CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: Originating Department: Presented By: Agenda Item No.: <br />March 20, 2008 Code Enforcement Task Lisa A. Wright, Director of <br />Council Date: Force Community Development 29 <br />April 14, 2008 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Move to approve an ordinance amending Article II of Chapter 22 of the Code of <br />Ordinances to adopt regulations for special vehicles, which includes motor homes, <br />motorhouses, campers, camper shells, boats, recreational vehicles, fifth wheel trailers, or <br />other similar vehicles. <br />POLICY ISSUE~S~: <br />Ordinance <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On March 18, 2008, the Code Enforcement Task Force reviewed the existing ordinance <br />regulating travel trailers and motor homes inside the city limits of Paris and has <br />recommended new regulations to address them. The current ordinance does not allow the <br />placement or use of a travel trailer inside the city; however, this ordinance has not been <br />constantly enforced over the years. Large motor homes, boats, and travel trailers are now <br />frequently seen throughout the city, so much so that they are becoming a source of <br />frequently complaints to Code Enforcement because they are parked in the streets, <br />blocking traffic access, and in front driveways, diminishing the aesthetics of the <br />residential neighborhoods. <br />The Task Force did not recommend reverting to the old requirements which prohibited <br />travel trailers from being parked anywhere inside the city limits; however, they did <br />recommend prohibiting parking of such vehicles in streets and front driveways. <br />BOARD~COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />The Code Enforcement Task Force recommended adoption of regulations for special vehicles. <br />EXHIBITS: <br />Ordinance <br />ACTION: BUDGET INFO: <br />^ Financial Report ^ Minute Order Expense $ <br />^ Department Report ^ Resolution Budgeted Amt. $ <br />^ Presentation ®Ordinance YTD Actual $ <br />^ Public Hearing ^ Other Acct.
