Summary
Ogden ties short-term rental licensing directly to noise compliance. A short-term rental that becomes a nuisance through violations of the city noise ordinance gives the city just cause to deny, refuse to renew, or revoke the rental license after a hearing.
M. Noncompliance With Standards: Noncompliance with the standards of this section; allowing the property associated with the short-term rental license to become a nuisance, such as through violations of the city noise ordinance or property maintenance standards; failure to maintain the original conditions that allowed the short-term rental license to be issued; and entering into sham transactions shall each constitute just cause for the denial of an application or renewal, or revocation of a short-term rental license.
Full Breakdown
M makes noise enforcement part of the short-term rental licensing scheme rather than a separate track. Noncompliance with the section's standards, allowing the licensed property to become a nuisance through violations of the city noise ordinance or property maintenance standards, failing to maintain the original conditions that justified the license, or entering into a sham transaction each constitute just cause for denial, non-renewal, or revocation. 8 requires notice that events are not allowed at the rental at all, reflecting the city's focus on party-type noise sources.
1 requires findings of fact at an administrative hearing before a Hearing Officer under Title 5, Chapter 1, Article C, giving the operator a due-process opportunity to contest the noise-related nuisance claim before losing the license. Ogden Police Department responds to noise complaints citywide, and Community and Economic Development's Code Enforcement staff track nuisance conditions tied to licensed short-term rentals for referral to the hearing process.
Violations & Fines
A short-term rental cited for city noise ordinance violations that rise to a nuisance can have its license denied, not renewed, or revoked under § 15-13-38.M after a Hearing Officer finds the facts support just cause. If revoked, the rental use must end within thirty days, and the dwelling is barred from short-term rental use again for three years under 15-13-38.M.2 and M.3.
