Title

Discussion on Residential Rental Property Regulations

 

Body

Issue/Request:

Discussion over progress developing Residential Rental Property Regulations.

 

Key Issues:

To preserve the integrity and safety of housing options within the City, protect the rights of renters, and preserve the standards of the surrounding neighborhoods, it is desired to have a discussion on potential rental inspection and proactive code enforcement measures within the City. 

 

This discussion will be an update on the progress made since the September 2017 CEDC meeting.  A staffing and fee estimate for the program will be presented.  Staff is seeking feedback on the assumptions and estimates.

 

Proposed Committee Motion:

N/A

 

Background:

In December of 2011, Mr. Mark Dunning presented information to the CEDC regarding potential Rental Inspection programs for discussion. 

 

In August of 2017, a discussion with CEDC occurred, and staff was directed to prepare an ordinance for review and discussion within 6 months.  As part of the program development process, we are updating CEDC on the progress made each month and having a public discussion. 

 

In September of 2017, a review of existing programs located throughout the metro was presented along with a proposed framework for a Lee's Summit program.  The discussion also included the proposed next steps in the program development process.
