He stated that staff does not object to the concept nor the need for temporary housing in health care situations however, the City would be able to utilize existing tools to address the situation, most notably an Interim Use Permit (IUP). He noted that staff would be open to setting up a process more streamlined than the IUP process. He stated that the development pattern of Ramsey is diverse in terms of housing stock and lot size and therefore it would be difficult to apply the current Statute in one size fits all fashion across the city.
