Based on the context provided and the internal cues within the transcript (such as the roll call and introductions), here is the formatted transcript with speaker names assigned. **Note on Planning Commission Members:** While the City Council list was provided, this specific meeting is a **Planning Commission** meeting. The names of the commissioners were identified via the roll call taken at [1:14] and [35:55]. *** [0:18] **Chair Tinsley:** Hello. [0:48] **Chair Tinsley:** Good evening. I'd like to call the February 5th, 2026 Planning Commission meeting to order. If you could all rise and pledge of allegiance. [1:14] **Chair Tinsley:** Thank you so much. First item on the agenda. Ericson, would you please take the roll? **Ericson (Staff):** Ensley? **Chair Tinsley:** Here. **Ericson:** Traficante? **Commissioner Traficante:** Here. **Ericson:** Kuza? **Commissioner Kuza:** Here. **Ericson:** Zimmer? **Commissioner Zimmer:** Here. **Ericson:** Ike? **Commissioner Ike:** Here. **Ericson:** Sweeny? **Commissioner Sweeny:** Here. **Ericson:** Swenson? **Commissioner Swenson:** Here. [1:29] **Chair Tinsley:** Very good. Next item on the agenda is the approval of the minutes. Does anyone have any changes to the January 15th planning commission meeting minutes? As always, good staff work. We will let it stand as it is. Uh, do we have any announcements tonight? Um, from Miss Goodroad. [1:48] **Tina Goodroad (Community Development Director):** Thank you. Um, the only announcement is the next planning commission meeting is scheduled for March 5th, 2026. The February 19th meeting has been cancelled. **Chair Tinsley:** Thank you very much. Uh, next item on the agenda is for the City of Lakeville and it is Cedar Avenue land use and market analysis and we will have Miss Goodroad come up and uh get us started. [2:15] **Tina Goodroad:** Thank you chair, members of the commission. Um, community development staff—can't talk today—has been working with a consulting group TKDA to evaluate land uses along the Cedar Avenue corridor between 185th and 200th. In the 2040 comprehensive plan, this area was identified for um potential BRT from Apple Valley to extend into Lakeville. And with that, um, land use was intensified quite a bit. [2:41] **Tina Goodroad:** So, if you look at the land use plan, there's special area or station areas that were called out um and just a lot of intense development um from a mixed-use standpoint, commercial standpoint, as well as higher density residential. 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. So a market study was done as part of this project and land use analysis. We also met with several of the larger property owners within the area who did concur with their proposed land use. We are not proposing making any changes now. We will incorporate these findings into the land use and comprehensive plan work that we're going to be kicking off very soon this year. No action is required of the commission tonight, but we would like to take your input if you have any questions as well as input. And again, we will include this analysis as we work towards our 2050 update for the next year and a half. I'd like to invite Samantha Kennedy McKinney from TKDA. [4:00] **Tina Goodroad:** She will go through a presentation and the study was included in the packet as well. [4:12] **Chair Tinsley:** Hi, good evening. Thank you for coming and just announce your name for the record. [4:12] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney (TKDA):** Yeah, thank you. Samantha McKinney with TKDA. Uh, thank you for having me tonight. We're excited to present all of the hard work that we've been working over the last few months. So, we got a brief agenda here for the presentation. I want to quickly go over the study purpose and our process of how we've came to our findings, review some existing conditions that we discovered in the project area, talk about the final concept, and then have any questions you may have. [4:46] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So 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. So in order to achieve that we started with a market analysis. This is one data point. It's not the findings of the entire concept but it gives us a little bit more insight into if we were to ignore all regulatory things that need to happen—which is obviously your job to make sure you implement—what could happen out there. What is the market telling us about how could we develop this as robust or as quickly as possible. We looked at the existing policies. So we did not ignore your job in this whole process and then combined them all together, worked with the city staff quite a bit, talked to the property owners and then developed the small area plan in that process. [5:32] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So I want to briefly touch on some of the existing conditions that we discovered because the site says a lot about what we can and cannot do out here, right? So there's physical barriers, there's also opportunities that it can provide in that process as well. Starting with transportation and infrastructure, this map shows what the existing conditions look like out there. So as you know, Cedar Avenue is a county-owned roadway that has the highest level of traffic. There are some minor crashes along there, but nothing super concerning from a traffic analysis standpoint. Uh, there are some east-west connections, but they're relatively limited. So, you can see in the center of the site there, there's a thoroughfare, but it ends on the edge there. And then at the southern boundary, 200th as well. Those have lower ADT, so lower traffic volume. You'll note a dashed line at the top for 185th Street. That is a county roadway as well. There's a long-planned county road connection to make a better east-west connection all the way through. Uh, that study has not started with the county, but they are planning to pursue that further. It's worth noting that study has been on the