Proposed Minutes Page 2 of 4 Regular Meeting of October 27, 2015
Community Development Director Juetten reported on a proposed text amendment ordinance to
clarify what types of vehicles may make deliveries in conjunction with a home occupation and
an ordinance concerning rental licensing. The proposed changes will provide additional
enforcement mechanisms that will assist in keeping rental occupants and dwellings seamless
members of residential neighborhoods and add off -property infractions. In addition, the
amendment: 1) ties the rental license ordinance to the home occupation ordinance; 2) prohibits
renters that use a rental dwelling for a home occupation from having customers come to a
property; and 3) restricts deliveries to a home occupation to vehicles under 20,000 Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). Below are other points mentioned by staff:
Ordinances are enforced on a complaint basis. Staff requests assistance in documenting
violations in an attempt to build a case
A photo taken with a date and time stamp would be sufficient evidence for a citation, if
there is a violation of the City Code
Considerable amount of discussion was held regarding the parking restrictions, difference in
treatment between renters and homeowners, changing behaviors of renters, managing the
expectations of zoning in a neighborhood, limiting deliveries to properties, and property owners
rights.
Motion was made by Councilmember Beard to deny item No. 8.01 and adopt documents relating
to item No. 8.02 with suggested corrections to the language. This motion failed for lack of a
second.
Motion was made by Councilmember Carroll and seconded by Councilmember Prom to table

the motion carried.

amendment to add the July 26th meeting. With Prom, Willis, Johnson, and Carroll voting yes,
