Mayor Glass summarized Council's direction to staff.
Regarding "Temporary Emergency Housing," there was consensus to move
forward with these items, to be in effect for a 12 -month period:
Rental of existing guest houses, pool houses for interim housing for fire victims.
One recreational vehicle or travel trailer may be allowed on a residential
property, industrial or business park property provided:
• it does not encroach into the public right -of -way when parked.
• is permitted by applicable CC &Rs.
• is properly connected to water, sewer, and electric services (the use
of a generator is prohibited).
• the user of the vehicle has obtained consent from the property owner
prior to parking the vehicle.
• it is parked a minimum of 20 feet from a habitable building on an
adjacent property.
• it is a model year 1998 or newer.
• it shall include working fire extinguisher, working smoke detector an_ d
working carbon monoxide detector.
• a temporary occupancy permit has been granted by the Building
Official, contingent upon satisfaction of all other requirements.
Relaxed parking requirements for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
Regarding "Housing Affordability," there was not consensus to waive or reduce
housing impact fees. There was interest voiced by several Council Members in
favor of requiring inclusionary housing units instead of an in -lieu fee. Not all
members spoke to this. There was consensus to explore the possibility of including
residential housing in certain commercial zones.
Regarding "Just Cause Evictions," there was unanimous Council agreement that
a Just Cause Eviction ordinance should not be adopted.
