SUBJECT: AMEND THE ZONING CODE PROHIBITING VEHICLES FROM

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.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
None by this action
