City Council Agenda Memo
From:Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Council Meeting:April 23, 2019
Subject:Rental Dwelling Unit Ordinance Amendments
Person(s) Responsible: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary:
Staff is proposing amendments to the Rental Dwelling Unit ordinance. The proposed
changes consist of a compilation of existing ordinances and including them within the
rental dwelling unit section of the municipal ordinances, thus strengthening the rental
inspection program.
Background:
At the February 27, 2018 City Council Meeting, Council Member Bacon requested the
rental housing inspection program be discussed at a future City Council meeting. On
June 12, 2018, the City Council discussed the rental housing inspection program and
the desire to expand the inspection program to include more items related to the safety
of the structure and the occupants.
Staff compiled research from other peer university communities with rental program
inspections. The four peer communities selected were chosen based upon the
feedback provided to the City Manager and staff from council members on areas of
interest in expanding the rental inspection program. Attached in your packet is the Peer
Community Research Comparison chart which shows the current regulations in
Brookings, suggestions as of December 4, 2018, staff recommendations as of March 1,
2019, and staff’s final recommendations as of March 13, 2019. Staff held various
meetings with interested parties, including a small group meeting in December with
property managers, a meeting with international tenants in February, three meetings
with tenants in February, and a large group meeting with property managers/owners in
early March. Staff discussed feedback provided at each of the meetings and revised
the recommendations based upon the merits of the discussion.
Discussion:
A majority of the recommended changes to the Rental Dwelling Unit ordinance are
contained in other sections of the City of Brookings Municipal Code of Ordinances.
However, due to the language not being specifically listed in the Rental Dwelling Unit
section of the code, staff is unable to withhold a rental license. Staff does have the
ability to still enforce the other sections of the municipal code, however, it is done
through a different process. Compiling the codes and adding them to the Rental
Dwelling Unit ordinances re-emphasizes the importance of the code requirements and
places a greater emphasis on correcting the violation in a timely manner as the rental
license is withheld until such time as the issue is resolved.
Section 22-373 would add language requiring the agent to be present during the
inspection. Staff feels it is important for the agent to be present during an inspection in
the event that there is any violation, that the agent clearly understand what the issue is
and where it is located and the necessary remedies to correct the issue.
Section 22-405 provides for a re-inspection fee. Currently, there is not a re-inspection
fee associated with the rental licensing program. If a re-inspection is necessary due to
a failed first inspection, the property manager will schedule a re-inspection with staff. If
staff re-inspects the property and violations still exist, then further inspections are
scheduled until such time as compliance with the ordinance is achieved. Staff has had
to perform multiple inspections on properties due to the violations not being corrected.
Adding the suggested language is anticipated to minimize the number of re-inspections
and thus allowing staff to be more efficient.
Section 22-432 adds responsibility on the occupant of a dwelling unit to not disable any
required smoke detectors. The most common violation encountered during a rental
inspection is smoke detectors not working or disabled. The property managers are
aware of the ordinance requirements for smoke detectors and are not going into
individual units and disabling the smoke detectors. This proposed language allows the
City to hold tenants responsible for disabling the smoke detectors.
Section 22-432(2)(c) adds language requiring escape or rescue windows to be free of
any cracks or defects. This language is already in Property Maintenance and Nuisance
ordinances of the City of Brookings, however, currently staff is not allowed to withhold a
rental license for this issue due to it not being within the rental dwelling unit section of
the municipal code. The language would allow the timely resolution of the issue as the
rental license would remain in a pending status until the deficiency is corrected.
Section 22-436 is new language requiring carbon monoxide alarms in rental dwellings
which contain fuel-fired appliances and/or attached garages. This language is already
in the Building Code, however, a rental license cannot be withheld at this time if not in
compliance.
Section 22-437 pertains to lighting and electrical systems. The suggested language is
currently in the Building Code, however, due to it not being included in the Rental
Dwelling Unit ordinances, staff would not be able to withhold a rental license. In
addition, based upon feedback during property manager meetings, staff is proposing as
a compromise, a graduation period whereby rental units can continue to be licensed,
however, by January 1, 2022, the GFCI outlets would need to be installed.
Section 22-438 pertains to the storage of combustible materials. This language is
included in the current City of Brookings Fire Code, however, we feel it is important to
include the language in the Rental Dwelling Unit ordinances as staff observe many
instances in which combustible materials are in close proximity to sources of ignition.
Section 22-439 requires rental dwelling units to be provided with properly installed and
working locks on entry doors. This requirement for multi-family properties would be the
entry doors to the individual units and not the exterior entry door to common hallways,
etc. This language is currently in the building code and would make a rental license
contingent upon satisfying this requirement.
Section 22-440 will require handrails and spindles installed in accordance the City of
Brookings Building Code. Provides the ability to withhold a rental license until handrails
and spindles are installed or fixed.
Section 22-441 pertains to numbering of units. This is also a current requirement of the
City of Brookings Building Code, however, provides the ability to withhold a rental
license until compliance is obtained. The numbering of units allows for proper
addressing and locating of units.
Section 22-422 will require all bathrooms containing a shower or tub to provide
ventilation through either an openable window or a mechanical ventilation system. A
grace period of January 1, 2022 to obtain compliance is proposed. Proper ventilation
helps address moisture issues in bathrooms.

