ORDINANCE NO. 99-4 DEPARTMENT: Planning & Building Services Department RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council adopt Ordinance No. 99-4 regarding an amendment to the Unified Development Code prohibiting vehicles from being parked on the front yard setbacks with exception of the driveway. BACKGROUND As a result of a written complaint by a citizen back in June of 1998, the City Council directed staff to research the possibility of prohibiting vehicles from being parked on front lawns. After researching this issue, staff presented an amendment to the Planning Commission. Following the Commission's recommendation of approval, the City Council continued the item from the March 23,1999 meeting to the April 27, 1999 Council meeting which then was approved and introduced at that meeting. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The amendment as written will not allow vehicles to be parked or stored in the required front yard with the exception of the driveway in any area of the City. In addition, residents will not be allowed to park or store their vehicles in any additional area of a residential lot that is not predominately screened from a public or private street by solid fencing, walls, or vegetation. This provision, however, does not apply to residential lots that are over a quarter of an acre and in the Special Standard Districts of Placenta and Sand Canyon.
