STATUS OF ISSUE: <br />City Staff have developed the attached proposed amendment, adding 9B -10-111(c). This would <br />make it illegal to park a vehicle on 1) any vacant residential lot and 2) any unimproved and <br />unsurfaced (non-residential) vacant lot. The prohibition in #1 disallows improved and/or surfaced <br />residential vacant lots. A defense to this ordinance is when the vehicle is successfully screened <br />pursuant to our codes under Article 4.11. <br />A cleanup edit is proposed for 9B -10-111(d) to add "four -family dwelling district (4F)" to the list <br />of residential districts, which should complete the list of all residential districts. <br />Pursuant to section 913-21 of the Zoning ordinances, before the City Council can take action on <br />this item, it must first appear before the Planning and Zoning Commission to review and consider <br />a recommendation to send to the council. Should the City Council tonight find it fit to pursue this <br />proposed amendment, it would be scheduled to appear at the June 3, 2024 P&Z Commission <br />meeting. It would then be brought back to the City Council. <br />BUDGET: <br />There are no significant budgetary implications due to this amendment. Some enforcement costs <br />as well as fines may occur, but these would be minimal amounts as compared to the budget. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Authorize the draft amendment to 913-10-111 and send to the P&Z Commission for <br />consideration. <br />2. Request edits to the draft amendment to then be brought back for City Council review prior <br />to being sent to the P&Z Commission. <br />3. Reject the proposed amendment. <br />4. Request additional information. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />1. Authorize the draft amendment to 913-10-111 and send to the P&Z Commission for <br />consideration. <br />
