ST. GEORGE — Unprecedented growth has spurred the Springdale Town Council to vote to only accept applications for transient lodging during even-numbered years.
This change in the ordinance was recommended by the Springdale Planning Commission to address the town's overwhelming number of transit applications during Wednesday's council meeting.
"Obviously, working on this and deciding how to do this is going to be a big task and not something that we can do, certainly in tonight's meeting, or even in a series of several meetings," director of community development Tom Dansie said during the planning commission's Dec. 7 meeting.
By general definition, transient lodging is any establishment that receives payment in exchange for the use of the dwelling for 30 consecutive days or less, including any hotel, motel or bed and breakfast.
