Second Reading of Ordinance No.18-1009, Development Code Amendments Including Equitable Housing (Planning File LEG 18-00001)
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
City Commission approve the second reading of Ordinance No. 18-1009, amending the Oregon City Municipal Code, associated findings for the same, and continue file LEG-18-00001, including building heights and permanent food carts in the MUD district, short-term rentals, shelters and any needed corrections and clarifications of the proposed code to September 4, 2019.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has prepared a final packet of draft code amendments that reflects the City Commission directions to date. If approved, the amendments would become effective August 2, 2019.
The issues of height limits and permanent food carts within the Mixed Use Downtown (MUD) zone, Shelters and Short Term Rentals are separated from the bulk of the amendments. Staff anticipates that the code amendments related to maximum height limitations and permanent food carts in MUD and regulations pertaining to shelters will be resolved later this summer and adopted by separate ordinance, in addition to any necessary code clarifications or corrections of errors in the code proposed to be adopted. Development of a short term rental policy will require a separate, longer public process and is anticipated to be completed last. The City Commission will discuss these issues in Work Sessions prior to the next hearing date related to these items on September 4, 2019.
A separate Resolution will be presented to the City Commission for consideration to amend the Planning Division fee schedule to clearly implement processes identified in the draft amendments as well as amend some existing fees. The draft changes will be presented to the Commission at a Work Session in July and are anticipated to be effective on the date the proposed amendments to the Oregon City Municipal Code are also effective.
