and
Ordinance 1685 establishes that applicants that are not allowed to obtain a single-family rental license because
of the density limits will be able to request an exemption which shall be reviewed by city staff; and,
If the applicant receives a negative ruling on its exemption request they may appeal to the City Council which
the Council has sole discretion to grant the exemption request for a specified period of time; and,
The City has received a request from the owner of 4538 4th Street NE, Columbia Heights, MN 55421 to renew
the exception for the property and allow an additional year of renewal resulting in two total years.
