In their meeting of June 13, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended approval (4-0 vote) of the Zoning Ordinance Update per Staff recommendation and with the added condition that Type 2 and Type 3 Specific Use Permits be valid for one year. Three people spoke in opposition to the changes citing concerns about property values, traffic, noise increase, and HOA enforcement of covenants restricting these uses.
While staff agrees with the Planning Commission that a time limit should be imposed on all Bed & Breakfast Specific Use Permits, staff believes that a 5-year maximum time limit would be better studied for the situation than a 1 year. The reason for this is because staff believes that the cost of reapplying each year (approximately $1,000 with all costs) would be expensive to the applicants and create a deterrence from becoming compliant with the ordinance.
The preview ordinance for the proposed changes was approved by the City Council in their meeting of August 6, 2019. Council requests to review this ordinance after one year after the date the ordinance is effective.
