Council adopts staff recommendations to align rental license policy and ordinance
Summary
Council approved staff-recommended changes to the rental-license approach: certificates valid for three years, removal of certain application/fee verbiage, and removal of maximum-density language; staff will finalize wording before a March 16 workshop.
City staff (Christie) led a discussion about whether rental regulation should be implemented by ordinance or policy and presented specific recommended changes to align documents. The staff recommendations the council adopted were to make certificates valid for three years, remove application-fee verbiage, and remove maximum-density language.
Speaker Christie confirmed the staff changes and the council moved to adopt them; the motion passed on a 4-0 vote. Staff said they had circulated questions in advance and will bring finalized wording to a workshop scheduled for March 16 so the council can review the aligned ordinance and policy language.
