7.02: Introduce Ordinance#16-07 Opting Out of Temporary Family Health Care Dwelling <br /> Statute (Project No. 16-67) <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report and recommendation that the <br /> City opt out of the current bill and adopt a separate ordinance establishing its own process for these <br /> situations, as allowed by the Statute. He stated that staff does not object to the concept nor the <br /> need for temporary housing in these situations, however the City would be able to utilize existing <br /> tools to address the situation,most notably an Interim Use Permit(IUP). He stated that staff would <br /> be open to setting up a process that is a bit more streamlined than the 1UP process. He noted that <br /> this will also allow staff more time to establish standards unique to Ramsey,maintain local control <br /> over and use decisions, and ensure that proper public safety and building standards are maintained. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked what would happen if the City did nothing. *466", <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill stated that if the City does nothing the statute will go <br /> into effect and all the standards outlined in the statute would apply. He noted that the City would <br /> have the time to opt out after September 1St through another process but the statute would still <br /> apply after September 1St until the time when the City did opt out. <br /> Councilmember Shryock asked if there would be a deadline for the City to adopt their own <br /> standards. <br /> Community Development Director Gladhill replied that there would not be a deadline. He <br /> explained that if the City opts out there is no action needed and if desired the City could then <br /> develop their own standards and enact them on their own timeline. <br /> Mayor Strommen stated that this would then be a two-step process as the City would opt out of <br /> this statute and then would have a policy discussion to determine if they would like to develop <br /> their own standards. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Kuzma,seconded by Councilmember Johns,to introduce an Ordinance <br /> 916-07 opting out of the permitting program allowing temporary family health care dwellings in <br /> residential areas and direct staff to prepare a separate ordinance establishing a process for <br /> temporary housing. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Strommen, Councilmembers Kuzma, Johns, Kuzma, <br /> Shryock, and Williams. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmembers LeTourneau and Riley. <br /> City Council/August 8, 2016 <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br />
