This legislation should be shelved because it has been so watered down to be largely ineffective at addressing the problems created by the STVRs. Comparing the minimalist requirements in this proposed bill to what is already in place in many other counties incl. Honolulu and Maui its clear that the opponents of this bill have already won.
I live in an ag. zoned area and have to deal with the various burdens that my neighbors have imposed upon me due to their unpermitted hosted VR operations. I feel strongly that these sorts of commercial operations should be confined to the specific zoning in which they were intended. If we continue to allow this then why not allow other commercial operations such as auto repair, various retail outlets, and a long list of other services and commercial activities. It's only fair. As a farmer myself, I might prefer to generate my primary source of income from some other enterprise.
