Public Hearings: 1. 6:35 p.m. Approximately 2247 S. 2000 W. Annexation – Johnny Watson - (#17 00623), A proposed annexation which will retain the existing zoning (Commercial Business Center (CBC) Zone in the Impact Area for the City of Rexburg. 35 North 1st East Rexburg, ID 83440 Phone: 208.359.3020 Fax: 208.359.3022 www.rexburg.org Planning & Zoning Minutes December 7, 2017 2 Johnny Watson indicated he is representing property owner Randy Larsen at tonight’s public hearing. Mr. Watson reviewed the annexation at approximately 2247 S. 2000 W. A map of the property was viewed on the overhead screen. The parcel is about 14 acres south of the new Motel 6. He mentioned city utilities will need to be connected at the owner’s expense. They will work with the City’s Public Works Director on the size of utility lines needed for future development. Commissioner Oakey asked how close to the city limits and where the city utilities end before reaching the property. Mr. Watson said the property is adjacent to the city limits of Rexburg and the utilities end near the new Motel 6. Johnny Watson mentioned the property has good visibility from Highway 20 and is located close to the off ramp on University Boulevard. Public Works Director Davidson explained the location of the sewer lines and water lines closest to the property. Mr. Watson indicated Richard Smith owns the property adjacent to property requesting to annex and will work with him to expand the utility lines through his parcel. 3 Chairman Christensen asked for any other clarifying questions. Johnny Watson indicated the owner is requesting an annexation only and no changes to the way the property is currently zoned. Chairman Heidi Christensen opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:40 p.m. Favor: None Neutral: None Opposed: None Written Input: None Rebuttal: None Chairman Heidi Christensen closed the public input portion of the hearing at 6:41 PM. She invited staff to report. Building and Zoning Official Christensen said he spoke with Richard Smith regarding the annexation of the property at 2247 S. 2000 W. and Mr. Smith is in favor of the annexation. 4 MOTION: Steve Oakey moved to recommend approval of the annexation at approximately 2247 S. 2000 W for continuing the development of the City. The proposed annexation will retain the existing zoning (Commercial Business Center (CBC) in the Impact Area for the City of Rexburg; John Bowen seconded the motion. The motion is a recommendation to City Council and no further discussion is needed. VOTE: Those in Favor Those Opposed Commissioner Anderson Commissioner Davenport Commissioner Blacker Commissioner Farmer Commissioner Rudd Commissioner Sutherland Commissioner Oakey Commissioner Kunz Commissioner Bowen Chairman Christensen Motion Carried. Stephen Zollinger clarified that the applicant is requesting approval at this time for a Planned Unit Development Master Plan. The preliminary plat was included in the notice of public hearing; however, it only requires administrative review. 2. 6:40 p.m. Thompson Farms Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Plan – Paul Bringhurst – (#17-00704), the zoning of the property will remain the same as recently reconfigured for Medium Density Residential One (MDR1), Low Density Residential Two (LDR2), and Community Business Center (CBC). Paul Bringhurst presented on the Thompson Farms Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Plan. Commissioner Oakey said there are several staff recommendations/reviews, such as “the owner of record does not match the owner of record shown on the plat”. He asked Mr. Bringhurst if he has any questions regarding the staff recommendation and if he is in agreement or disagreement with any of the recommendations. Mr. Bringhurst reviewed the staff recommendations that haven’t been finalized; one of them is the access onto the Yellowstone Highway. There will be three new access points and one existing access point on Stegelmeier Lane. Mr. Bringhurst reviewed the access points on the master plan map. The access points are 400 feet or more apart meeting the Idaho Transportation Department requirements. He mentioned he isn’t opposed to removing an access point on the commercial side of the development; however, the access point in the clubhouse to the apartments is vital. The access points onto the Yellowstone Highway will be worked out with the Idaho Transportation Department and City Engineer. 