Item 2 · Zoning
Rezone of 1262 West 2200 South to Commercial, Ordinance 22-03
Approved · 5-0
The council rezoned about 11 acres on three parcels from RC to Commercial in the Woodruff Neighborhood. Staff recommended approval as consistent with the 2008 future land use plan and the Planning Commission voted 5-0 for it on January 13. No project is pending. John Shivik asked why the change was proposed; Holley said RC can serve as a holding zone for annexed land.
- Current zone to proposed: RC to Commercial
- Acres: about 11.1 to 11.6 (minutes give both)
Item 3 · Taxes and fees
Parks and Recreation fee increases, Resolution 22-04 (public hearing)
Approved · 5-0
The council approved fee increases; pool group reservations double from $600 to $1,200 starting in 2023, and other fees rise April 1, 2022. Director Russ Akina said the department's $600,000 budget is not covered by fees and hiring is difficult. Gail Yost and John Shivik asked about low-income youth access; Akina cited free staffed summer camps. Council Member Jensen called the increases modest except for pool events.
Item 4 · Taxes and fees
Parking violation penalties, Resolution 22-05 (public hearing)
Approved · 5-0
The council raised the parking citation from $25 to $35 and the late fee from $45 to $55, effective when new parking software is available. About 300 citations are unpaid. Keegan Garrity asked the council to reconsider winter overnight parking rules; Amy Anderson said it would be revisited in spring or summer. Chair Simmonds said she believed the late fee should be higher but would abide by the council's decision.

Item 6 · City code
Short-term rentals, Ordinance 22-04 (workshop)
Discussed
Community Development Director Mike DeSimone presented land development code amendments on short-term rentals. Staff proposed allowing them in MR-20, MR-30, CR and most commercial zones and barring them in single-family and industrial zones; the Planning Commission voted 5-0 on January 27 to allow them in all zones subject to operating standards, including a three-person limit in residential units, two parking stalls and a local contact within one hour. Amy Anderson was hesitant about the occupancy wording, Simmonds raised density and renewals, and Jensen raised absentee landlords and enforcement. Action was set for March 1.
Item 7 · City code
RV parks and self-storage, Ordinance 22-05 (workshop)
Discussed
DeSimone proposed removing RV parks and commercial self-storage from the commercial services and industrial zones, making impound lots conditional and adding RV park standards (a 3-acre minimum, 20 spaces an acre, 25-foot setbacks and 30-day stays, with up to 20 percent of spaces allowed 180 days). Staff noted about 38 percent of industrial park land is vacant. The Planning Commission recommended approval 5-0 on January 27. Action was set for March 1.
