Kira Erickson reports from the Langley City Council meeting of Mon., Aug. 5, 2024 for the South Whidbey Record.

With little fanfare, the Langley City Council unanimously approved the second reading of an ordinance limiting short-term rentals in the Village by the Sea.

Proposed by Councilmember Craig Cyr, the new ordinance reduces the number of permits property owners can obtain for the purpose of renting out their entire homes or accessory dwelling units to vacationers….

The council is seeking a reduction in short-term rentals as a way to provide housing for year-round residents working in the city who may be struggling to find a place to live.
