Consider 2nd Reading Ordinance No. 14-11, On -street Parking Requirements ACTION REQUIRED: BACKGROUND: ii. Consider Resolution No. 11-66 Approving Summary Ordinance for Publication Simple Majority Following receipt of a resident complaint regarding on -street parking of construction vehicles the City Council requested an overview of existing on -street parking requirements. The City Council reviewed existing on -street and off-street parking requirements at the May 2, 2011 work session. Council directed staff to draft an ordinance prohibiting certain vehicles from parking on city streets. A draft ordinance was presented to the council at the June 6, 2011 work session. Following review and discussion the council directed staff to place the ordinance on the June 13 council meeting agenda for consideration. The City Council approved the first reading of the ordinance on June 13, 2011. If approved, the ordinance will be in effect 30 days after publication. ANALYSIS Existing Requirements Section 802 of the City Code establishes requirements for on -street parking. The City's winter parking restrictions, found in Section 802.06 of the code, are the only requirements that limit parking on city streets. These requirements are only applicable from November to April and limit on -street parking between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. The City Zoning Ordinance regulates the parking of vehicles on rural or residential property. The ordinance prohibits parking vehicles exceeding 11,075 pounds on a residential property unless an administrative permit has been issued complying with certain conditions. No requirements are established specifically for construction vehicles. Nor do the zoning requirements regulate on -street parking. The Zoning Ordinance does require that all personal property in a residential zoning district be stored within a building or fully screened so as not to be visible from adjoining