5 Mr. Bringhurst said another change since the last time they meet with Planning and Zoning is the right of way width. They had the width of the right of way at 60 feet; the width should have been at 68 feet. The Streets were widened and now comply with the right of way width requirements. The streets between the town homes will be private streets and will be kept narrow. He said another request from city staff is to make a vehicular connection between the apartments and town homes. Paul proposed to narrow the arch down slightly to align the parking with the street. This will leave more space on both sides and will meet the open space requirements. They are requesting to add 14 more town homes. They would still be under the base density requirements for that zone. He mentioned with the additional 14 town homes, the total number of units will be 448. Commissioner Oakey asked if all of the internal roads will be kept private. Mr. Bringhurst replied the roads into the apartments and town houses will be private and the roads in the single family homes are public as well as the access roads. Mr. Bringhurst mentioned there is a concern with Stegelmeier Lane entering Yellowstone Highway perpendicular. They agree that it would be safer to realign that road; however, they do not own the property to the north. They are willing to work with the owner of the property to the north to work out a solution. He does not agree that the realignment of the road be part of the recommendations because he doesn’t own the property. Paul and the Stegelmeiers have exchanged phone messages. Public Works Director Davidson explained he believes a solution can be worked out between both property owners. 6 7 8 Chairman Christensen asked for any other clarifying questions. None. Chairman Heidi Christensen opened the public input portion of the hearing at 6:48 p.m. Favor: None Neutral: Ray McDougal, 427 Stegelmeier, Rexburg, apologized to Paul Bringhurst for not being able to connect with him, but he appreciates Paul reaching out to him. Ray said by squaring off the access onto Yellowstone Highway to make it safer it would cut off most of his parking lot. This would be a difficult solution for him. He asked if there is a way to bring Stegelmeier Lane into the interior of the adjacent property to have it square up and maybe put in a curve. He is also requesting the height of the apartments be limited to 30 feet. He requested that the buffer being put in not obstruct the views of the foothills and temple. Ray McDougal asked that the town houses adjacent to Stegelmeier Lane be limited to one story in height. He requested the ownership of the roads within the development be owned by the city because the city maintains them better. There may be some concerns with the access points onto the highway. Ray McDougal asked if the development would have water rights or a secondary water system. If not, could the city negotiate for water rights to transfer them to well water rights for future city needs. Don McDougal, 481 Stegelmeier Lane, said he would prefer Stegelmeier Lane be a full width street instead of a lane with heavy traffic flow. Opposed: None Written Input: None Rebuttal: Paul Bringhurst clarified there are three distinct housing types being proposed within the development: 1) 2 and 3-story stack flat apartments; 1-2 story townhomes; and 1-2 story single family homes. The heights of the buildings were designed with the neighboring homes in mind. The parking was designed to abut Stegelmeier Lane to give more distance between the single family homes and the apartments. Paul Bringhurst said he prefers not to improve Stegelmeier Lane. He is waiting for the traffic study to be completed. He believes the study will show the traffic flow will move to the collector road and not onto Stegelmeier Lane. Chairman Heidi Christensen closed the public input portion of the hearing at 6:58 p.m. She invited staff to report. John Bowen asked how many accesses are there without Stegelmeier Lane. Paul proposed three accesses onto Yellowstone. 9 Building and Zoning Official Val Christensen reviewed the bonus density points and general design of the Planned Unit Development. All PUD’s have certain requirements that need to be met. This development meets the required bonus density points; however, there are two items of concern with the energy efficiency category. The insulation of all dwellings and main buildings shall exceed the minimum pass requirements of the International Energy Conservation Coded for energy efficiency by at least 2%. In the staff review, staff requested the upgrade to the energy efficiency be more than 2%. City Staff will work with the developer to improve the energy efficiency points. Building and Zoning Official Christensen reviewed the points associated with the landscaping. If more trees are added the development will meet the landscaping points. The landscaping was going to be modified by adding bushes to buffer the fences around the garbage containers. City staff and the developer will work out the points for the landscaping. Building and Zoning Official Christensen explained a vehicular connection between the two different zones in the development is needed. The planning elements of the development have been agreed upon. City Staff is recommending approval of the Planned Unit Development Master Plan. Public Works Director Davidson indicated most of the public works recommendations are for the preliminary plat process. As far as the master plan is concerned there are two main comments: 1) no access onto HWY 33 other than the main road. 2) To have Steglemeier Lane tie in as close to a 90 degree angle as possible. Commissioner Kunz questioned the request from Public Works Director Davidson to only have two access points instead of three. Public Works Director Davidson replied he prefers only