Who is required to register? <br />Since the City has just one traditional apartment building, one condominium building, <br />and a senior housing building, this program is directed toward structures with less than <br />five dwelling units. If more multi-family buildings are constructed in the future, this <br />ordinance can be amended to include additional types of residential buildings. <br /> <br />Owner occupied properties, on-campus student housing, off-campus student housing <br />operated by a college or university in structures with five or more dwelling units, nursing <br />home units, and hotels/motels are also exempt under this proposed ordinance. If for some <br />reas~n 1 colle.ge or other institution purchased a dwelling unit to rent out, they would be <br />requIr~o regIster. <br /> <br />· What information is required to register? <br />A primary reason for adopting this ordinance is to have up to date contact information for <br />the property owners so that the City can contact them if needed. Therefore, the property <br />owner is required to provide their name, address, phone number, birth date, and driver's <br />license/identification number. If the property is owned by a business (i.e. LLC, <br />corporation, partnership), the business must appoint an agent and provide the same <br />information listed above. <br /> <br />If the property owner lives outside the metropolitan area, the owner would be required to <br />appoint an agent that resides within the metropolitan area and provide the necessary <br />contact information. <br /> <br />Additional information requirements include: the property address, number of bedrooms, <br />size of the bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and the number of occupants. Owners must <br />be able to provide an occupancy list upon request. <br /> <br />The ordinance lists the minimum requirements. The City can require additional pertinent <br />information on the application without having to change the ordinance. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council meeting for June 8, 2009 <br /> <br />\\Ahdocsl\ah\AHdata\Planning\Community Development\Community Enhancement Program\Rental Regulation \060809 - CC Memo - Rental <br />Registration. doc <br /> <br />Page 2 of5 <br />
