Challenging to Investors
Escalante explicitly allows STRs citywide with clear licensing, low fees, and transferable licenses, but a hard cap of 30 licenses (≈7% of water meters; only ~5 slots remaining) creates significant entry barriers. Extensive documentation, inspections, and ADU restrictions further add operational complexity.
