CONWAY â In one of the most contentious issues to come before the town in quite some time, Conway residents will go to the polls next Tuesday to act on warrant articles that include ones that will allow and regulate short-term rentals.
Selectmen are hoping voters approve Articles 21 and 22, to create a $50,000 trust fund with $50,000 to be used to regulate short-term rentals. They also are asking voters to approve a noise ordinance under Article 23.
But it is Article 3 that would include short-term rentals (Airbnbs) in all zones where single-family residences are permitted. Under current zoning, short-term rentals are limited to owner-occupied properties.

FAIRFIELD Solano County planning staff on Tuesday will present to the Board of Supervisors possible revisions to the short-term vacation rental policy approved in October 2018.
The staff report to the board states that only four permits have been approved since that requirement to operate a hosted or unhosted short-term vacation rental was enacted.
“We know there’s more than four,” Supervisor Monica Brown said in a phone interview Friday. She has advocated for tighter regulations on the industry in Solano County. “There are people out there (running rentals) without permits . . . out there doing it illegally.”
