BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
After conducting a public hearing on December 4, 2018, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 18-0024 and scheduled the second reading for December 18, 2018. The City Council took public comment from residents, discussed the proposed Ordinance and amended the covenant requirement to remove the provision allowing a property owner to have up to a two-year absence from owner occupancy of the property. No other changes were made to the Ordinance.
Staff recommends that the City Council waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 18-0024 with revisions related to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and accessory structures.
