WENATCHEE â It was a full house on Zoom Tuesday night for Chelan Countyâs public hearing on its draft short-term rental regulations.
More than 400 people attended the public hearing and 47 people gave testimony over a two-hour period, but the county got through less than half the people who wanted to speak.
The three-person Chelan County Commission is set to vote Dec. 29 on the draft regulations. Commissioners Bob Bugert and Kevin Overbay said they have not decided whether they would vote for the regulations as they stand.
âThis has not been a rushed process, it has gone on for quite a while,â Chelan County Commissioner Doug England said. âAnd the only thing I can guarantee from this process is that no one will be entirely happy.â
