This discussion has focused on two main <br />28 aspects: short-term and long-term rentals. Most recently, the City Council held a work session on <br />29 February 25 to review proposed ordinance language for the two types of rentals. The group discussed <br />30 some new considerations related to the topics. <br />31 <br />32 The City Council agreed that it would be beneficial to obtain input from the Planning Commission <br />33 related to long-term rentals of single-family properties. Once there is consensus on both short-term <br />34 and long-term housing, Staff will develop proposed ordinance language based on recommendations. <br />35 The Planning Commission would have the opportunity to review and provide comments on specific <br />36 ordinance language once available. <br />37 <br />38 Previous work session discussions have resulted in diverse considerations. Issues and discussion have <br />39 included (1) Working toward the creation of affordable housing opportunities; (2) Identifying <br />40 strategies that can foster “Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing” (NOAH), through home <br />41 ownership; (3) Balancing impacts of market influences with local regulations; (4) Potential use of <br />42 outside agencies or strategies that could realistically assist St. Anthony in reaching its goals as they <br />43 may be defined. <br />44 <br />45 Affordable housing efforts are being pursued on various fronts by the City. In the rental context, the <br />46 City has focused largely on if and how the City might consider limitations on renting of its single- <br />47 family housing stock. <br />48
