City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 14, 2025 Page 5 2 The language also includes the prohibition of short-term rentals in all other residential zones, 3 including R-2, R-3, and R-4 Districts. This aspect of the proposed ordinance has been in the draft 4 language for some time, but has not been the focus of much specific attention. Staff is seeking 5 confirmation that the ordinance language accurately reflects the intent of the Council. 6 7 One other section was modified based on Council discussion, relating to the potential exceptions 8 to the overall single-family rental cap. Council expressed concern over a lack of definition of the 9 hardship clause. While there is going to be some subjectivity to this determination, the additional 10 language is intended to create some boundaries around a request for a waiver from the cap. The 11 exception would be in play only if a homeowner were unable to continue to occupy their 12 homestead but wished to retain ownership during an interim period of time, renting out the home 13 during that temporary period, and if the number of single-family home rentals had been reached 14 in that neighborhood. 15 16 The second Ordinance 2025-06 is administrative in nature and is intended to supplement Section 17 152 (Rental Housing), but is more generally applied to all rental housing in the community. 18 Section 152 is proposed to be amended by adding several more specific definitions and process 19 requirements. No changes have been made to this draft since the prior reading. 20 21 Motion by Councilmember Elnagdy, seconded by Councilmember Jenson, to approve Second 22 Reading of Ordinance 2025-05 - An Ordinance Amending the City Code, Sections 152 and 154, 23 Related to Licensing and Regulations for Renting of Single -Family Detached Housing. 24 25 Motion carried 5-0. 26 27 Motion by Councilmember Jenson, seconded by Councilmember Doolan, to approve Second 28 Reading of Ordinance 2025-06 — An Ordinance Amending the City Code, Section 152, Related 29 to Licensing and Regulations for Renting of Single -Family Housing. 30 31 Motion carried 5-0. 32 33 X.
