DATE: July 11, 2016
ITEM NO: XX
Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section:
Name Jeremy Barnhart JML Planning
Title Community Development Director
Item Description: City of Orono, Text Amendment: Temporary Family Health Care
Application Summary
The ordinance as drafted “opts out” the City of Orono from recently passed legislation pertaining to Temporary Family Health Care units. The statute allows property owners to place
a temporary trailer on the property so they may provide health care to users (intended to be family members) for up to 12 months. The statute imposes several conditions, including that
the structure be connected to electricity and water via the main home, and that all local ordinances are followed. Since City Ordinances currently prohibit dwellings in trailers or
accessory structures, the ordinance restates the prohibition.
The Planning Commission report and exhibits are incorporated by reference. The staff report is attached as Exhibit B. Staff was directed by the Council to draft this ordinance during
the May 23rd worksession.
Planning Commission Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed the draft ordinance at their meeting on June 20th. The Planning Commission noted that the ordinance could clarify the city’s regulation, in light of
the recent new law.
Action Requested:
Adopt, by motion, the ordinance as presented.
