Regular City Council Meeting Monday,June 17, 2019 Page 18 concerned about up front, so the vendors know what to expect. He would rather see the process start as soon as possible rather than wait. Councilmember Groff echoed the comments because he thought people do get in habits of what to do and the longer the City waits, the initial excitement of the building is being lost and will be an old building in two or three years. Also, when talking about a 3- to 5-year contract with a vendor, the City intentions should be stipulated. The City Council thanked the Parks and Recreation Commission for the updates and discussion. e. Consider Changes to the City Code in Support of Temporary Overnight Homeless Shelters City Planner Thomas Paschke and Community Development Director Gundlach briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the RCA and related attachments dated June 17, 2019. Mr. Paschke indicated staff's conclusion was that the Interim Use process really is not the appropriate process given the State Statute and trying to come up with a different process would be better suited for what staff is talking about. In essence, having the Temporary Overnight Homeless Shelters to be somewhat of a more permitted type of use requiring less hassle and being less cumbersome as before and also taking into thought the costs. Staff discussed and concluded that one of the most effective and efficient ways of processing such as request would be to have it as a business license and would require an amendment to the Zoning Code to stipulate that the use would be a permitted accessory use to the principal use which would be the church itself or place of assembly. From there it would re- quire the entity to go through and obtain a business license. Within the business license would be all of the requirements provided by the State Fire Marshal and previously discussed. What is before the Council is to go through that process through the Chapter 310 as well as the Zoning Code. Councilmember Willmus asked what the period of time that the license or use would be valid in any given calendar year. Ms. Gundlach explained the way the proposed amendment is written, a new li- cense would be created. The administration of such license refers back to Chapter 301, which is the general license requirements and that section indicates those li- censes are good for a calendar year. The language staff created in Chapter 310, condition 16 is the additional requirements the City would impose on this license if the City did not want to use the calendar year in Chapter 301. She noted this is the custom condition the Council can create to their liking if the Council does not like what is in Chapter 301.
