Council Member Barrett recommended the need to address "hosted" vs "un -hosted,"
and clarification of parking requirements.
Council Member Healy recommended obtaining staff input on language related to on -
street parking allowances and density, as well as the 90 -day limit on "hosted" vs "un -
hosted." Inquired with staff about adopting language to provide existing participants in
this program "legal non -conforming status."
Council Member King thanked everyone for their communications; would like
clarification on density, number of homes, the "fairness of enforcement," the
classification of granny units and parking requirements. Drafting dispute resolution
process should specify "written" complaints.
Council Member Albertson requested an equitable parking resolution, clarification for
"hosted" vs "un -hosted" and granny units, density limits; controls will be needed for
legitimate complains.
Council Member Miller stated that the City must continue to work on this to get the best
product.
Council Member Kearney expressed concerns for the current amount of calls for service
at existing users and the City's ability to enforce this legislation that should be cost -neutral
to the city.
Mayor Glass expressed confidence with this process, and concerns with the "length of
stay;" he expressed the notion that this item needs an annual review and the City should
"sunset" this legislation for future Council review; the City should consider the zoning and
permitting alternatives.
Council Member Barrett made reference for staff to address page 13, has an
inconsistency on "3 or more complaints" and later in the page it refers to "3 complaints."
Eric Danly asked Mayor and Council for clarification on guidance regarding process and
whether the Planning Commission should be included for review and text amendments.
Heather Hines, Planning Department, provided clarification on input already included
from Planning Commission, and advised that some of the input received is simply
refinement and other issues are for consideration.
John Brown, City Manager asked if Council would like staff to return the refinements to
Council or take it to Planning Commission first.
Mayor Glass polled Council and requested input on direction. Council recommended
that staff review the item with the input from the Council meeting and return to Council.
COUNCIL COMMENT
Council Member Albertson- Mayor's and Council Member's Association Legislative Committee
met and discussed current legislation in place and Committee leadership change.
