He requested a recommendation from committee moving forward. Planning Director Rick Sepler was present to answer questions. Committee asked questions and had a discussion following the presentation. Michael Lilliquist moved to direct staff to proceed with the type 6 process to develop an ordinance that prohibits restrictive covenants except when those restrictive covenants are both short in duration and limited in distance, and to have the ordinance look at allowing restrictive covenants in a single managed entity so long as that restriction does not outlast the use that is being protected, and that staff bring back a draft ordinance as a check in before it proceeds through the type 6 process to the Planning Commission.
