Discussion on Temporary Health Care Dwellings Community Development Assistant Rachel Leitz provided information to Council on a new law that created a process for landowners to place a temporary residential dwelling on their property to serve as a family health care dwelling. This bill was signed by Governor Dayton on May 12, 2016, and will go into effect September 1, 2016. This would automatically apply to all cities that do not opt out or do not already allow temporary family health care dwellings as a permitted use under their local ordinances. Because the new law alters the City's level of zoning authority and the structures have the potential to change the character of the area, staff recommended opting out of the temporary family health care dwelling ordinance. The Planning Commission had considered this at their July 14, 2016 meeting and recommended to Council to opt out of the ordinance.