two accesses because of the speed limit on that highway. The highway is designated as an arterial road that will carry more traffic in the future. He said mobility and access play a part, sometimes access has to be given up for increased mobility. Commissioner Davenport asked about the need of Steglemeier Lane for the development Public Works Director Davidson explained he doesn’t anticipate Stegelmeier Lane becoming a dead end road, but connecting to development to the east. The lane will pick up traffic with additional development. Commissioner Bowen asked if there is a possibility to widen the road so that there is a pullout similar to the one near the new Wal-Mart on 2nd East. Public Works Director Davidson replied the Idaho Transportation Department will weigh in heavily because they are the ones that lay out the access points. ITD will ask the city for their opinion; however, ultimately it is their decision. The traffic impact study will shed more light as to how many access points will be needed. Commissioner Blacker asked how wide Stegelmeier Lane is currently. Public Works Director Davidson said there is currently no right of way. The lane will also need to be built out, paved with sidewalks, curb and gutter; it currently is a gravel road. If the lane is built out, the city will need 68 feet of right of way. Building and Zoning Official Christensen said discussion has taken place with the McDougals. They were told there wouldn’t be further development without Stegelmeier Lane being improved. The cost associated to make Stegelmeier Lane a 90 degree turn should not solely rest upon the developer. The owner to the north also bares some of the cost. 10 John Bowen asked if the road will eventually be widened to connect with the development to the east. Public Works Director Davidson replied both parties will be participating in that process. MOTION: Commissioner Rory Kunz moved to recommend approval of the Thompson Farms Preliminary Planned Unit Development (PUD) Master Plan with the following emphasis: 1) the representatives for Thompson Farms work with the city on the required density bonus points. 2) Before the final plat comes back to Planning and Zoning that an affable discussion take place between the Thompson Farms representatives, the home owners to the north, and the Public Works Director to work out the issues with traffic and road ways. Steve Oakey seconded the motion. Discussion: Commissioner Farmer said he is concerned with bicyclist connectivity onto the bike path across the street from the development. If the developer adds a path on their side of the development; it could add bonus points. The motion is a recommendation to City Council and no further discussion is needed. VOTE: Those in Favor Those Opposed Commissioner Anderson Commissioner Davenport Commissioner Farmer Commissioner Rudd Commissioner Sutherland Commissioner Oakey Commissioner Kunz Commissioner Bowen Commissioner Blacker Chairwoman Christensen Motion Carried. Chairman Heidi Christensen closed the public hearing at 7:22 p.m. 2. 6:45 p.m. Amend Development Code for Short-term Rental – Short-term Rental Task Force –Rory Kunz or Greg Blacker Discussion: regarding written testimony verses verbal testimony City Attorney Zollinger explained the written testimony will be on record; however, if the person has new information “evidence” that is not included in their letter, they may give verbal testimony. Commissioner Kunz explained earlier in the year decisions were made as to how short-term rentals would be defined and handled. After the decisions were made, the State of Idaho came out with House Bill 216 regarding its view of how short-term rentals should be handled by city governments. A task force was formed to incorporate House Bill 216. The task force members included two members of Planning and Zoning Commission, two members of City Council and three members of the community to weigh in on how to handle and respond to House Bill 216. 11 Commissioner Kunz indicated after several discussions and meetings the task force has come up with the following proposal to change the city ordinance to incorporate the state statute changes. He reviewed the changes to the short-term rentals. Short-term rentals will be allowed in all zones. 1. Any property owner who wishes to use their property as a short-term must first obtain a short-term business license (which is renewable annually), and a safety inspection paid for by the property owner. 2. The safety inspection will ensure that the property meets the current building inspection safety standards for a single-family home. 3. Licenses shall be regulated by the city. Licenses will be $100 for the first year and $50.00 for renewal. 4. In order to ensure the general welfare and safety of the neighborhoods, short term rentals in zones LDR1 and LDR2, LDR3, and RR must have owner or owner’s agent occupied during said rental. 5. In no way shall the short-term business license or any other short-term use be construed to assume permission is given for a duplex. 