Petition to Stop Short Term Rentals at Las Joyas
We, the undersigned eligible voters of Las Joyas Subdivision (Community) located in the City of Port Isabel, TX located in Cameron County, TX request the following regulations be put into place in accordance with Section 3.2 Leases of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Las Joyas Planned Unit Development made and established February 17, 2015.
- Daily rentals in Las Joyas Community be ceased effective October 1, 2020.
- Require home rentals to be a minimum of one week (7 days and 6 nights) effective October 1, 2020.
- No more homes or lots to be sold as rental properties, effective immediately.
- There shall be no “grandfathering” of rental properties. These rules shall apply to all properties in the Las Joyas Community.
We request these restrictions be put into place for the safety of our community.
I would be open that going forward for any new lots or homes not to be operated as rental homes. As well with a minimum of 5 day rentals and up during high season which is from Spring to Summer and shift it to minimum of 3 days during Winter and Fall Season. I am mindful of the folks that are renting their properties which should be provided the right as well from a homeowner. There has to be middle ground and both sides should have respect for the property, the community, and the owners. As well the owners and folks that actually live there should have access to all amenities at all times and should be restricted to renters such as planning limit and time frames.
