The Springdale Town Council has applied the brakes on new transient lodging applications for the next six months.
A task force has been created and will analyze options and recommendations to decide the best way forward when it comes to transient lodging. They plan to then submit a recommendation to the Planning Commission.
The task force includes Mayor Barbar Bruno, Town Manager Rick Wixom, Director of Community Development Tom Dansie, Councilwoman Lisa Zumpft, Planning Commission members Tom Kenaston and Ric Rioux, Hans Dunzinger, who is representing owners of transient lodging, and Teresa Silcox as a “resident at large.”
“We welcome feedback that is helpful and relevant to this process,” Bruno said. “The task force that we put together is working on that now. We have diverse feelings about the issue. We come from diverse backgrounds, and we’re researching what other areas in Utah are doing. We will come to some consensus. We hope that we have something to the Planning Commission by May.”