books since 2006. So we don't know exactly what's going to come out of that, but we do know that the county desires to have a stronger east-west connection on the north end of the property boundaries through here. Utilities are limited through the area. [6:51] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** But we do know through all of the previous efforts that city staff has done to identify how to develop through here that the utilities will need to stub in from the southeast connection of the project area as well. Looking at the environmental context, this tells us a lot about how we could develop maybe a little bit more thoughtfully and how we could use the site to develop in a way that meets the city's long-term goals as well. Uh, there's some rolling topography out here. So you can see the topography map on there and the contours. The blue lines show existing waterways or green corridors. So, they're not necessarily like formal creeks, but they're low-lying areas that exist there today. [7:31] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** And ideally, we can use these to our advantage when developing and not have to completely ruin all of the, you know, the flow that's happening through there as well. So, one of the goals that we developed in the process was to make sure that we saw these as assets in the plans and that we recognized them for being important in development and that we respect them as they are. [7:54] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** We also took a look at the development context. So, you know, all around the project area, there have been recent developments that have occurred. Um, I'll point out a couple of them. On the north end of the site is Voyager Farms and Glacier Creek. Those have single family and detached town homes. On the very southeast corner, within the project boundary, is Amelia Meadows that has some single family. Uh, there's town homes that are sort of on the southern boundary and then a small single family extension on the west side as well. So there's all this pressure kind of happening around our project area, kind of encroaching into it, but nothing has formally happened other than Amelia Meadows inside of it today. [8:36] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So the market study—this is important to know for context that this is again just a data point for us. Uh, the market study explores what could happen out here if we were to just let the market take over. So we use that information just to help inform our decisions. It helped guide some of the densities and the placement of the developments. It also gave us an insight to some of the challenges for development out here as well. [9:00] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So to do that, um, we want to make sure that it provided a basis solely on the economic and market conditions and then we applied it to the city policies and made a path forward. So again that provides guidance for us. It does not provide the firm direction only because there are policies that we want to make sure we align the plan with the city vision as well. [9:21] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So I've got some high-level overview here. In the report there is the full analysis. So if you wanted to really get into the weeds about what this says, that is an appendix that's included in there. Um, but the purpose like I said is to provide guidance to the larger planning efforts. How we did this was that he did some site analysis, looked at the same conditions we were looking at, did some demographic and economic analysis, reviewed the competitive market, and then looked at some forecasting and came up with a summary of recommendations. [9:50] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So, uh with that, the considered uses from the market study for development included single family homes, town homes and twin homes, multi-family apartments, restaurants and retail space, and then other commercial land uses. Uh, from the site analysis perspective, it's important to identify the strengths and weaknesses, right? So from a strength perspective, there's large parcels out here. That's really great for development. That makes it more enticing for developers to come in because they can, you know, package something together. Cedar Avenue is a really great northwest connection, drawing people from Apple Valley and central Twin Cities area. New housing growth has been really strong in the community. So there's a lot of demand in the city of Lakeville, as you are all intimately aware of. Uh, there's also some strong retail districts north of the project area as well that can help be a draw for certain types of land uses and the employment districts to the south; some of the industrial area can be really great too for helping draw people into the space and it also is a high daytime employment which is great. [11:22] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** Um, some of the weaknesses: so in the short term there are no strong east-west thoroughfares and that's really challenging for development for capturing for specific types of uses. So commercial development likes to have strong connections from other places and so without that strong east-west connection yet built with 185th street, it's difficult to capture people to this area specifically from like Farmington to your east. Uh, there are some connections that need to be built out in order to do that. There is also a pretty strong retail presence just north of the project area and that is capturing a lot of the commercial demand in the area right now. Over the long term, the large industrial district and airport to the south may create a physical barrier as well. Sometimes that can limit what can develop in the project area. [11:38] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So all of this information got distilled into this table which gave us recommendations for how this could develop