Number of Occupants
Bronwyn's Council Preview |
The City Council meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. this Tuesday at city hall. The agenda includes (but is not limited to):
-
42. First passage of ordinance to allow properties to increase the number of occupants by completing the Code requirements to make a room with a legally existing egress window a Code-compliant bedroom.
At a recent meeting, we addressed a request from one property owner in a capped neighborhood that had been in the process of renovating a home but had been unable to complete the desired changes before our moratorium on the addition of bedrooms went into place. The proposed solution (allowing the addition of a bedroom if an egress window is already present) allows this property owner to move forward, but shouldn't otherwise significantly change the number of occupants in the area.
Non-Agenda Packet: The following items are requests and communications to the council that are not on the agenda. This includes staff reports and communications/request from constituents/developers. By tradition the council can ask city staff for more information (a report), put the item on a future agenda for discussion or just accept the communication (taking no further action). This usually takes place at the end of the meeting during council comments.
