Re: Condo-Hotel

I would think most municipalities would treat it as both; in other words, it would have to meet the (non-conflicting) requirements applicable to both uses.

Some municipalities in major resort area like Palm Springs or Lake Tahoe may have developed a special zoning classification for condo hotels, but probably very few.

If you are planning to develop or invest in such a project, retain a real estate lawyer who practices in the municipality in question. If you are merely a curious member of the public, a cheaper way to get a pretty reliable answer is to contact the city or county attorney for the municipality and request an opinion.