6. Property must allow for enough on-site, off-street parking to accommodate all of their guest vehicles. The license application will have the following information:  Disclaimer: It is the owner’s obligation to ensure that their property is protected by the property insurance type, that their home mortgage is the proper type and that they abide by all laws.  Is the property located in an HOA?  Are there Covenants?  Do the Covenants allow such a business?  Does it meet current safety standards for a single-family home?  Is there enough parking to accommodate off street parking for all visitors? Commissioner Sutherland asked about the parking standards for the following zones: Low Density Residential, Low Density Residential 1 and Low Density Residential 2. Are they going to be held to the current parking requirements or will they be changed to allow parking to be expanded? He said currently the zones require a certain percentage of front-yard so that someone isn’t able to turn their frontage into a parking lot. Commissioner Kunz said no changes to the zoning rules were proposed. Commissioner Anderson asked for clarification regarding the two parking stalls for the owner. She was concerned about the definition of the term, “short-term rental.” Commissioner Kunz explained the only recommendation from the task force was that no on-street parking was allowed in the low density residential zones for the nightly rental guest. The off-street parking stalls will need to accommodate 1 stall for the on-site manager, as well as, the guests. Commissioner Bowen asked what if the Home Owner’s Association does not covenant against short term rentals? Commissioner Kunz replied short-term rental business owners will be responsible for finding out if their Home Owner’s Association allows short-term rentals or restricts them. Building and Zoning Official Christensen explained most of the proposed items for the short- term rentals will be on the business registration application and not on the ordinance. 12 The main things that will be changed in the ordinance are the definitions of short-term rentals, boarding houses, and bed and breakfasts to cover the fee and registration. They only had one change to the parking requirements in the ordinance and that is to require the one legal parking stall per each bedroom rented. These changes are additions made by staff. Ilene Olsen asked if anyone had read a current news report where an owner of a short-term rental had installed cameras in the guest bedroom to record the guest? Commissioner Kunz said anyone renting an Airbnb should take special consideration of the room they are renting. He doesn’t feel like that is a city regulated item. Commissioner Oakey said the task force was strictly defining and dealing with short-term rentals; however, that definition seems to have blossomed and did not make a good translation into the development code. He sees definitions for bed and breakfast, boarding house, and short-term rentals. There are three items showing up in the new development code. He asked Commissioner Kunz if the task force was dealing with bed and breakfasts or boarding houses? Commissioner Kunz said they were specifically addressing the requirements made by the State House Bill 216. Those definitions were changed prior to the house bill. The task force was trying to do their best to help the city become in compliance with State House Bill 216. Commissioner Oakey said the task force’s suggestion that short-term rentals be allowed in all zones did not work out to what the commission has in front of them. We have Low Density Residential 1 and Low Density Residential 2 zones not allowing short-term rentals by definition. The two zones are only allowing boarding houses. Building and Zoning Official Christensen replied that is incorrect because a short-term rental is an all-encompassing definition. Boarding houses and bed and Breakfast fit into that all-encompassing definition. Commissioner Oakey said he is confused because in Low Density Residential l and Low Density Residential 2 zones, only boarding houses are allowed and in Medium Density zones it allows bed and breakfast, boarding houses, and short-term rentals. Building and Zoning Official Christensen clarified it is for a more specific short-term rental. Commissioner Oakey said then by this proposed ordinance short-term rentals are not allowed in all Low Density Residential zones. Building and Zoning Official Christensen replied that is incorrect they are allowed; short-term rentals include bed and breakfast and boarding houses. Commissioner Oakey said there are very specific definitions in the proposed ordinance. Building and Zoning Official Christensen explained short-term rentals include bed and breakfast and a boarding house. Commissioner Oakey said there are three separate definitions; he is concerned that if they are the same, why then are they not included in the LDR1 and LDR2 zones? Building and Zoning Official Christensen explained the Planning and Zoning Commissioners in earlier meetings decided they preferred to make different categories of short term rentals and put them into different zones because they preferred them to be home owner occupied only. He was going to identify