Minutes for the Planning Commission Meeting of Thursday, July 14, 2016 <br />Chair, Kleissler called the meeting to order at 7:03 p.m. <br />PRESENT: Arcand, Kleissler, Knauss, McRoberts, Patzner, Rosenquist <br />ABSENT: Lessard <br />STAFF: Rachel Juba, Planner <br />Rachel Leitz, Community Development Assistant <br />Approval of Minutes for the Planning Commission Meeting of June 23, 2016 <br />Commissioner Knauss made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Rosenquist, to approve minutes for the <br />meeting of June 23, 2016. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Discussion on Te_mporar_y Health Care Dwellings <br />Leitz presented on the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance. She stated that in May 2016, the <br />Governor signed a bill into law that allows landowners with existing residences to place a temporary dwelling <br />on their property to provide short term care for a relative with mental or physical impairments. Leitz described <br />the requirements the dwelling must meet and the application process for residents that would be interested in <br />this use. She stated that the law requires cities to follow and implement the new ordinance beginning <br />September 1, 2016 and it would take a considerable amount of staff time to prepare to accept applications, as <br />the approval process varies from the normal process. Leitz also stated that it was in staffs opinion that tracking <br />and monitoring permits, once approved, would also take a considerable amount of time and although a permit <br />has expired, that may not mean the health care issue has also expired. Leitz stated that Cities may opt out of the <br />law by passing an ordinance, which requires a public hearing through the Planning Commission and approval <br />by the City Council. Leitz concluded by saying that staff recommends that the Planning Commission discuss <br />the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance and provide staff with comments. Because the new law <br />alters the City's level of zoning authority and the structures have the potential to change the character of the <br />area, staff recommends opting out of the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance. <br />The Planning Commission agreed that these structures, if allowed in all zoning districts, would change the <br />character of many neighborhoods. They believed the 15 day review period was too short to ensure these <br />structures were reviewed adequately. They stated that a healthcare issue will probably not be resolved in a 6-12 <br />month period, which is the expiration of a permit. The Planning Commission believed that the City can <br />accommodate residents on a case by case basis and accomplish the law's intent through ordinances the City <br />already has performance standards for. <br />Commissioner McRoberts made a motion, Commissioner Rosenquist seconded, to recommend opting out of the <br />temporary family healthcare dwelling ordinance with a provision that the Planning Commission review the <br />current ordinances that are similar to the intent of the temporary family healthcare dwelling ordinance and make <br />revisions, if necessary. <br />All Ayes, motion carried. <br />
