MEMORANDUM <br />To:Mayor Stille and St. Anthony Village City Council <br />From:Stephen Grittman, City Planner <br />Date:March 23, 2023 <br />Meeting Date:March 28, 2023 <br />RE:Council Work Session: Code Committee Updates <br />NAC Project No.323.02 – 23.01 <br />OVERVIEW <br />The staff Code Committee has continued to meet and work through a series of City Code issues and <br />updates.

They include the following: <br />1.Residential Parking (and code language distinguishing parking and storage). <br />2.Temporary Structures. <br />3.Temporary Signage. <br />4.Various Administrative amendments (including clean-up of prior changes). <br />Residential Parking. <br />The first of these, Residential Parking, is an overhaul of various parking code sections. The purpose of <br />these amendments is to separate and define vehicular parking on residential property, and distinguish it <br />from general storage.
