The city's draft comprehensive <br />plan calls for the adoption of a housing code as a tool to handle <br />deteriorating and substandard residential properties. More <br />specifically, an apartment resident requested that the city <br />consider an ordinance to require that the temperature of dwelling <br />units be kept at 68 degrees. This logically falls within a <br />housing code. <br />In order to determine a housing code's value to the City of <br />Falcon Heights, it is critical to know what a housing code <br />entails and how it can be implemented. The attached report <br />addresses these points. <br />The city council informally discussed the need for a housing code <br />at its September 11, 1991 workshop and agreed that it should be <br />researched further by the planning commission. <br />ATTACHMENT A - A report on a housing code, dated September <br />6, 1991 <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />• <br />
