hearing process as the license does have some effect on land use (albeit temporarily). Additionally, the opt -out <br />ordinance previously adopted by Council would need to be rescinded. <br />Gundlach reported in order for the ordinance to take effect, the Council will need to adopt it following a <br />Commission hearing and recommendation. After Council adoption, the ordinance would need to be published in <br />the official City newspaper. If the Commission moves the ordinance forward for public hearing on March 21 st, <br />the Council would consider on March 28th, and a publication would occur on April 5th. <br />Chairperson Nichols-Matkaiti commented on the accessibility issues within the Ordinance. <br />Commissioner Deick believed that homeowners may have to be creative in order to create a proper ramp into <br />the temporary dwelling unit in order to be accessible for wheelchairs. Gundlach explained the accessibility <br />requirements would only apply if the occupant required a wheelchair. She commented further on the <br />inspections that would have to, occur on the units. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding accessibility issues. <br />Commissioner Danger thought it would benefit the temporary dwelling unit vendors to have several models <br />available to accommodate the needs of its users. Gundlach recommended the State building requirements be <br />stricken from the Ordinance. <br />Commissioner Deick recommended the City not get so specific on the requirements but rather let the <br />contractors determine how the units should be built in order to meet the needs of their clients. Gundlach <br />explained the City would not be licensing certain manufacturers as was the recommendation of the City <br />Attorney. <br />Commissioner Miwa questioned if the Ordinance could be amended in the future based on the needs that may <br />arise. Gundlach discussed the City's Ordinance amendment procedure. <br />Commissioner Miwa suggested Item 5 be removed from the Ordinance. <br />Commissioner Danger agreed and stated there would be a learning process for these units for both the City and <br />the manufacturers. <br />Councilmember Strub commented on the license term and recommended this language be further addressed. <br />Chairperson Nichol s-Matkaiti described how the Commission developed the proposed language in order to <br />create some sort of separation between requests. She then noted several typographical errors that would need <br />correction by staff. <br />Commissioner Frischman asked how the City would ensure the health care units were temporary. Gundlach <br />stated an agreement would have to be in place to address the unit removal. She explained she would be <br />working with the City Attorney on this agreement and noted a financial guarantee would be required. <br />Commissioner Frischman suggested the burden of the removal be placed on the contractor or vendor and not be <br />the responsibility of the City. <br />W <br />
