Page 3 <br />The City also allows accessory dwelling units in the Long Term Agricultural, Agricultural, Rural <br />Residential, and Future Urban Service zoning districts via a building permit. The purpose and <br />intent of the ordinance is to provide supplemental, but separate living quarters to the primary <br />residence. The supplemental living quarters are intended to provide separate living space with <br />separate cooking and plumbing facilities for an individual that is receiving care from or <br />providing care or service to residents living in the primary residence. A housekeeper, nanny, <br />elderly relative, care provider, guests or employee of a home occupation or farm are examples of <br />individuals that may reside in the accessory dwelling unit. The ordinance is not intended to <br />provide a second dwelling unit on the property for a second family or for rental purposes. <br />S. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION: <br />The law goes into effect September 1, 2016 and automatically applies to all cities that do not opt <br />out or don't already allow temporary family health care dwellings as a permitted use under their <br />local ordinances. <br />Staff recommends that the Planning Commission open the public hearing for resident comments <br />and provide a recommendation to the Council. Because the new law alters the City's level of <br />zoning authority and the structures have the potential to change the character of the area, staff <br />recommends opting out of the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance. <br />Attachments: <br />1.
