Title:
Adopt Ordinance #23-16 Amendment to Chapter 16, Article XIV Rental Residential Dwelling Units
Purpose/Background:
At the August 22, 2023 City Council meeting, Ordinance #23-16 was introduced. The amendment to Chapter 26, Article XIV. Rental Residential Dwelling Units updates the application requirements for rental licenses, associated fees, inspection process, and creates a crime-free housing program, in which all rental properties will be a part of. Changes will require an annual renewal of rental licenses and annual interior inspections of rental units. The intent of the changes is to create a rental inspection program for the good of all residents in and around rental properties that focuses not only on items described in the Crime-Free Housing Program, but that would equally benefit all tenants and the respective property owners.
At the time of the ordinance introduction, there was a council suggestion to ensure a "current" state issued drivers license or identification card is provided; therefore, in Section 26-646. Application a(8), the word "current" has been added.
The draft Ordinance #231-16 is attached for your review.
