City Council Community Development & Neighborhoods Committee <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & NEIGHBORHOODS COMMITTEE <br />Meeting Minutes <br />August 28, 2017- 5:30 p.m. - Hazelnut Conference Room, City Hall <br />Councilmembers: Kathy Hougardy, Chair, Verna Seal, Kate Kruller <br />Staff: Jack Pace, Mia Navarro, Nora Gierloff, Laurel Humphrey <br />Guests: Pam Carter, resident <br />CALL TO ORDER: Chair Hougardy called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. <br />I. BUSINESS AGENDA <br />A. Community Connectors Program <br />Staff briefed the Committee on the Community Connectors program which aims to improve <br />outreach to residents historically underrepresented in civic processes by contracting with <br />individuals from various groups to act as liaisons between their community and the City. The <br />program began in 2013 and has an annual budget of $32,500. There are currently 8 Connectors, <br />including 2 Hispanic, 2 Somali, 1 Burmese, 1 Ethiopian/Eritrean, 1 senior, and 1 youth. Staff is <br />evaluating the program structure to determine if resources or capacity should be increased to <br />provide more training and a broader reach. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions. <br />Councilmember Seal suggested that the presentation to the Committee of the Whole include <br />information on the 2017-2018 budget and expenditures. Councilmember Kruller stressed the <br />importance of metrics for program evaluation. DISCUSSION ONLY. <br />B. Accessory Dwelling Units Survey Results <br />Earlier this year the Council directed staff to return with policy considerations for updating the <br />Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) zoning standards. As part of this, staff conducted a public <br />outreach campaign that included a survey. Of 165 responses, a majority supported making <br />changes. Staff is seeking Council direction on next steps. Policy options to consider include <br />allowing detached ADUs, reducing the lot area requirement from 7,200 sf, increasing the <br />attached ADU size limit, removing owner occupancy requirement, reducing parking, and <br />prohibiting or allowing short term rentals. Councilmember Kruller asked for additional <br />information on what similarly sized cities are doing, including their implementation plan, fee <br />structure, and enforcement. The Committee requested that the full Council receive this <br />presentation and discuss policy options prior to Planning Commission review. Staff will work to <br />find an appropriate date. Chair Hougardy stated that the Council should study the background <br />materials in order to have a productive discussion. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO <br />AUGUST 28, 2017 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. <br />
