COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />7.01: Consider Allowing Accessory Dwelling Units on Single -Family Residential Properties <br />Presentation <br />Planning Technician McCann presented the Staff Report stating that staff recommends that the <br />Commission direct City staff to draft an ordinance to be presented at the regular September 23, <br />2021 meeting with edits as discussed during the meeting. <br />Commission Business <br />Commissioner VanScoy commented that this would be a potential ordinance and noted that he <br />believed this discussion was meant to determine if the Commission would like to consider an <br />ordinance. He believed that a step was skipped. <br />Planning Technician McCann stated that there is not official ordinance drafting at this time. <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that this was meant to be a discussion and determine if <br />the Commission would like to move forward. She noted that the City Council is interested in <br />looking at an ordinance. She stated that staff continues to receive at least one request per month <br />of this nature. She noted that the cost of senior housing is high, and the housing market also has <br />high pricing, which is making more people think about living with a family member, or on the <br />same property. She welcomed input from the Commission on whether they are interested in <br />exploring this further and any other input they may have. <br />Planning Commission/ August 26, 2021 <br />Page 18 of 26 <br />
