<br /> <br />Page 14 of 16 <br />Commissioner Safdari stated that he is not ready to move forward with it <br />as written, but if they can make changes he would be in favor of moving <br />forward. <br /> <br />Commissioner White stated he agrees with Commissioner Safdari. He <br />stated there was a good discussion around the ADUs and he would be <br />comfortable treating ADUs as another bedroom. He stated <br />recommending that to the City Council. He stated he would support an <br />annual report to review the data on the issue. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hale stated she does not believe the commission is <br />setting policy. She stated one of their options is to recommend changes. <br />She stated that, regarding the 120-day rule, they do not have the data <br />to make that decision. If that goes to the council, they will potentially <br />land in the same place. She stated she wants to ensure they codify their <br />discussion on things they agree on to ensure that they adequately <br />communicate their feelings to the City Council. <br /> <br />Commissioner Safdari recommended they make ADU’s not restricted. <br /> <br />There were no objections to this proposed change. <br /> <br />Commissioner Safdari proposed setting a year limit on these regulations <br />and reviewing them with data at that time. <br /> <br />Mr. Rasiah provided some legal information regarding the implications <br />of such a decision. He stated that ordinances and laws can have <br />sunsetting provisions. He stated they would be creating permitted uses <br />and then that permission would be going away. He stated that could get <br />complicated to manage. He stated that reporting this would not need to <br />be a part of the ordinance, it would just be an agreed upon process for <br />Staff to follow. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hale stated it would call into question the validity of a law <br />if they had it end after a year. She stated it is important that they review <br />it after a year, so how would they go about ensuring it comes back for <br />review. <br /> <br />Mr. Aknin stated that they have several different topics and issues they <br />review annually, so it would be added to that calendar. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hale asked for more detail in the logistics of how topics <br />come back for review. <br /> <br />Mr. Aknin explained how they would go about ensuring the topic come <br />back for review. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hale proposed that the ordinance be put into effect <br />without sunsetting and come back after a year for review. <br /> <br />Commissioner Safdari agreed with not sunsetting. He asked if there will <br />be a discussion and vote after a year. <br /> <br />7.B. - Page 36
