Motion setting a public hearing for January 10, 2023 to consider an

regulations related to solar energy systems and further climate
action goals. (RE722-0011)
Comment: At its December 7 meeting, staff anticipates that the Planning and Zoning
Commission will make a recommendation on REZ22-0011. The amendment would
clarify how solar energy systems fit into the zoning code, remove potential barriers to solar
energy systems, and incentivize solar energy, electrification, and higher energy
conservation standards. Proposed regulations relating to Electric Vehicle readiness and
charging stations were removed so staff can evaluate how to incorporate comments
made by the Planning and Zoning Commission at their meeting on November 2, 2022.

8. Discrimination against Section 8 Tenants
Ordinance amending Title 2, entitled "Human Rights," Chapter 1, entitled
"General Provisions," to eliminate the prohibition on landlords
Se --e discriminating against Housing Choice Voucher (aka, Section 8) holders.
�� -W GL- (First Consideration)
Comment: The City Code prohibits landlords from refusing to lease to tenants who have Housing
Chace Vouchers (aka, Section 8). As of Jan. 1, 2023, this provision is unenforceable due to a
2021 state law that preempts local governments from prohibiting landlords from refusing to lease a
unit to a person with a voucher. The ordinance removes the City Code provision prohibiting
landlords from discriminating against tenants with vouchers.

9. Repeal of Rental Permit Cap
Ordinance amending Title 17, entitled "Building and Housing," Chapter 5,
entitled "Housing Code," to repeal the rental permit cap provision. (First
Sem Consideration)
Comment: In 2017, City Council established a rental permit cap to limit the percentage
of rental permits for single-family and duplex homes in the central area of the City to
stabilize those neighborhoods. In 2019, a new state law was adopted preempting local
governments from imposing a rental permit cap on single-family or duplex homes.
Although the rental cap provision has been unenforceable for three years, it was never
repealed. This ordinance repeals the provision. I

10. Sidewalk Cafes -expand locations
Ordinance amending Title 10, entitled "Public Ways and Property,"
Chapter 3, entitled "Commercial Use of Sidewalks," to allow sidewalk
cafes outside of the downtown and Riverfront Crossings. (Second
Consideration)
Comment Sidewalk cafes are currently only allowed in the Central Business zones and
the Riverfront Crossings District. Staff recommends establishments without liquor
permits should be allowed to have a sidewalk cafe in zones outside of the Central
Business zones and Riverfront Crossings District. The ordinance allows the City
Manager to impose restrictions in addition to those in the City Code and Council JT
adopted policy, such as fewer hours of operation. Staff requests expecRpd action.

��-�- indude seating "minor cafes" defined as small cafes without aloohol permits to which few
