Potential Alternatives to Address the Symptoms of Residential Over-Occupancy Sponsor:Alyssa Halle-Schramm, Planner Reviewed By CBC:City Council Agenda Caption:Presentation, discussion, and possible action of potential alternatives to address the symptoms of residential over-occupancy. Relationship to Strategic Goals: Neighborhood Integrity Good Governance Recommendation(s): Staff recommends that the Council provide direction as appropriate. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard this item at their January 7th meeting on the informational agenda. The Council heard this item at their January 14th meeting on the workshop agenda and requested continued discussion at the next City Council meeting. Summary: City Council requested that City staff draft a Restricted Occupancy Overlay ordinance and associated handbook that would allow area property owners to request an overlay zoning restricting occupancy to no more than two unrelated persons in their neighborhood. Successful prosecution of those who have violated the city-wide “no more than four unrelated” ordinance has been largely due to admittance of guilt. Due to the issues that prevail when attempting to enforce by relationship status, staff presented alternative options for addressing the symptoms of overoccupancy at both the Planning & Zoning Commission January 7th meeting and the City Council January 14th workshop. City Council requested this item be brought back for further discussion at the following City Council meeting. Along with this discussion, staff will also provide an update on the draft Restricted Occupancy Overlay ordinance public input process and timeline.