based off of existing demands and existing conditions. So this is for the next from now until 2040 what could happen out here. It is worth noting that none of these scenarios anticipate a full buildout of all of the parcels based off of the existing demand today. Now, that being said, markets change very quickly. What is existing today in five to 10 years could very well change. So, this is the snapshot of what we know right now. Um, and with that, these are the recommendations that our market analysis came up with for how to look at land use through here. [12:25] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So single family homes and detached town homes were grouped together at about three units per acre. And you can see what the anticipated capacity would be for buildout there. Uh, along with attached town homes and twin homes at six units per acre, apartments about roughly 25 units per acre, restaurants and retail at 10,000 and office and medical at 10,000 square feet as well. You'll note that restaurant, retail, office and medical show very small acreages. So from now to 2030 for restaurants: one to one and a half acres. That's pretty small, right? Uh, five acres maybe in the long run. So if that's a desire to include in this area, there's some things that would likely need to happen from some of these connections in order to help make that more desirable. [13:13] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So from here, uh, there were some recommendations that were made about how to apply this to the land use plan. And so overall residential is really well situated here. If you kind of zoom out from the project area, there's a lot of single family and town homes developing all around this. It's likely that you'd anticipate that happening in this as well. Several new rental property projects have been built in Lakeville as well and so there's an increase of overall supply, but absorption has been strong too which is really great. Restaurant and retail based on the traffic counts and site characteristics: retail would work well at all the parcels immediately adjacent to Cedar Avenue. So access is important for those developments and so that should be taken into consideration. Um, but without the overall east-west connection to help drive people there, it's going to be relatively limited today. And then the office medical and industrial is slow, but we do know that there have been recent developments in Lakeville, so there is a demand out here. Um, so we're not anticipating a lot of it, but that is something that could still be viable out here. [14:18] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So with all that, um, there were some again some more guidance provided and so we want to focus development on single family and residential projects closer but not immediately adjacent to the Cedar Avenue project. So, let's let the areas closest to Cedar that are going to be prime for those types of uses be called out for those. We want to cluster high density development and town homes near major intersections. And then as housing affordability continues to drive household decisions, provide flexibility to pivot the dense housing options. So that includes considering both for-sale properties and also rental properties. [14:49] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** Uh, we want to set aside parcels immediately adjacent to major intersections for retail development like I said and then carefully consider the impacts of the planned 185th extension too. So knowing that is a planned connection, there's some opportunity here. We're talking about long-range planning; plan for that as well. So we know what the existing constraints are but we can also use some of these new opportunities to help guide some of those decisions in that process. [15:17] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So next for this phase, how we look at the city policies and what your land use is telling us and how we can combine it all together. So for the land use designations, we took a look at your 2040 comp plan. We understand that you're about to embark on a new comprehensive plan. So we wanted to provide some flexibility. We didn't want to behold anything strictly to your existing categories knowing that you have a lot of categories. So we tried to align our recommendations based off of the densities that were outlined in the market analysis but then reference them to your comprehensive plan. So you can see that the low to medium density we have about four to five dwellings per acre. Medium to high density about 5 to 9. Quarter mixed use is currently 26 to 45. [16:00] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** And then we have some anticipated uses. So the recommendations we're showing is really intended on uses and trying not to tie them to categories knowing that you're about to make a major change—at least an update—to your comprehensive plan. So all that, these were the uses that we used and the recommendations for the land use part of this and so single family homes and detached town homes we did about three units per acre, attached town homes and twin homes at six, apartments at 25. And then we didn't give a density requirement for restaurant and retail and office and medical knowing that the absorption is considered to be on the lower side in the immediate future. But we did want to address that there's opportunities to include that and we lumped those together when looking at our final plan. [16:45] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** The exciting part: what does this all look like? In order to get here, we did all this data collection. We worked with city staff, did a lot of analysis about what this all means, made some adjustments. And then we had a design charrette. So, we had staff from different departments. Parks was there, we had engineering, planning. Um, and we played with the densities and tried to figure out how do we want to align these things to