properties and public streets with exceptions. Construction equipment, not being <br />currently used on the premises, must be kept indoors or be screened from view. <br />Proposed Amendments <br />Staff has drafted a proposed amendment to Section 802 of the City Code relating to on - <br />street parking requirements. The proposed amendment would prohibit parking of trucks <br />exceeding 12,000 pounds licensed gross vehicle weight (weight of vehicle plus carrying <br />capacity), trailers and similar sized vehicles including recreational vehicles, on public <br />streets. The ordinance is not limited to residential districts but rather applies uniformly <br />across the city. The ordinance does allow for vehicles of this type to park on -street if <br />actively loading, unloading or performing a service. <br />Boat and boat trailer parking is exempted from the ordinance requirements. <br />Additionally, the ordinance provides for a recreational vehicle on -street parking waiver, <br />available through the police department. The waiver would allow limited parking of <br />recreational vehicles (two week maximum in a calendar month) subject to certain <br />evaluation factors. <br />The gross vehicle weight rating (12,000 pounds) is slightly higher than what is allowed <br />by the zoning ordinance requirements regarding off-street parking. This threshold <br />generally separates single rear wheel trucks such as a Ford F-350 from a similar dual <br />rear wheel vehicle. For example the gross vehicle weight rating for a single rear wheel <br />Ford F-350 can approach 11,500 pounds. A dual wheel version of the same truck <br />begins at 12,600. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff is recommending adoption of Ordinance No. 14-11. <br />Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 11-66, approving a summary of the <br />ordinance for publication. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
