SECOi�� REACfi�!G AND ADOPTION

ITEM EXPLANATION�
A. BACKGROUND
1 . On March 9 Council considered a'report from the City ,Attorney on the above
captioned item and referred it to staff with direction to supply backup material . The
original ordinance prepared by the City Attorney prohibited the parking of vehicles in
all side yards as well as front yards and parkway areas. The ordinance also provided a
means of collecting the cost of abating the violation from the violator.
2. The situation which led to the preparation of the ordinance relates to a concern
expressed by Councilman Scott over the parking of automobiles in exposed yard areas in
the residential zones. Staff investigated the matter and determined that while several
sections of the zoning ordinance could be construed to prohibit such parking, the ordin-
ance should be clarified, particularly with regard to parking in exterior side yards on
corner lots. �
' B. DISCUSSION
The ordinance prepared by the City Attorney was intended to prohibit the parking of
vehicles in unfenced side yards which are adjacent to a street, as in a corner lot situ-
ation. This has been clarified by amending the language of the ordinance as follows
" . . . removal of vehicles from private property in the front yard, unfenced exterior
side yard and parkway �����:: areas . . . " Also, the ordinance should apply in all zones,
rather than just the residential zones. The revised ordinance also makes this change.
