With the BRT no longer included in the 2050 Met Council imagine 2050 transportation policy plan, we wanted to reassess from a market basis standpoint what ultimately this land use should be considered for as we look towards preparing our 2050 comprehensive plan.

The purpose of the study really was to provide a vision for what could the market support out here and how can we help that information align with future comp plan decisions.

I mean, one of the things that we do as a city is we constantly adjust and um you know, I was on the planning commission when we did the last comp plan and you know, you have to make the decisions based on you know, what other units of government say and um you know that the red line is is not coming down this way anymore and you respond to market conditions, but I'm I'm really appreciate the city staff for being like proactive and of this ahead of as we head into the next comp plan on um kind of this largest area of our city that is is undeveloped and and you know making the best plans with um you know both what we want to see as the city and develop but also like what will the market bear so I appreciate all the work that you put into this

I'm curious since this does abut Farmington um did we look at Farmington's planning or what they're considering with their future comp plan as well to kind of think about how this all meshes up with what they're doing there.

I appreciate your comment on commercial because we have very limited commercial uh areas left and so developing commercial zones I think is very important for uh fiscal concerns for the city. So I'd probably want to see more commercial if possible.

So with that, we need to remove renting of rooms within the zoning ordinance within all of those sections between, you know, the R1 all the way through. um to take that out so that we have one sole spot for reference for short-term rentals within the city code.

For your benefit, the short-term rental ordinance is more robust. It will require a annual permit and a renewal. It does that ordinance does include occupancy standards, parking requirements, and enforcement language. And it also sets a maximum of two short-term rental permits per person or entity.

I think for for the public and for those that might be interested providing short-term rentals at their property. It's great that we have everything in a centralized location. So, you don't read something here and then you miss something in another chapter and, you know, you don't have all the the complete information.

I'll also point out that these don't go into effect until city council actually acts on it. So we're not removing regulation before a new regulation comes into place and does that. We're just making our advisory opinion on that to city council.
