HomeMy WebLinkAboutMinutes PC 09-19-23 • Bulked purchases of SF homes can reduce the supply and make it difficult for people looking to purchase a home • This proposal would add a new paragraph to Section 7.20 Owners Association Standards in the UDO • Staff is recommending this goes to the Residential Committee with them having final voting authority Public Comments: Cathy Newport,The Grove at the Legacy: This is going on in my neighborhood and is a problem. Commission Comments: Grabow: Is there a way for the City to tabulate the volume of this issue?Adrienne Keeling: There are ways we can compile homestead exemptions of a particular geographic area but is more suited for smaller geographies such as subdivisions. Zoccola: I know from experience, it is very difficult for HOAs to have 75%of their members to show up to vote, so lowering the threshold is for the better.Can you provide this information to future HOA meetings?Adrienne Keeling: We can report this to the City's HOA neighborhood network,but this only implies to new subdivisions and not existing subdivisions. Kirsh: This is a no brainer and I recommend we forward this onto the City Council for their adoption. Sergey Grechukhin: The HOA covenants are private contractual documents. They have to comply with zoning and state statutory requirements at the time of their adoption. This particular amendment will not affect private contractual documents that are already in place. Grabow: If we can't go above 50%,we can't reach majority. Getting a specific number of ballots being cast can be very difficult. Maybe we include 50%of cast ballots by homeowners. The intent is to make whole-sale renter properties more difficult. What's the enforcement provision on this?Sergey Grechukhin: The new development would be heard by this Plan Commission and this specific requirement could incorporated into the DP/ADLS approval.We can also enforce a zoning regulation and then a court determination if necessary.Alexia Lopez: During the Primary Plat or Secondary Plat process,we do ask for the covenants and at this time we can look for this wording. Buckler: Can we amend the wording and add 50%plus 1 of all homeowners?Zoccola: The way it is drafted now, it is up to 50%.HOAs can pick less than the majority if they wanted to.Kirsh: We have provided Staff and Counsel with enough dialect and comments. I vote to bring this back to the full Plan Commission in October and not at the Committee meeting to allow Staff to digest thisand make their changes based on our comments.