Action on a Preliminary Plat for Lots 26-31, Block 6; Lots 1-31, Block 17; Lots 1-5 and 14-29, Block
18; Lots 1-7, Block 19; all in Timberline Addition.
Summary:
The owner is seeking Preliminary Plat approval of 65 new residential lots in Timberline Addition.
Background:
The property is located south of Summit Pass and is zoned R-1C, R-3, and R-1D. The plat extends
to the southern and western City limit boundary line. The general area is developing into residential
with some vacant land to the south and west. Access will be provided via an extension of collector
streets, Summit Pass and Brighton Road, as well as the construction of several local streets. The
Parks Master Plan documents the need for parkland in this growing residential neighborhood. The
Comprehensive Plan shows the area as medium density residential development. The lots range in
size from 9,300 to 24,400 square feet in size, which is consistent with medium to low residential
density.
The drainage flows to the southwest and there will be a detention pond adjacent to West 16th Avenue.
The proposed Lots 3-7, Block 19 are located within the 100 year floodplain. All lots meet the
minimum size and frontage requirements for the associated zoning districts. The blocks and street
right-of-way widths are also in compliance with the Subdivision Regulations. The Engineering
Department has reviewed and approved the preliminary drainage report and there are no other
drainage requirements at this time.
Development Review Team Recommendation:
The Development Review Team, Planning Commission, and staff recommend approval of the
Preliminary Plat with the following contingency:
1.Eliminate the cul-de-sac at the end of Eagle Circle and continue Eagle Avenue to a connecting
street to the south. All the affected lots will need to be designed to meet the Zoning Ordinance
standards.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat with the
following contingency:
1.Eliminate the cul-de-sac at the end of Eagle Circle and continue Eagle Avenue to a connecting
street to the south. All the affected lots will need to be designed to meet the Zoning Ordinance
standards.

Person(s) Responsible: Mike Struck, Community Development Director

Summary:
The owner is seeking Preliminary Plat approval of 65 new residential lots in Timberline
Addition.
Background:
The property is located south of Summit Pass and is zoned R-1C, R-3, and R-1D. The
plat extends to the southern and western City limit boundary line. The general area is
developing into residential with some vacant land to the south and west. Access will be
provided via an extension of collector streets, Summit Pass and Brighton Road as well
as the construction of several local streets. The Parks Master Plan documents the need
for parkland in this growing residential neighborhood. The Comprehensive Plan shows
the area as medium density residential development. The lots range in size from 9,300
to 24,400 square feet in size, which is consistent with medium to low residential density.
The drainage flows to the southwest and there will be a detention pond adjacent to
West 16th Avenue. The proposed Lots 3-7, Block 19 are located within the 100 year
floodplain. All lots meet the minimum size and frontage requirements for the associated
zoning districts. The blocks and street right-of-way widths are also in compliance with
the Subdivision Regulations. The Engineering Department has reviewed and approved
the preliminary drainage report and there are no other drainage requirements at this
time.
Discussion:
The plat shows the next phase of residential development in Timberline Addition. The
proposed lots and street system integrate well into the existing neighborhood. The
Development Review Team (DRT) encourages the developer to eliminate the cul-de-
sac shown as Eagle Circle and continue Eagle Avenue connecting with another street to
the south in a future phase. The Comprehensive Plan promotes better neighborhood
connectivity and the Subdivision Regulations allow cul-de-sacs where they are
necessary for the reasonable development of a subdivision. In this case, all of the cul-
de-sacs are not necessary for the design. A better connected neighborhood with fewer
cul-de-sacs has many advantages including: additional pedestrian and vehicular routes,
better use of local streets with less congestion, decreased street and utility maintenance
costs, easier access for emergency services and solid waste collection.
The Parks Master Plan shows the need for a smaller park in this location. Staff will
work with the developer to reserve parkland in a future phase of development to the
south. The lots located in the floodplain will need to meet the requirements of the
floodplain ordinance prior to issuing a building permit.
Findings of Fact:
1. The Preliminary Plat meets all the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations
with the exception of the cul-de-sacs.
2. All lots meet the minimum size and frontage requirements.
3. The right-of-way widths are adequate.
4. The lots located in the floodplain will need to meet the floodplain ordinance at the
time of building permit. A floodplain development permit is necessary for placing
fill in the floodplain.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Financial Consideration:
None.
Staff Recommendation:
The Development Review Team, Planning Commission, and staff recommend approval
of the Preliminary Plat with the following contingency:
1. Eliminate the cul-de-sac at the end of Eagle Circle and continue Eagle Avenue to
a connecting street to the south. All the affected lots will need to be designed to
meet the Zoning Ordinance standards.

