Airbnb questions - Limited lodging operator license and zoning permit

[Account Closed]

Hello! I am trying to set up my first airbnb listing in Philadelphia, PA. To do so airbnb is requesting that I get a Limited lodging License or a rental license with a hotel classification number.

I am in the process of applying for the limited Lodging license.

Part of the requirements for a Limited Lodging License is, I have to submit a change of use Zoning application. On my zoning application, the reviewer requested that I 1). present a license with the address of the property that I am attempting to airbnb and 2). requiring that I have lived at that location as my primary residence for 6 months

Is this something that anybody is familiar with or has experienced before? I cant say that it makes sense to me.

Thank you