fit with all the long-term city goals. And so we came up with a lot of different concepts. We actually broke out into two small groups and were pretty surprised at how aligned both of them were. And then from there we made a concept and then presented them to the major property owners. [17:27] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** As part of that process during the design charrette, we wanted to create a design framework and this is really to send a signal to developers about the long-term goals of the city and how we can make sure that there's flexibility that happens with these to capture the really key important parts. And so, one of the primary things that came out was to balance community needs. We didn't want to focus all of one intense use in one location. This is a really large area and so we wanted to balance it throughout the project area. Enhance multimodal connectivity. Develop strong east-west connections. Provide flexibility in land use. Embrace and protect those green space corridors—those low-lying areas. Develop complete neighborhoods. So the idea that, again, we're not focusing all of the intense use in one spot. And then support the Envision Lakeville and economic development strategic plan as well. [18:14] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** On the right you can see what is the final plan here. I'll start from the transportation network. So, you can see Cedar Avenue there. Everything that is a solid line is an existing roadway. Everything that is dashed is one that we're looking to make a connection. Dakota County limits access to Cedar Avenue every half mile. So, we know we can get another crossing about halfway through. So you can see the existing one and then the second one added there. And then um we wanted to connect into the existing developments as well. So we want a well-connected community and use those into those existing neighborhoods. [18:59] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** You're also going to see the 185th Street connection there. We're hoping that continues all the way down and that we can see that through to help support some different types of development out here. From a land use perspective, the red represents higher density—I'm sorry, commercial uses. The darker orange we're calling apartments. The darker yellow would be attached town homes or twin homes. And then the lighter yellow represents single family. [19:27] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** Um, so at the major intersections, you can see we've tried to spread out the commercial uses. Again, that would include potentially some office space. To the major intersections close to Cedar Avenue, we also placed a pocket at the north end up here as well. So, if there is going to be this extension from 185th Street, we want to take advantage of that and preserve some space for some of that commercial use and hopefully we can capture some of that commercial demand that's happening north of here up in that area as well. Uh, we tried to balance it both on the east and west side of Cedar Avenue as well. The higher density apartments are throughout at higher intersections as well. So, you can see those supported with the commercial uses. Those are great neighboring uses to those commercial cores rather than like a single family residential place. We have the park at the north here, Grand Prairie Park, too. Um, the apartments and the commercial use, uh, we thought that would be a great support to that space as well. We are calling out basically the rest of the site then to be twin homes, attached twin homes and town homes and single family housing. Again, we're not expecting a total absorption to happen through this entire area, but we did want to provide some guidance of where we think things likely will go. Uh, and then we're also showing those green corridors remaining in place as well. [20:45] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So, the intent behind that is that we would have developments use those as an asset. We preserve the natural drainage that's happening throughout here and let things kind of develop around. We've also identified a few transitional zones. So, you know, we talk about complete neighborhoods; if we wanted to have like a small daycare or something mixed into these spaces, that's a great use next to residential homes. And so, we wanted to provide a little bit of flexibility about how we approach that. And also know that there's a lot of developments where you'll have a pocket of maybe twin homes next to single family and there's some transitions from major roadways down to maybe a little bit more single family spaces. [21:23] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** So, uh, we also wanted to look at how to phase this. Where do we think it's likely going to develop first and what do those buildouts potentially look like? So, you can see on the right a graphic that shows that movement that we know based off of existing utilities is likely going to occur for development. So, this area will likely need to develop first in order to make some critical connections into Amelia Meadows and then it'll probably loop around down below as well. Um, on the left here we've got a few tables that show what the average density is for those spaces stop of the absorption rates as well. So um the first couple are for 4.5 total average net density and then um the final buildout being higher with a little bit more intense use there. [22:11] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** It's a lot of information. I tend to talk really fast. Do you have any questions, commissioners? **Chair Tinsley:** It's open for questions if you'd like to ask Miss McKinney. [22:30] **Commissioner Kuza:** Madam Chair, **Chair Tinsley:** Commissioner Kuza, **Commissioner Kuza:** Just wanted to thank you uh for your work and city staff for their work. 