Alternatives considered
Options the council weighed, and what happened to them. The record of the road not taken.
Make larger payments periodically based on the payments received by residents
Why: The agreement’s prepayment provisions required that any prepayment pay off the note in full, so the city could not make larger payments periodically.
Raised by Council Member Tradewell
THC products regulation approach
rejected
Do not adopt the moratorium because the city does not have the resources to enforce it
Why: Council members expressed support for adopting the moratorium to allow more research and development of a licensing process; staff said they would begin researching if adopted.
Raised by Kevin Shepherd
Josh Walstrom IUP screening requirement
rejected
Install a fence as a temporary solution
Cost comparison: Described as a temporary solution that 'would not incur too much cost.'
Why: Applicant requested arbor vitae trees instead, and council members voiced support for revising screening condition to trees.
Raised by Brad Johnson
Accessory Dwelling Units ordinance (Ordinance 22-05) occupancy rules
mentioned only
Require that both units must be occupied by family members
