Sedona staff reports state legislative update; several short-term rental bills fail to advance
Summary
City staff told Sedona council members that several short-term rental bills the city supported failed to advance and advised the council to register opposition to SB 1228, which would bar new local regulations on single-family homes for three years.
City staff briefed the council on the status of several pending state bills and the legislative calendar. Staff said a majority of proposed bills failed to receive hearings before the chamber-of-origin deadline, and several bills the city had supported related to short-term rentals did not advance.
Staff highlighted SB 1228, a Senate bill that would prohibit cities from adopting new regulations related to single-family homes for three years except for health-and-safety measures or actions intended to reduce the cost of housing. The League of Arizona Cities and Towns and some municipalities have registered opposition. Staff recommended the council register opposition to SB 1228.
The municipal general plan bill the city had supported two years ago passed the House and was transmitted to the Senate, staff reported; that bill could affect how municipalities use certain planning tools in future general-plan updates.
No formal council action beyond direction to register opposition to SB 1228 was recorded at the meeting.
