2Adjournment
Meeting adjourned at 7:04 p.m.
Options the council weighed, and what happened to them. The record of the road not taken.
ADU ordinance standards (distance from primary dwelling)
rejectedRequire the ADU to be built within 50' of the primary dwelling (as drafted)
Why: Council Member Rolf voiced concern about requiring the ADU to be built within 50' of the primary dwelling and suggested allowing them to be built 75'-100' away; the council agreed to amend the ordinance to allow ADUs within 100' of the primary dwelling.
ADU ordinance standards (location on property)
mentioned onlyUse land percent to determine where the ADU could be constructed (possibly with a maximum distance cap)
Why: Discussed as an idea; the recorded agreement was to amend the ordinance to allow ADUs within 100' of the primary dwelling.
Raised by Council Member Tradewell
ADU regulation approach (rentals and permitting)
mentioned onlyPermit ADUs like the city does for Interim Use Permits (IUP)
Why: Raised in discussion about preventing ADUs from becoming rental properties; no recorded council action specific to adopting an IUP-like permit requirement.
