However, them are no standards or permit <br />requirements to move a dwelling out of the City or for moving an accessory building into, <br />within, or out of City limits. Currently, the DMP process requires that the request is presented to <br />the Planning Commission and then ultimately to City Council. The process requires <br />approximately two months from the time an application is received until City Council votes on <br />the matter. The proposed revisions to Chapter 8 of the City Code are aimed at accomplishing <br />several things. First, provisions have been included that would require a Moving Permit to be <br />obtained from the Building Division if a dwelling were to be moved out of the City or if an <br />accessory building greater than 120 square feet in size were to be moved into, within, or out of <br />the City. This type of permit will allow the City to verify, prior to a building being raised and <br />relocated, that all utilities have been properly shut off and/or capped and that the foundation is <br />properly removed and/or backfilled. Secondly, the entire DMP process would be streamlined by <br />eliminating the need for the request to be presented to both the Planning Commission and City <br />Council. While staff would have the ability to administratively approve or deny a DMP <br />application, the conditions and criteria currently used to evaluate this type of request would <br />remain intact. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Trudgeon indicated the Planning Commission recommended <br />adoption of this ordinance on April 6, 2006. At the April 25, 2006 meeting, Council raised <br />several questions regarding the ordinance. Staff has revised the definition of Subject Property to <br />include properties from which a structure has been removed. Language has also been added to <br />clarify that a Moving Permit is required any time an accessory structure is moved within city <br />limits or for any dwelling being moved out of the City and that a Dwelling Moving Permit is <br />required only when the final destination of the dwelling is within the City. Mr. Trudgeon <br />advised in accordance with the City Charter, the ordinance is now eligible for adoption. Staff <br />recommends adopting the ordinance to amend Section 8.35 of City Code as proposed. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Jeffrey, seconded by Couneilmember Pearson, to adopt ordinance <br />#06-16 amending Section 8.35 (Regulation of Single Family Dwellings to be moved into or <br />within the City). <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed by the Recording Secretary: <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec: aye <br />Councilmember Cook: aye <br />Councilmember Elvig: aye <br />Councilmember Jeffrey: aye <br /> <br />City Council / May 9, 2006 <br /> Page 19 of 30 <br /> <br /> <br />
