Community Development Director Gladhill explained the City could use either an interim use <br />permit or conditional use permit for these uses. <br />6.03: Discussion Topic: Temporary Health Care Dwellings Units and Tiny Homes. <br />Presentation <br />Community Development Intern Henderson presented the Staff Report explaining the State passed <br />legislation last session allowing Temporary Health Care Dwellings on single family residential <br />lots. The City opted out as permitted by State Statute. However, the City Council wanted to revisit <br />this topic and potentially develop the City's own set of standards to address them. The goal of this <br />case is to open a discussion on how Ramsey should tackle Temporary Health Care Dwellings. This <br />may also be an opportune time to evaluate the viability of Tiny Homes in Ramsey as well. Staff <br />provided further comment on these uses and requested feedback from the Commission. <br />Commission Business <br />Chairperson Bauer understood temporary health care units and tiny homes were typically on <br />wheels. He believed this issue needed to be looked into further. He stated he also wanted to better <br />understand how the City would define "temporary". <br />Commissioner Nosan discussed the differences between having a tiny home on a City sized lot <br />versus acreage. She commented that tiny homes could grow in popularity in the coming years. <br />She supported the Commission looking into the City's requirements in further detail. <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated he would like to find a way to make tiny homes work in Ramsey, <br />on a temporary basis. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated staff would bring this issue back to the <br />Commission at a future meeting for further discussion. <br />7.
