Summary

Planning staff told the commission the short-term rental workshop and review of shipping-container homes are on hold pending further direction; staff will consult with planner Tyler and bring items back if the commission requests additional workshops.

Planning staff reported two ongoing workstreams are temporarily suspended. The short-term rental workshop is on hold, and additional work on shipping-container homes is paused while staff consults with Planner Tyler about next steps.

Planner Jamie said the commission could request a workshop to resume either subject; she noted that a shipping-container prototype the staff visited looked promising as an affordable-housing option but that guidelines and building-code conformity still need more work and direction from staff.

No action was taken; staff will report back when they have guidance from Tyler or when the commission requests a new workshop.
