If you ever wished for a way to keep rental properties off your block, you might get your wish. The city council will take up a discussion on the number of rentals in Bemidji neighborhoods at their regular meeting on Monday at 7:00.
The council originally requested a moratorium on new rental registrations in order to study the idea. They'll see that ordinance Monday, but will also be presented with a rental density ordinance. The density ordinance would limit the number of rentals based on a percentage per block.
Several other college towns have instituted density ordinances. Duluth limits rentals to within 300 feet of each other in the university area. Mankato passed a density ordinance a year ago that limits density to 25% of homes on each block.
Is it time for Bemidji to have a density ordinance?
