Special Use Permit for STR in Campbell County, VA

[Alyssa Magyar]

In the process of setting up my townhome as a STR. Called the local zoning office and they said they require a special use permit to operate legally. The first step is to write a narrative of why i am requesting the special use permit and other specifics about the request and about the home. I've heard they dont like STRs where the owner is not around a lot/ doesnt live there. I plan to manage the place myself and do regular checkups so i plan to include that information and anything that would show that i will be actively involved. Has anyone gone through this process that can provide tips to writing a good narrative for this? Any thoughts and advice is very appreciated! Thank you!
