REGULAR BUSINESS
8. Jefferson County Provisions for Water and Septic – Randy Marx, Environmental Health
Specialist, Public Environmental Health
a. Synopsis
In the January 3, 2024 Planning Commission meeting, training topics were proposed for
the January 20 Planning Commission Retreat. Two topics were requested: 1) Background on
Tribes involved in County planning and outreach, and 2) Public Environmental Health training on
septic and water requirements related to residential development in Jefferson County.
Training on Tribes and current issues was covered during the Retreat. However, Public
Environmental Health information required more time than was available in the Retreat, so was
scheduled for March 6.
It is a timely topic as the PC is contemplating code amendments allowing more rural residential
dwelling units, or larger “families” on individual rural parcels. Under consideration is congregate
housing, boarding houses, tiny home cluster housing, and similar patterns of housing. Septic and
water considerations shape what development standards are possible, or may affect the
affordability of developments.
b. Assignment
In the February 21, 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission was asked to provide
Community Development with advance questions for Public Environmental Health’s

consideration, and which would be redistributed to the whole Planning Commission for review
and consideration. No questions were received by Community Development. Community
Development generated a list of possible questions, shared with Public Environmental Health,
and provided in this agenda packet. Please review these questions and prepare to share your
questions and concerns that are not on this list.
c. Options & Decisions
Information provided by Public Environmental Health will assist in the Planning
Commission’s understanding and development of rural housing proposals. A future presentation
could include information from Community Development’s Building Division, if considered
necessary by the Planning Commission.
9. Review of Short-Term Rentals by Planning Commission
a. Synopsis
The Planning Commission will have upcoming discussions about Short-Term Rental
issues and possible future regulations addressing types of transient rentals (less
than 30 days duration). Community Development proposed a short discussion by
the Planning Commission about how this topic could be addressed, such as in a
sub-committee.
b. Assignment
Have a brief discussion to decide if establishing a sub-committee would be
beneficial in consideration of the details involved in the subject of transient
rentals, or otherwise discuss how short-term rental topics might be reviewed and
recommendations developed.
c. Options & Decisions
Create a sub-committee or other plan for developing adequate information to
make recommendations on transient rentals in Jefferson County.
