Coon Rapids, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 12-900 § 12-901

It is the purpose of this Chapter to protect the public health, safety and welfare of citizens of the City by adopting a rental dwelling licensing, inspection and maintenance program that corrects substandard conditions, maintains a standard for existing and newly constructed rental dwellings, and ensures neighborhood stability in the City. The operation of rental properties is a business enterprise that includes certain responsibilities. Rental dwelling Owners and Managers are responsible to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to ensure that the citizens who occupy such rental units, as well as neighboring properties, may pursue the quiet enjoyment of the normal activities of life in surroundings that are safe, secure, and sanitary, free from noise, nuisances and annoyances, and free from unreasonable fears about safety of persons and property.
Further, The City finds that short-term rentals located in residential zoning districts constitute commercial use of residential property, conflict with the residential nature of the zoning districts, disrupt the residential nature of neighborhoods, and have a negative impact on the livability of residential neighborhoods. The City has received complaints from residents regarding short-term rentals including complaints related to noise, over occupancy and illegal parking. Therefore, in order to ensure adequate housing options for residents, preserve the residential character of the City's residential districts, and provide for the health, safety and welfare of its residents, the City determines that it is appropriate to limit short-term rentals to hotels, motels and similar accommodations which are appropriately zoned and have the appropriate infrastructure and services for short-term use.
