Loveland's 180-day moratorium on new short-term rentals is weeks from expiring, and City Council's Aug. 11, meeting could be the first step toward a permanent ordinance.

Council meets at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 120 W. Loveland Ave. The city encouraged residents to attend in a post on X, calling the meetings a way to stay informed and be part of the conversation.

The specific agenda was not publicly available as of publication. Residents can check the city's public meetings portal for posted materials.

What's at stake

Council approved the short-term rental moratorium on March 10, pausing new permits for 180 days while staff drafted permanent regulations. That clock runs out in early September, giving council limited runway to act before the moratorium lapses.

On Tuesday, July 28, council held a public hearing on a comprehensive rewrite of Loveland's zoning code, recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The city said at the time that the hearing was meant to gather public comment on the proposed rewrite. Whether council took final action that night, or whether the rewrite returns on the Aug. 11 agenda, is not confirmed in available records.

City projects in motion

The Nisbet Park Amphitheater rebuild is underway after demolition of the old structure began the week of May 11. The city has secured $250,000 in grants and is pursuing additional funding, with completion expected in 2026.

A $4.6-million grant from the OKI Regional Council of Governments will fund Phase 1 improvements along the Loveland-Madeira Road corridor, with construction anticipated in 2027.

How to participate

Meetings are open to the public at City Hall, 120 W. Loveland Ave. The next regular council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 25, at 7 p.m.
