Details surrounding the impetus for this consideration, such as specific concerns regarding zoning, community impact, or housing availability, were not provided in the initial summary. The scope of the proposed ban focuses exclusively on units constructed recently and intended for short-term rental purposes.

The exact timeline for when this consideration might lead to a formal vote or public hearing is also not specified. Furthermore, information regarding the potential impact on property owners, the rental market, or existing short-term rental regulations within Ocean City is not currently available.

The proposal represents a move by the municipality to potentially regulate a specific segment of its vacation rental market. Further details regarding the proposed legislation, including any specific dates, council discussions, or public feedback sessions, are expected to emerge as the consideration process advances.
