ST. GEORGE — The persistent push of transient lodging applications has caused the Springdale Town Council to fine-tune ordinances again to preserve the "unique village atmosphere and enhance the quality of life."
On the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Town Council adopted a revised Transient Lodging Overlay Zone ordinance at its December meeting.
Lodging is considered transient if the establishment receives payment in exchange for the use of the dwelling for 30 consecutive days or less and includes any hotel, motel or bed and breakfast.
"We feel it (the revised ordinance) helps address the impact of transient lodging on the town while maintaining transient lodging as an allowed use of commercial property," Springdale Mayor Barbara Bruno told St. George News in an email. "We are especially concerned about the conversion of long-term housing to transient lodging and preserving a diversity of commercial uses in the town of Springdale."
