Pool Use Restrictions for Vacationers Could Get Vote in Rehoboth

The Rehoboth Beach Board of Commissioners plan to hold a vote on four measures to clamp down on vacation rentals including pool use by renters.

The vote set for June 19th would include a ban on renters from using pools at their vacation rentals by 2018.

In addition, another would put tighter limits on home size while a third would require more off-street parking.

Finally, there were would be a pool licensing system in addition to the ban.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that there will be public hearings on the parking and house-size ordinances since they would alter the zoning code.

A fifth measure would continue a temporary moratorium on building pools if the pool-use ban does not get approval.
