At its April 17 meeting, the City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance
amending Chapter V primarily to address accessory dwelling units (ADUs). At that meeting,
the Council discussed amending Chapter V to allow for vehicle leasing north of Bass Lake
Road. After the meeting, it was determined the proposed use in question is a permitted
accessory use under the existing Code so no additional amendment is necessary.
Recommend approval of the second reading of the ordinance amending Chapter V of the
City Code.

The City Council has had several work session discussions regarding amending the City Code
