From the transcript
It has 5 nightly rentals, which under our zoning code, 5 or less nightly rentals falls under short-term lodging. And so, um, the building is operating as a short-term lodging with a short-term lodging permit. And this conditional use permit application is showing that the Renovations to the building will increase the number of nightly rental rooms from 5 to 12, which then puts it into that hotel category, which requires a conditional use permit, as well as other building modifications which would be handled by the building inspector and such. But, um, if you look at the application materials provided, you'll see on a site plan After the numbers, I think it's page 24. It got really small on my page.
