City Council - Regular Meeting

I just had, Neal, I don't know if you can answer this on the Condi contract. I think there was like a, I was a little confused, and maybe you can just explain the $75,000 bonus for the road construction process, whether or not they hit all the requirements to qualify for that. I wasn't clear on whether that was being paid or not.

I make the motion that we approve the consent agenda items.

I do, okay? As a mother-in-law, I think that's very personal. I have to say that because my mother-in-law does live there.

It just seems like really specific to have one. Yes. I'm just wondering what the history is.

So this is happening in cities across the state?

Okay, and this is detached dwellings only?

No. No, another stupid mandate from Senate, the developers, yeah, they're out of control.

But this sounds like it makes it better, though, for parking.

It lowers the requirement, because I think there's only one instead of two.

If you're trying to stay in your home with an ADU, yeah, I do. I mean, I like that. It loosens the grip from the state.

It allows, in my opinion, it allows developers to build more external accessory apartments, dwellings.

Yeah, but you're gonna have to have a pretty big lot. You mean residentially?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mayor, I'll make a motion.

Mayor, I'll make a motion to approve ordinance 2026-030 for the code text amendment to amend section 10-15-47, accessory apartments to revise the parking requirements for accessory apartments. Actually, hold on. I want to change this motion.

Can I make changes to this motion, Tina?

I want it for, what's the right word? The exterior or the ex? Detached. Detached. I mean, I don't want this to be for all accessory apartments.

But then is that gonna change it for attached too? Well, then let's make an ordinance.

So if you have a basement apartment, you're bound by this new ordinance?

Yeah. There's a section in the new ordinance that deals with internal accessory apartments. Then there's a separate section for detached accessory apartments. Yes. But I understand this is just a mandate from the state. We have no discretion.

But wait, this is not affecting attached apartments.

It is. It's affecting attached basement apartments.

So with that motion. It's a little punitive, but I'll have to.

Based upon my words? Public hearing to consider an ordinance. Mayor, I make a motion to approve ordinance 2026-0330 for a code text amendment to amend section 1015-47 as previously read.