them all as short-term rentals. Commissioner Davenport had indicated in those earlier meetings that the bed and breakfast and a boarding house already had a definition. They also meet the requirements of the definition that were in the dictionary. Building and Zoning Official Christensen continued to explain the Planning and Zoning Commissioners decided to keep different definitions because they preferred more restrictions in 13 some of the zones even though the zone allowed short-term rentals. He said the definition of a boarding house requires the owner of property to live in the property being rented out as a short- term rental. The definition of a bed and breakfast allows the property owner to live in the adjacent property to the short-term rental. The restrictions were for the low density residential zones and not for the high density zones. Discussion regarding being compliant with House Bill 216. John Bowen asks, can the whole City choose not want to comply with the State. The stand of the City is in compliance with the state statute. City Attorney Zollinger mentioned a possible change to House Bill 216. The change is not known; however, there is a possibility that the city will still not be in compliance with the state statute regarding short term rentals, because the Legislature intends to amend the bill in the 2018 Legislative session. Commissioner John Bowen likes the definitions as they are. He asked, what is the use for having any declarations or covenants in each of these areas? These laws and requirements would supersede them. City Attorney Zollinger says the Legislature is not considering short-term rental as a business use, but as a residential use. Commissioner John Bowen, said you take a profit. He then asked, rhetorically, then, what is the need for zoning? Commissioner Kunz explained the attempt of the task force was to address both parties; those in favor of allowing short-term rentals in low density zones and those opposed to allowing short-term rentals in low density zones. It will be difficult to completely satisfy both parties and the truth of the matter is, come January, the State of Idaho gave notification that short-term rentals be allowed throughout the city. He said according to the state, nightly rentals are considered residential use in all zones and cannot restrict it as such; however, the city can set limitations as to their use. By requiring an agent to live on site in all lower density residential zones and by limiting the number of cars a person can bring into a home by requiring them to park on site and not on the street. The current planning and zoning laws require homes in a low density zone have at least 30% grass in the front yard. This law prevents anyone from turning their whole lawn into a parking lot. This also reduces the number of people that can rent a house at any one time. The ability for the city to register an Airbnb or nightly rental would allow the city to know which sites or communities have them, in case there are any questions or complaints. Commissioner Kunz said the task force was put in place to address short-term rentals with the understanding that short-term rentals encompassed all rental properties that are rented out for less than thirty days. Commissioner Anderson said currently the definition of short-term rental reads “any rental of a dwelling unit that is for a time period of less than thirty days”. This definition can stay the same and include boarding houses and bed and breakfasts; however, the short-term rental is a broad term and doesn’t have the same restrictions of a boarding house and bed and breakfast. 14 Commissioner Oakey suggested the city do the same as the City of Idaho Falls did in their code section 10.3.3; they lifted in whole, the state statute 216. The City of Idaho Falls dealt with this issue in a very simple fashion. He said if the City of Rexburg does the same as the City of Idaho Falls, we will be in full compliance with state statute 216. Commissioner Bowen asked if a person can open up any type of business from their home; for example, a tool shop from their garage. City Attorney Zollinger said you could not under the Home Owner’s Association because there is no statutorily defined exception for any type of a business. Rexburg has statutorily defined certain businesses that are considered non-commercial and has allowed them in residential neighborhoods. He said it’s not uncommon for certain types of businesses to find their way into residential neighborhoods; however, not just a general business, they would still be prohibited. Commissioner Davenport asked if the city was found out of compliance with the state statute, would the state allow time for the city to come into compliance. City Attorney Zollinger said with the possible change to House Bill 216, the city will possibly not be in compliance with the state statute regarding short term rentals if the change to House Bill 216 receives the sufficient votes to pass. The state would allow enough time for the city to be in compliance with the state statute. Commissioner Farmer asked about the parking stalls for each room. Does