Repeal of Urgency Ordinance 1069 N.S. regarding short-term rental ordinance–repealed Urgency Ordinance 1069 N.S., which added the Short-Term Rental Ordinance to the City Zoning Code. An urgency ordinance goes into effect without a second reading and requires 4/5 of the council to support it. It is time-limited and expires after a defined period. Urgency ordinances address a timely need and are not permanent.
Short-term rental ordinance second reading– directed staff to not bring back for a second reading, a regular ordinance that added the regular Short-Term Rental Ordinance to the City Zoning Ordinance. A regular ordinance does not go into effect until 30 days after a second reading. By not holding the second reading of this ordinance, the Council kept it from going into effect.
Amendment of municipal code to add provisions regulating short term rentals (vacation rental homes) in all residential and mixed-use zoning districts throughout the city– approved a motion to refer the proposed ordinance along with public comment to the Short-Term Rental Task Force with the goal of recommending a draft ordinance to the Planning Commission within 60 days. The task force will begin meeting on Feb. 27, 2019 at 10 a.m. in the City Council Chamber. These meetings are open to the public. Residents interested in receiving notifications regarding this topic can sign up through “Notify Me” on the city’s website.
Sherwood Park area masterplan– approved the 2019 Sherwood Park Area Master Plan and authorized the preparation of a project phasing plan, financing plan, engineered construction drawings, and a maintenance/staffing needs analysis.
Options for increasing pickleball court capacity– directed staff to prioritize the construction of new pickleball courts at Sherwood Park with lighting utilizing reserves and to replenish reserves as funding becomes available. Staff will return to council with a resolution to establish funding.
