GARY STEINECKERT Gary Steineckert reported on the progress he has made since first speaking with the City Council.

Council Member Paul Dastup asked about the fire hazard next to the neighboring property. Mr. Steineckert replied that he is making progress with the pile. Mayor Kim Soper asked if the Council could meet with Mr. Steineckert to look at the property. It was agreed they would meet October 27th to look at the property. VACATION RENTALS Meagan Cooper reported to the City Council that after researching multiple cities vacation rental ordinances her suggestions are that residents be allowed up to three vacation rentals and nonresidents' allowed one vacation rental. She also suggested that Panguitch City grandfather in existing vacation rentals and put a moratorium on any new vacation rentals until a new ordinance has been passed. Mayor Kim Soper suggested a 90 day moratorium while the City Council looks through all the information and comes to a decision. Council Member Paul Dastrup researched within Panguitch how community members felt about vacation rentals. He found that most want to see limits set on vacation rentals and that some want vacation rentals allowed in only specific areas. He suggested a moratorium be placed. He feels existing vacation rentals should be grandfathered in, a density requirement be set, that vacation rentals in residential zones should only be primary residents and that there should not be a density requirement in commercial zones Council Member Alan Johnson stated that he is in favor of two vacation rentals per resident and one for nonresidents but not the density requirements. He feels if home owners can't do vacation rentals then they will sell before going to long term rentals. Council Member Mark Boshell thanked everyone for all the information provided. He mentioned that the city currently only allows vacation rentals in residential zones with a conditional use permit. Council Member Mike Sarles stated that creating a number of vacation rentals per resident could have issues. He is not in favor of a moratorium because there is a conditional use process in place. If a moratorium is placed he feels commercial properties and vacation rentals within primary resident's homes should be excluded. He feels if the City pushes for long term rentals then the rental rates will increase. Council Member Trudi Owens stated that she appreciates everyone's providing information. She stated she feels a moratorium needs to be placed while an ordinance is drafted and passed. Trudi Owens moved, seconded by Mark Boshell to place a moratorium up to 90 days on all new vacation rentals excluding those who have already applied, those in commercial zones and those renting from the home they live in. The motion passed. Alan Johnson abstained. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ZONE Signage and crosswalks at the elementary school were discussed. The Mayor and Sheriff Perkins will meet with the Principal and decide on what is needed for safety. Council Members Trudi Owens and Alan Johnson will meet with school facility to paint the cross walks. INDUSTRIAL PARK ROAD Council Member Paul Dastrup drew up two options for dividing the property in the industrial park. Paul Dastrup moved, seconded by Alan Johnson to partner with Kaibab on the south road in option 2 for the industrial park. The motion passed with all in favor.
