Walnutport appears intent to update its outdated short-term rental ordinance.

Borough solicitor Michael Corriere revisited the draft ordinance with borough council last week.

“The old one is a little behind the times,” Corriere said. “It upgrades the use to bring it up to the 2020s.”

Borough engineer Jason Newhard said, “it’s something that really isn’t a problem yet.”

Corriere said the zoning would remain R1 and R2, and it would still permit five rental units.

Further, guests can stay for a minimum of three days, and maximum of no more than 14 days a month.

Newhard suggested possibly limiting the number of rentals per month.

Council then instructed Corriere to make changes for its review.

Last month, Corriere told council that he finished a draft of the short-term rental ordinance.

He said the previous one had been from the early 1980s.
