PARKING ANALYSIS Staff has drafted a revision to Section 3 Subdivision 5.K that brings all of the residential parking criteria together. Regulations are not changing from current enforcement, but have been reorganized for ease of use. Additionally, environmental options have been added to the list of acceptable paving materials, when approved by the City Engineer. At the direction of the Planning and Zoning Board, trailers will be regulated in the same manner as Recreational Vehicles. As such the definitions of both have been clarified and the Recreational Vehicle section of the ordinance has been modified slightly. EXTERIOR STORAGE ANALYSIS Staff is proposing to remove RV/Trailer storage from this section and place it within the new residential parking section of the ordinance, and to add refuse and recyclable materials to the list as a reference to the appropriate section regarding these items, which in some cases may be stored outside. PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD The Board held a Public Hearing for this item at each meeting between July and October. The Board ultimately recommended approval of the changes contained in Ordinance Number 12 -09, with a vote of 4-2. The Board was pretty evenly split on two specific issues, the hours of operations for the third tier of Home Occupations and the requirement of a permit and fee for the second tier of Home Occupations. With a 4-3 vote the Board recommended eliminating the permit and fee for tier two and also to extend the hours of operation for tier three. RECOMMENDATION Staffs is recommending that the City Council dispense with the full reading and approve the first reading of Ordinance Number 12 -09, with the permit and fee for Home Occupation Level B of the Home Occupation section reinstated as previously drafted.