the City & County Government Center. Members present were Tanner Aiken, Greg Fargen,

Block 6; Lots 1-31, Block 17; Lots 1-5 and 14-29, Block 18; Lots 1-7, Block 19; all in
Timberline Addition.
(Pierce/Johnson) Motion to approve the Preliminary Plat with the Development Team Review
recommendation to eliminate the cul-de-sac at the end of Eagle Circle and continue Eagle
Avenue to a connecting street south. All affected lots will need to be designed to meet the
Zoning Ordinance standards. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #5a – This Preliminary Plat will create 65 new residential lots in Timberline Addition.
Rasmussen asked if the owner was amenable to the development review team recommendation
to eliminate the cul-de-sac on Eagle Circle. Justin Bucher, Banner Associates, stated he would
need to consult with the owner about it prior to the Preliminary Plat going on to the City Council.
Fargen asked if Red Rock Drive was part of the Preliminary Plat? Bungard states yes, it will be
needed for access to some of the lots.
Brink asked why the review team favored Eagle Circle to be connected rather than one of the
other proposed cul-de-sacs? Bungard stated because Eagle connects all the way to Steamboat
Trail to the north.
Pierce stated the Comprehensive Plan recommends better connectivity and fewer cul-de-sacs.
Bungard stated the Street Department and Brookings Municipal Utilities (BMU) along with
others favored the connection of Eagle Circle for better efficiency with street maintenance and
utility installation and maintenance.

Introduction and First Reading on Ordinance 19-008, an Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance
of the City of Brookings to include Indoor Recreation Facility as a permitted special use in the
Business B-1 Central District, Business B-2 District, Industrial I-1 Light District, Industrial I-2 Heavy
District, and Industrial I-1R Restricted District.
Summary:
Staff is proposing a zoning ordinance amendment to allow indoor recreation facilities as permitted
special uses in the B-1, B-2, I-1, I-2, and I-1R Districts. The use would be permitted so long as it is
contained within a building and all equipment and materials are stored inside the building.
Background:
Currently, the zoning ordinance allows indoor recreation facilities as a permitted use in the Ag, B-3,
and B-4 districts, as well as in the B-5 by a conditional use permit. All residential districts allow for
public recreational facilities with a conditional use process. Due to a high community demand for
recreational space and citizen requests, staff has prepared an amendment to allow indoor recreation
facilities in five (5) additional business and industrial districts.
Development Review Team Recommendation:
The Development Review Team recommends approval of the zoning ordinance amendment.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
The Planning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the zoning ordinance amendment.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Chairperson Eric Rasmussen called the regular meeting of the City Planning Commission to
order on Thursday, May 7, 2019, at 5:38 PM in the Chambers Room #310 on the third floor of
the City & County Government Center. Members present were Tanner Aiken, Greg Fargen,
Leah Brink, Alan Johnson, Gregg Jorgenson, Lee Ann Pierce and Rasmussen. Absent was
James Drew. Also present were City Planner, Staci Bungard, Community Development Director
Mike Struck, Justin Bucher, and Jacob Mills.
Item #6a – The City of Brookings has submitted a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to include
Indoor Recreation Facilities as a permitted special use in the B-1, B-2, I-1, I-2, and I-1R districts.
(Johnson/Pierce) Motion to approve the Zoning Ordinance Amendment. All present voted aye.
MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #6a –The proposed Zoning Ordinance amendment would allow for indoor recreation
facilities to be a permitted special use in the B-1, B-2, I-1, I-2, and I-1R Districts.
Bungard explained there is demand in the community for additional indoor recreation facilities
and this amendment would help satisfy the community need.
Pierce asked if there is a definition for indoor recreation facility in the ordinance? Struck
responded yes there are several definitions that would already cover this. Pierce asked if an
indoor go cart track or indoor equine facility would be allowed? Bungard stated yes so long as
all activities and equipment are inside a building.
Fargen asked the difference between a permitted use and a permitted special use? Struck
responded a permitted use is a use by right and a permitted special use needs to meet additional
criteria. Rasmussen stated that the use is already allowed as a permitted use in the B-3 and B-4
districts.
Pierce wondered why a permitted special use was favored over a conditional use? Struck stated
because conditional uses are tough to enforce and there are more intensive uses as permitted and
permitted special uses in these districts. Pierce stated she is in favor of the amendment but likes
the conditional use process because it has notification requirements for adjacent property owners.
Struck stated that all equipment and activities would need to be inside a building at all times.
