The meeting stems from talks held Nov. 9 between county commissioners and the town board about possible changes to vacation-home rental regulations in Estes Park and the Estes Valley. Nearly 500 to 600 vacation homes operate in the town and nearby areas, and the number is growing. Concerns have been expressed about unlicensed homes, problems between permanent residents and vacation-home renters, traffic and trash in neighborhoods, and what the occupancy limits should be for small and large homes.

A summary of that meeting and the proposed rule changes are online.
