Mayor Glass summarized Council's direction to staff.
14
15
Regarding "Temporary Emergency Housing," there was consensus to move
16
forward with these items, to be in effect for a 12 -month period:
17
18
• Rental of existing guest houses, pool houses for interim housing for fire victims.
19
• One recreational vehicle or travel trailer may be allowed on a residential
20
property, industrial or business park property provided:
21
o it does not encroach into the public right-of-way when parked.
22
o is permitted by applicable CC&Rs.
23
o is properly connected to water, sewer, and electric services (the use
24
of a generator is prohibited).
25
o the user of the vehicle has obtained consent from the property owner
26
prior to parking the vehicle.
27
o it is parked a minimum of 20 feet from a habitable building on an
28
adjacent property.
29
o it is a model year 1998 or newer.
30
o it shall include working fire extinguisher, working smoke detector and
31
working carbon monoxide detector.
32
o a temporary occupancy permit has been granted by the Building
33
Official, contingent upon satisfaction of all other requirements.
34
Relaxed parking requirements for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
35
36
Regarding "Housing Affordability," there was not consensus to waive or reduce
37
housing impact fees. There was interest voiced by several Council Members in
38
favor of requiring inclusionary housing units instead of an in -lieu fee. Not all
39
members spoke to this. There was consensus to explore the possibility of including
40
residential housing in certain commercial zones.
41
42
Regarding "Just Cause Evictions," there was unanimous Council agreement that
43
a Just Cause Eviction ordinance should not be adopted.
