Ordinance 6487
ITEM 6.A.
Council Action: 3/14/2022
Description

Ordinance to amend Chapter 17.01 "Housing Definitions" of the 2020 Municipal Code, by amending Section 17.01.010 "Definitions-Housing" to include Temporary Housing.
Background/Discussion

Temporary housing that has become more “permanent” in nature has created a challenge for the City to maintain the integrity of the building code and keep residents safe from housing that can create risk of injury and death. The addition of this language will allow the City to have more oversight on types of temporary housing within the community and allow for administration to keep temporary housing from becoming “permanent” in nature. 
Recommendation

The City Legal Department recommends passage of this Ordinance.