this include the resident living there? City Attorney Zollinger answered, no, a parking stall will be needed for each room rented. Commissioner Farmer asked, how far into compliance will the home being rented as short-term rental need to be? Building and Zoning Official Christensen said it would have to comply with the life-saving building inspections. Mr. Lemon questioned if the property has already been subjected to all of the life-saving building inspections and has a Conditional Use Permit, will it have to be reinspected? Building and Zoning Official Christensen said it is based on the use of home. It depends if there is a change of use. City Attorney Zollinger explained they would be handled on case-by-case basis. Commissioner Oakey said City code 4.10 addresses these business that can, with some approval, exist in a neighborhood. There are home businesses taking place in each and every neighborhood in the city; some legal, some illegal. This describes the entrepreneur nature of our population. Building and Zoning Official Christensen agrees with Mr. Oakey regarding home businesses. The difference with short-term rentals is the management portion of this. Home business cover the life-safety parts of our code, and those businesses are pretty innocuous. Chairwoman Christensen asked for any other clarifying questions. None. Chairwoman Christensen opened the public input portion of the hearing at 7:54 p.m. Favor: Brian Lemon, 249 Mohawk, expressed his appreciation for the work done by the task force. He appreciates the time and effort put forth by the task force. The proposal represents a good compromise that allows for individual property rights and still protects the integrity of the neighborhoods. 15 Lucas Handy, 555 Edith Circle, explained he has talked about his neighbors regarding this rental. He said he has visited with three of his neighbors and they haven’t complained to him about his short term rental. He agrees with the proposal of having the agent live in the home being rented as a short term rental. A short term rental can be operated without being invasive to the neighborhood. The economic benefits of using his home as a short term rental have been great for his family. He believes the best way to allow short term rentals throughout the city are to regulate them. Neutral: None Opposed: Ilene Olsen, 333 Shoshone, said when she wrote her letter she was basing it off of a newspaper article. She read her letter to the Planning and Zoning Commissioners opposing short term rentals in the low density residential zones. 16 17 Mr. Cardon, 871 Widdison Lane, said he is opposed to short term rentals in low density residential zones. He believes in the right and control of property. The government should protect property and the citizens’ rights. The regulation of property takes away economic opportunities and denies the citizen’s rights. He said no, one legislation, should have absolute power over our person or our property. Written Input: Commissioner Anderson read the letter from Lt. Col. Paul T and Connie Beisser opposed to allowing short-term rentals in low density zones. 18 Commissioner Bowen read Boyd and Terri Cardon’s letter opposing short term rentals in Low Density Residential Zones. 19 Rebuttal: Commissioner Kunz explained the State Statute allows property owners to rent their home for a period of thirty days or more. The issue came when property owners started renting out their homes as a nightly rental. He said per state statute short-term rentals are allowed. Chairwoman Christensen closed the public input portion of the hearing at 8:15 PM. She invited staff to report. Zoning and Building Official Christensen said city staff was tasked to include the recommendations from the short-term-rental-task force. He believes city staff has accomplished the inclusion of these recommendations Discussion regarding being in compliance with the Idaho State Statute. Commissioner Davenport explained the term “short term rental” is the excepted broad term. The term includes a boarding house and bed and breakfast. Commission Discussion MOTION: Commissioner Oakey moved to recommend the strict recommendation that all of House Bill 216 be included in the ordinance and for the City to be in full compliance with state statute regarding short term rentals. The owner/agent of the short term rental be in full compliance with the state statute. Commissioner Kunz seconded the motion. Commissioner Farmer asked about the additional fee of $25.00 to register a short term rental business in the City of Rexburg. He said with other business the $25.00 fee is included with the other fees. City Attorney Zollinger said the $25.00 fee is included in the $100.00 fee to register this type of business. Discussion regarding fees associated with the short term rental business. Commissioner Davenport moved to make a substitute motion to amend the current Development Code for Short Term Rentals with the recommendation submitted by the short term rental task force. Commissioner Anderson seconded the motion The substitute motion is a recommendation to City Council and no further discussion is needed.
