Holladay's City Council will weigh short-term rental policy at a work session Thursday, Oct. 22, at 6 p.m.

The session's agenda, posted by City Recorder Stephanie Carlson on Monday, Oct. 19, lists "Short-Term Rental Options" as a discussion item led by Community and Economic Development Director Jon Teerlink. The agenda does not detail what policy changes are on the table, but the item signals a conversation beyond the case-by-case conditional use permits the city has handled so far.

Holladay currently allows short-term rentals only in its R-2 and R-M zones, and only on roads at least 60 feet wide. Properties must have four bedrooms or fewer, keep all parking on-site and maintain a residential appearance with no signage. Violations can lead to permit revocation, according to Planning Commission minutes from a Dec. 2, 2025, hearing on a rental application at 4318 South 2300 East.

At that hearing, City Planner Carrie Marsh told commissioners that cities may need to find ways to make long-term rentals more attractive than short-term ones, calling it a broader policy discussion worth exploring. Commissioner Gong had raised the question of short-term rentals' effect on the housing market.

The agenda offers no specifics on what Teerlink will propose.

Thursday's work session also includes a Salt Lake County Council presentation on the county budget, services and key priorities. Unified Police Department Chief Ackerman and Unified Fire Authority Capt. Brown will each deliver quarterly reports.

Two other items round out the agenda. Megan Attermann will present a Public Art Plan, and Economic Development and Housing Manager Ann Garcia will give an update on the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The council approved a CDBG agreement with Salt Lake County in November 2025, directing $220,000 in federal funds plus a $10,160 city match toward a home-repair loan program administered by the nonprofit NeighborWorks.

The work session takes place at Holladay Council Chambers, 3330 South 1300 East. The public is invited to observe, though public comment is generally not taken during work sessions. A livestream will be available on the city's website.
