Planning Commission

Kevin Rudd stated that staff has made all the requested changes. He added Section 16.07.805 to explain the project plan must accompany any application and to spell that out. Dale Coulam inquired if there will always be a development agreement. Kevin Rudd stated that the SEO may require a development agreement. Some of the main points of this draft is that there are no less than 5 acres; they must have a property manager on-site or off-site within 20 minutes; a sign outside the development with the manager's name and number; all amenities need to be within the interior of the project; landscaped open space may also be used; City Council can approve less than the entire project; RV Parking to be in the interior of the project; and no parking overflow out into the public streets; garbage bins, with collection bins being optional; there would be a colored masonry wall surrounding the project unless deemed otherwise by Council. Chairman Jeff Loris inquired about the wording of geographic reason and using another word like formation or element. Dale Coulam stated that it would be okay to keep it the way it is. Kevin Rudd stated that short-term rentals will be clearly marked on the plat so people know what they are buying. The entire project must be landscaped. The development agreement will spell things out further if necessary. The zoning will show where all short-term properties have been approved. On-street parking is to be within the project. Tandem parking in driveways is allowed in these self-contained projects. The project will contain recreational developments inside the project. An example is a 200 sq ft minimum on a 10 acre parcel would be about 1 lot for nearly 50 homes, which is consistent with the size of these projects. Commissioner Adel Murphy stated that developers will want to put amenities in without the City telling them. It's just good business sense. Eric McFadden confirmed that 200 square foot minimum is pretty standard. Kevin Rudd stated that standard requirements shall meet the requirements of the base zoning district. Single family zones are single story 25 foot maximum height although someone can apply for a special exception regarding height if circumstances require. Then it's up to City Council. An annual business license for each property owner wanting to do short-term rentals will be required. Commissioner Lance Anderson stated that the manager should handle one license. Commissioner Adel Murphy stated that each one individually should be licensed. Dale Coulam stated that if it's only on the manager, then everyone could lose their license because of one person who violates the ordinance. Commissioner Bryan Pack stated he is in favor of every owner being in charge of their own business, not the property manager. Dale Coulam stated that the manager is merely the agent for each property owner. He likes it the way it is written. Kevin Rudd stated that the short-term rental enhancement overlay density bonus states that multi-family refers to Chapter 18 to determine the density bonus. Kevin Rudd stated that the lot standards gives Council the authority to massage the setbacks. SEOs we've approved like Cliffrose and Desert Rose have reduced setbacks from their zones. Dale Coulam stated that City Council will be considering the Land Use Plan. He suggested the Commission set their meeting for Public Hearing for August 4th. Kevin Rudd proposed that we also clean up our use chart for setbacks in the RE-17.5 zone.
