"Zoning".
May 12, 1983 Staff Report presented.
Two Ordinances were considered. One Ordinance limited units to a specific area.
The other was City-wide in scope.
Speaking on the Ordinances
Doris Agee
819 Ridge Court
Mrs. Agee suggested that a provision be placed in the Ordinance to indicate that
such units would be permitted only if not prohibited by governing homeowners
associations. Vice-Chairman Getz stated that it was his opinion that such a
prohibition was not legally possible. Assistant City Attorney Katz concurred
with Vice-Chairman Getz.
A discussion ensued on the merits of limiting second units to the downtown area
as recommended by Staff or allowing second units City-wide. Chairman Hoyer com-
mented that he felt it was totally unrealistic to require a third parking space
for the second units. It was the concensus of the. Commission that the addi-
tional off-street parking space should be required.
Motion-~1antegani/Second Martin: To adopt a Resolution recommending that the
City Council adopt the Ordinance which limits second units to the downtown area
of the Ci ty based on findi ngs contai ned in the Staff Report. AYES:
Commissioners Bertucelli, Grimes, Mantegani and Martin. NOES: Chairman Hoyer,
