Buellton Motel Law Sparks Legal Battle

Buellton’s new motel law sparking legal firestorm: City bans long-term rentals on Avenue of Flags to revitalize the area, but motel owner Kerry Moriarty is suing, calling it illegal, discriminatory, and a death knell for affordable housing. He argues the law unfairly targets his “grandfathered” property while ignoring similar motels like Red Rose Court, and claims procedural violations and environmental oversights. City counters with new housing projects and extended tenant timelines, but remains silent amid the lawsuit. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
