Analysis of the Issues In May 2001, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. NS-2471 which established new hotel regulations citywide. The City's zoning code did not previously differentiate between hotels catering to long-term stay business guests and transient/residential hotels. Therefore, the new ordinance established definitions for hotels, long-term stay business hotels and transient residential hotels. Further, the ordinance stated that new extended stay business hotels be allowed only "in limited circumstances and on a case-by-case basis.
