City Council Discusses Home Rental Services, Rex Senior Healthcare
City Council on Tuesday during its regular session discussed a number of items, including home rental services, the relocation of Rex Senior Healthcare, and the sale of Stone’s Warehouse. A text change regarding home rental services like Airbnb was sent to the planning commission for further consideration. Previous discussion around home rental services surrounded the number of allowable rooms to rent, special use permits, and the desire of some councilors to see a pilot program instead of citywide legislation allowing home rental services to exist. Mayor McFarlane asked about the issue of tax collection and how much Wake County and the state would collect. City attorney Thomas McCormick said that Wake County would collect the local occupancy tax and that the rest had not been decided yet due to the state legislature being in session.
