parcel are utilized for making this calculation. There is often a misunderstanding on the part of property <br />owners that their property (and thus their calculation of impervious surface) extends to the public street <br />curb line. <br />Planning Commission Comment: Recommended adding reference to pavers as impervious <br />surfaces, to clarify that they are included in this calculation due to St. Anthony’s soils conditions <br />and other factors. This addition was made to the draft. <br />Scavengers <br />This item removes the requirement for City license to “scavenge” street-side refuse that has been set <br />out for removal. However, it requires property owner permission for such persons to remove any such <br />refuse, and requires that property owners retain responsibility for any refuse placed outside for <br />removal. <br />As a part of the City Council discussion, concern was raised as to items that residents might <br />place as the curb with a “Free” sign attached. It should be noted that a resident who places <br />property at the curb with a sign designating that property as “Free”, such sign would constitute <br />permission of the property owner for others to help themselves to the property. This activity <br />would be consistent with the proposed language. <br />Again, this amendment merely removes the City licensing requirement, but retains the <br />regulatory requirements for this activity. <br />Rodents <br />This language closes a missing definition loophole from prior amendments, establishing what animals <br />fall into this class for purposes of housing maintenance and rental housing operations. <br />Amusement Devices <br />This section is proposed for deletion, as it refers to an obsolete business (arcade). <br />The Council’s discussion noted that while this section is being deleted, it has the effect primarily <br />of removing the City’s licensing requirements for such businesses. Those businesses are <br />otherwise still allowed in the City’s commercial district as entertainment venues. <br />Sign Removal <br />This clause is being inserted to specify sign enforcement process on non-single family property. The <br />existing requirements in this section require notice of cessation, and create a process for City-initiated <br />removal and cost recovery. However, for single family property, the City’s process has been to seek <br />compliance without City-initiated removal. Thus, the additional clarity removes R-1, R-1A, and R-2 <br />property from this enforcement process. The added text will read as follows: <br />157.29 ENFORCEMENT REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL. All signs, greater than six (6) square feet per <br />side and within a Commercial (C), Light Industrial (LI), Planned Unit Development (PUD), <br />Townhomes (R3) or Multiple Dwellings (R4) zoning district shall be subject to the requirements <br />of this subsection: <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff is seeking comment and consideration of the City Council for the first of three readings of the <br />proposed code amendments. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Proposed Ordinance No. 2026-01
