County supervisors are considering placing a freeze on vacation rental properties in three coastal neighborhoods of Santa Cruz. The plan is a response to the housing crisis and neighbors’ complaints about the rentals.
The Santa Cruz Sentinel reports that the number of permits issued for three popular neighborhoods — Live Oak, Davenport and Aptos — could soon be frozen at the currently permitted 740 vacation rentals and 250 hosted rentals.
Supervisors still must finalize the freeze at a future meeting.
