NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

TO BE HELD MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2026

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE That the Village of Lancaster Board of Trustees will conduct a public hearing in the Council Chambers of the Lancaster Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway, Lancaster, New York on Monday, November 9, 2026 to consider a local law which if adopted would amend Chapter 350 “Zoning” of the Village Code to implement the registration, regulation, and restriction of “short-term rentals” i.e. rentals of dwelling units for a period of less than 30 continuous days such as Airbnb and VRBO rentals. In addition to implementing the registration and regulation of all short-term rentals, the local law if adopted would prohibit, from districts zoned as residential, short-term rentals of dwelling units which are not owner occupied.

The public hearing will promptly follow another hearing to be held pursuant to Village Code §115-7 of the Chapter 115 “Buildings, Unsafe” which is scheduled to commence at 7:15 PM.

The full text of the proposed local law may be reviewed at the Village of Lancaster website https://lancastervillageny.gov or during office hours at the office of the Village Clerk, Lancaster Municipal Building, 5423 Broadway, Lancaster, New York.

At said hearing, all persons so desiring shall have the opportunity to be heard.
