Posted By Kimberly Wear@kimberly wear on Wed, Feb 17, 2021 at 2:24 PM The Arcata City Council will consider adopting an ordinance tonight that would cap the number of vacation rentals at 100 and establish regulations regarding their operation, including obtaining a permit and posting contact information at the site. The consent agenda item was moved forward earlier this month in a 3-1 vote, with Mayor Sofia Pereira recused, Councilmembers Brett Watson, Stacy Atkins-Salazar and Emily Goldstein in favor and Councilmember Sarah Schaefer opposed. The outlined purpose of the ordinance is to ensure the safe and orderly conduct of such rentals and to limit the impact on the city s strapped housing stock.
