Use for commercial
Short term rentals unlike the rest of cbd... so there is no reason to pursue the str designation when you can do hotel ... now this hotel will basically be str run by a company like stay adam or sonder... it wont be listed on a service like air bnb or vrbo. Does this help clear it up? Basically there are now hotel chains or services that are running that you lease your building out to and they operate it like an str but its considered hotel under zoming laws because the units are only listed on that services website unlike a regular str that can list on multiple third party websites

So by getting a hotel designation, they can turn the building over to another company to become all STRs, and they don't have to worry about the new ban on new STR applications?
