MINUTES CITY COUNCIL NOVII~'IBER 9, 1994 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. Ayes (5) LaValle, Scalze, Hanson, Morelan, Pedersen. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. ORDINANCE The City Attorney reported that provisions in the City AMENDMENT - Code and the Zoning Code are inconsistent as relates OFF-STREET to off-street parking of commercial vehicles in the PARKING Residential Zoninq District. The Code amendment before the Council amends the City Code to make the two provisions consistent. LaValle asked if the limitation of 12,000 pounds was too restrictive. The City Administrator pointed out that 12,000 pounds is the Code's current limitation on the size of commercial vehicle that may be parked in a Residential District, and the amendment before the Council does not change this aspect of the ordinance. LaValle was concerned that the 12,000 pound limitation may be too restrictive, and there may be individuals who have a take-home vehicle which exceeds 12,000 pounds. Council noted that there have been no complaints about this portion of the ordinance, noting that a 3/4 ton pick-up truck would weigh between 6,000 and 7,000 pounds. Pedersen suggested that the ordinance amendment contain specific language stating that over-night parking of commercial vehicles as detailed in the Zoning Code is allowed. Mr. Morelan introduced the following ordinance and moved its adoption: ORDINANCE NO. 396 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 403.050.
