A short-term rental known as "The Inn at Darley View" was the focal point of discussion at the Lexington Board of Adjustment meeting on June 9, 2025. The property, which has been operating for nine years, was reviewed for its compliance and continued operation as a rental facility.
During the meeting, board members clarified that the property is not a bed and breakfast but rather a short-term rental. This distinction was crucial as it impacts the regulations and expectations surrounding the property’s use. One board member noted the listing on Google Maps, which referred to the property as an "inn," prompting questions about its classification.
The discussion confirmed that the property’s name does not imply it operates as a traditional inn or bed and breakfast, but strictly as a short-term rental. This clarification was essential for the board's decision-making process regarding the approval of the rental's continued operation.
With no further questions or comments from the board, the meeting moved towards a motion to approve the rental, signaling a positive step for the property owners and the local rental market. The outcome of this meeting highlights the ongoing evolution of short-term rental regulations in Lexington, as the city navigates the balance between hospitality and residential community standards.
