dwellings. This option will ensure that the City will not be required to allow this type of land use through a permitting process as of September 1,2016. Alternative 92: Approve a modified version of ordinance. This option would be based on the discussion held by the Council.NOTE: the City may not adopt only portions of the Statute. If the City wants to adopt a policy different than the Statute,it must first opt-out and adopt a separate Ordinance. Alternative 43: Do not approve the ordinance. This option would require Staff to establish a permitting program for temporary family health care dwellings in advance of September 1, 2016,effectively allowing this land use. Funding Source: This item is being handled as part of Staffs regular duties. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City opt out of the current bill and adopt a separate ordinance establishing its own process for these situations, as allowed by the Statute. Staff does not object to the concept nor the need for temporary housing in these situations. However,the City would be able to utilize existing tools to address this situation,most notably an Interim Use Permit(IUP). Staff would be open to setting up a process that is a bit more streamlined than the 1UP process. The development pattern of Ramsey is diverse in terms of housing stock and lot size. Staff feels it would be difficult to apply the current Statute in a one size fits all fashion across Ramsey. Staff would like more time to establish standards unique to Ramsey,maintain local control over land use decisions, and ensure that proper public safety and building standards are maintained. Many other communities are choosing to opt out. The Planning Commission has recommended the same. Action: Motion to introduce Ordinance 916-07 opting out of the permitting program allowing temporary family health care dwellings in residential areas and direct Staff to prepare a separate ordinance establishing a process for temporary housing.