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 what other units of government say. And um, you know, that the red line is not coming down this way anymore and you respond to market conditions. But I'm really appreciate the city staff for being proactive ahead of as we head into the next comp plan on kind of this largest area of our city that is undeveloped and making the best plans with um 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. [23:18] **Commissioner Ike:** Madam chair, **Chair Tinsley:** Yes please, Commissioner. **Commissioner Ike:** Um yes, Miss McKinney, the question I have—I noticed that there are a range from low to high density. Um, is it from your data, is it historically true that high density equals affordability? [23:52] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** Yeah. Uh, thank you chair and commissioners for the question. Um, it's, you know, I'm not a developer, so I'm not writing pro-formas every day. Um, I do know that the rental market's very strong and that can be an opportunity for lower income developments. Um, but it just really depends on funding sources and potential city participation. Um, it can really vary quite a bit, but higher densities tend to make it easier to make the math work. **Commissioner Ike:** Thank you. **Chair Tinsley:** Any other comments? [24:12] **Commissioner Swenson:** Madam Chair, **Chair Tinsley:** Go ahead, Commissioner Swenson. [24:55] **Commissioner Swenson:** Just out of curiosity, um, I know we talked about looking at, you know, Dakota County's transportation plans and our infrastructure plans, those types of things. I'm curious since this does abut Farmington, 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. [24:55] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** Yeah, thank you for the question. So, we did not have a meeting with Farmington to discuss what their long-term plans were, but we did know that the connection to Farmington would likely come from the 185th Street connection. Uh, but we didn't have a separate meeting with them to talk about what their land use intentions were on their side. [25:19] **Chair Tinsley:** Swenson looks like he has a follow-up. **Commissioner Swenson:** I'm on the spot. I don't have a follow-up to that question. I do have a different question if I may. Other question: um just I know this is very early and looking at the potential of where everything can be. I know one of the things we've gotten some feedback on in the past with commercial development in particular was just, I'll say, some of the topographic sighting of them and just making sure that where we're placing some of these commercial zoning districts mesh up with what some of our retail and commercial properties are actually looking for and make sure those conversations happen as we move forward. Again, we're super early here, but just want to make sure that doesn't get missed. [26:04] **Samantha Kennedy McKinney:** Yeah. No, that's a really great point. Uh, we tried to situate them far away from those low draining areas, but we were taking a pretty macro scale at it. Um, but yeah, no, that's a great point. **Commissioner Swenson:** Madam Chair. **Chair Tinsley:** Commissioner, [26:30] **Commissioner Swenson:** As you drive down Cedar Avenue and through that corridor, there are several areas. You'll notice Cedar Avenue is highly elevated above what the adjacent land is right now. And so that's part of why I bring that concern up today. I appreciate your comment on commercial because we have very limited commercial areas left and so developing commercial zones I think is very important for fiscal concerns for the city. So I'd probably want to see more commercial if possible. [26:53] **Chair Tinsley:** Anyone else? Thank you so much. We appreciate your time, Miss McKinney. Thank you so much. The next item on the agenda is consideration of the amendments to Title 11 Zoning of the City Code relating to requirements of renting of rooms. Yes, please present us with this information, Miss Goodroad. [27:16] **Tina Goodroad:** Thank you. So, um, this year, in two different work sessions—July and December—the City Council has discussed creating a very specific ordinance within the city code to deal with short-term rentals. Right now, the zoning ordinances touches on it in a light way by allowing renting of rooms as an administrative permit within most of the residential districts. So, everything that's considered single family and medium density; um, it's not included in the high density districts. [27:54] **Tina Goodroad:** Um, within that it limits how a unit may be rented, requires off-street parking, but really doesn't include any other standards. So what the council directed staff to do is to create a separate one-encompassing ordinance to deal with short-term rentals like we did with the rental registration. The rental registration is included in Title 9 which is part of the city code. It's within the building regulations portion of the city code. And so this ordinance dealing with short-term rentals will also be located in Title 9. So with that, we need to remove "renting of rooms" within the zoning ordinance within all of those sections between 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. [28:40] **Tina Goodroad:** The city code is only reviewed by the City Council. So, your action tonight is to deal with taking out the reference of renting of rooms within the residential districts. I hope that makes sense. For your benefit, the short-term rental ordinance is more robust. It will require an annual permit and a renewal. It 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. Um, so again, while you're not reviewing the short-term rental ordinance, we do need public hearing and action by the planning commission to take out that reference so that we can move forward. Then on February 17th, the City Council will hopefully adopt the short-term rental ordinance, then adopt this ordinance to take out that reference, and then adopt a resolution to add the fee. Um, the fee will be $100 for the