2 Council Member Barrett recommended the need to address "hosted" vs "un -hosted,",
3 and clarification of parking requirements.
4
5 Council Member Healy recommended obtaining staff input on language related to on -
6 street parking allowances and density, as well as the 90 -day limit on "hosted" vs "un -
7 hosted." Inquired with staff about adopting language to provide existing participants in
8 this program "legal non -conforming status."
9
10 Council Member King thanked everyone for their communications; would like
11 clarification on density, number of homes, the "fairness of enforcement," the
12 classification of granny units and parking requirements. Drafting dispute resolution
13 process should specify "written" complaints.
14
15 Council Member Albertson requested an equitable parking resolution, clarification for
16 "hosted" vs "un -hosted" and granny units, density limits; controls will be needed for
17 legitimate complains.
18

20 product.
21

24 to the city.
25
26 Mayor Glass expressed confidence with this process, and concerns with the "length of
27 stay;" he expressed the notion that this item needs an annual review and the City should
28 "sunset" this legislation for future Council review; the City should consider the zoning and
29 permitting alternatives.
30
31 Council Member Barrett made reference for staff to address page 13, has an
32 inconsistency on "3 or more complaints" and later in the page it refers to "3 complaints."
33

35 whether the Planning Commission should be included for review and text amendments.
36
37 Heather Hines, Planning Department, provided clarification on input already included
38 from Planning Commission, and advised that some of the input received is simply
39 refinement and other issues are for consideration.
40
41 John Brown, City Manager asked if Council would like staff to return the refinements to
42 Council or take it to Planning Commission first.
43
44 Mayor Glass polled Council and requested input on direction. Council recommended
45 that staff review the item with the input from the Council meeting and return to Council.