initial permit. It'll be an administrative review. We'll review it in-house in the Community Development Department and then a $50 renewal. So I hope that makes sense what we're asking of you tonight. Um, it is an ordinance amendment so it would require a public hearing. [30:23] **Chair Tinsley:** [Opening the floor for public hearing]. Give us your input and if there's nobody... **Tina Goodroad:** Doesn't look like there's anybody. **Commissioner Kuza:** Madam chair, seeing no one come forward, I move to close the public hearing. **Commissioner Swenson:** Second. [30:51] **Chair Tinsley:** All right, there's a motion and a second. All those in favor of closing the public hearing please say "Aye." **Commissioners:** Aye. **Chair Tinsley:** All opposed? [None]. Public hearing is now closed. Excuse me, sir. We just closed the public hearing. [31:16] **Tina Goodroad:** He has something else he'd like to talk about that would have been um during prior to the meeting. I'll leave it up to you, chair, if you want to allow him to speak once we get through this item. **Chair Tinsley:** Okay, we'll give that some consideration while we get through this item. [31:33] **Chair Tinsley:** Yes. All right. So, the public hearing is now closed and now we're open to planning commissioner comments. And Miss Goodroad, does this mean we're taking away some of our all-important power because it's not going to be in our jurisdiction anymore? [31:52] **Tina Goodroad:** Madam Chair, I would not look at it that way. Um, albeit it's not in the zoning ordinance, um, it's in the city code. Having a centralized ordinance for short-term rentals, staff believes and council believes that's more appropriate. Um, it's worked very well for us for the rental registration. We will get information on our website as to, you know, rolling this out. We'll have to um do some social media and information in our newsletter. We don't believe we have a lot of short-term rentals in the community. And the council was very intentional—it's still having a lot of limitations so that the end result isn't a whole bunch of short-term rentals, but having some tight guidance for when someone does choose that route. So, I wouldn't look at it that way. Um, it was an administrative permit anyhow, renting a room. So, it wasn't anything that this body had purview over. [32:52] **Chair Tinsley:** I have one follow-up since I have the microphone. I get to do this. Um, does this mean like VRBO? **Tina Goodroad:** Yes. I should have clarified that. Yep. **Chair Tinsley:** Okay. Commissioner Kuza, [33:09] **Commissioner Kuza:** Um, one question for Miss Goodroad. Uh, can you like just for anyone that might be watching this define like what the city considers short-term? **Tina Goodroad:** I can read you the definition we came up with. Short-term rental is a dwelling unit which is the primary residence of a household in which temporary lodging in all or part of the dwelling unit is offered for remuneration. So you can... VRBO, what's the other one? **Commissioner Kuza:** Airbnb. **Tina Goodroad:** Thank you. Um, you know, you can rent your house, you can rent a room. Um, we have been in contact with folks at Airbnb; um, they will assist in rolling out this information. Um, we haven't quite figured out exactly how it's all going to get rolled out, kind of taking it step-by-step, but um it's a pretty solid ordinance. We did our research. [34:06] **Commissioner Kuza:** Um, yeah, I just I appreciate the work. I think for the public and for those that might be interested in 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 don't have all the complete information. So, I really appreciate the city staff's work and kind of collecting everything together. Thank you. [34:33] **Chair Tinsley:** Commissioners? Other questions? **Commissioner Swenson:** Madam Chair, **Chair Tinsley:** Commissioner Swenson, **Commissioner Swenson:** I think I'd just add to that that our action we're taking here today is at the request of city council essentially, that they're looking to make these changes and modifications. And 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. We're just making our advisory opinion on that to city council. [34:58] **Chair Tinsley:** Excellent point. Miss Goodroad, this is going to occur at the next council meeting. [No further questions]. Thank you, Miss Goodroad. Looks like we might be ready for a motion. [35:17] **Commissioner Swenson:** Madam Chair, **Chair Tinsley:** Commissioner Swenson, **Commissioner Swenson:** I move to recommend to City Council approval of the ordinance amendment to Title 11 Zoning of the City Code relating to requirements for renting of rooms. **Commissioner Kuza:** Second. [35:39] **Chair Tinsley:** We have a motion and a second. Ericson, will you please take the roll? **Ericson:** Traficante? **Commissioner Traficante:** Aye. **Ericson:** Kuza? **Commissioner Kuza:** Aye. **Ericson:** Zimmer? **Commissioner Zimmer:** Aye. **Ericson:** Ike? **Commissioner Ike:** Aye. **Ericson:** Sweeny? **Commissioner Sweeny:** Aye. **Ericson:** Swenson? **Commissioner Swenson:** Aye. **Ericson:** Tinsley? **Chair Tinsley:** Aye. [35:55] **Chair Tinsley:** Thank you so much. Looks like you have your marching orders. Um, it's unusual to have someone come up and just speak on something [outside of public hearing]. I'm—you've not been presented with this. So... [35:55] **Tina Goodroad:** Madam Chair, I think traditionally the City Council has a public comment period before their meetings and generally for this body our public comments are limited to posted agenda items. [36:22] **Chair Tinsley:** Okay. All right. So, um, from there I don't know if we have any staff notices. **Tina Goodroad:** We'll go to council. **Chair Tinsley:** Perfect. Thank you. I have no other notices. Okay. Just remember that the planning commission meeting on the 19th is canceled and then our next one is March 5th. [36:47] **Chair Tinsley:** Okay. Uh, so with that we are adjourned.
