FROM: CITY MANAGER~
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # /O~ - MEETING OF JANUARY 14, 1992
ORDINANCE NO. 87-91 (TRUCK PARKING)
DATE: JANUARY 9, 1992
This is second reading of an ordinance amending Section 4.6.13 of
the Land Development Regulations with respect to the parking of
trucks within the R-lA zoning district.
At the City Commission's regular meeting on November 26, 1991,
the proposed ordinance was reviewed and approved on first
reading. On December 10, 1991, Commission opened a public
hearing on same and continued the matter to January 14, 1992, to
allow time for the Planning and Zoning Board to hold the required
public hearing and formulate a recommendation. This hearing was
held on December 16, 1991, and is discussed in the accompanying
memorandum from Lula Butler.
The proposed text amendment would address some of the major
problems affecting R-lA zoned neighborhoods as opposed to maximum
restrictions that currently exist for all other residential
zoning districts. The suggested language provides a restriction
against the parking of trucks of one and one-half (1-1/2) ton or
greater capacity within all R-lA zoning districts. The change to
the allowable size vehicle that would be legal to park lessens
the impact to the small businessperson who might have their own
lawn service, delivery service or construction business. It
would eliminate the ability for 18-wheelers, dump trucks, loading
trucks and other large commercial vehicles from being parked
within these residential neighborhoods. The ordinance further
proposes that no more than two (2) trucks may be parked on a lot
improved with a residence, and any such vehicle must be used by a
resident of the premises.
The Planning and Zoning Board supported the amendments and
recommended approval of the proposed ordinance by a vote of 6-0.
Recommend consideration of Ordinance No. 87-91 on second and
final reading.

RE: PUBLIC HEARING ON TRUCK ORDINANCE/REGULAR COMMISSION
MEETING OF JANUARY 1~,, 1992
DATE: JANUARY 8, 1992
ITEM BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION:
Public Hearing and approval of proposed amendment to Chapter 4,
Section 4.6.13 of the LDR's regulating the parking and storage of
cars, boats and trucks within the R-1-A zoning districts.
BACKGROUND:
The proposed amendment was reviewed and approved on first reading
at the regular City Commission meeting of November 26, 1992. The
Planning & Zoning Board considered the ordinance at their meeting
of December 9, 1991 and held a Public Hearing on the same on
December 16, 1991. One resident who would be affected by the
restrictions on truck parking was present and addressed the Board
with his concerns. He opposed the approval of the ordinance
because of the lack of available and affordable, secured
commercial parking facilities within the City limits. He talked
of the risk residents take if such vechicles were to be parked
away from their homes.
After much discussion, the Planning & Zoning Board supported the
amendments to the LDR's in support of restricting the parking and
storage of large trucks in all R-1-A zoning districts by a vote
of 6-0. The proposed ordinance is now before the City Commission
for the final Public Hearing.
RECOMMENDATION:
We would recommend City Commission approval of the amendments to
Chapter 4, Section 4.6.13 of the LDR's regulating the parking and
storage of cars, boats and trucks within R-1-A zoning districts
as proposed and approved by P&Z.

FROM: CITY MANAGER~
ORDINANCE NO. 87-91
DATE: December 6, 1991
This is a second reading of an ordinance amending the Land
Development Regulations to provide for the placing of restrictions on
truck parking in the R-lA (Single Family Residential) zone district.
Previously, the Commission has considered ordinances designed to
restrict the parking of trucks and other commercial vehicles in the
R-lA zoning districts. However, as this issue was not resolved and
the parking of trucks and other commercial vehicles continues to be
perceived as one of the primary causes of blighted conditions in the
R-lA district this ordinance is being brought back before you.
As proposed, this ordinance provides for the parking of a maximum of
two, one and one-half (! 1/2) ton trucks on lots in the R-lA zoning
districts. This provision is less restrictive than the ordinances
previously proposed; thus, minimizing the impact on the small
business person who may need to park his work vehicle at home.
A detailed staff report is attached as backup material for this item.
The Planning and Zoning Board is scheduled to hold public hearing on
this item at their December 16, 1991 meeting. As this item has been
advertised for public hearing by the Commission at this meeting,
staff recommends that the Commission open the public hearing and
continue final action on this ordinance to your January 14, 1992
regular meeting.
Recommend continuation of the public hearing on Ordinance No. 87-91
until January 14, 1992.

RE: PROPOSED AMENDMENTTO TRUCK PARKING WITHIN RL1-A ZONING
DISTRICTS
DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 1991
ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION:
Review of proposed amendment to Chapter 4, Section 4.6.13
regulating the parking and storage of commercial vehicles, boats,
trucks and similar vehicles within R-1-A zoning districts
throughout the City. Directing a review and recommendation from
Planning & Zoning Board and provide direction to staff on
required Public Hearing date.
BACKGROUND:
The City Commission has had several opportunities to review
proposed amendments to Section 4.6.13 that were attempting to
include some restriction to the parking of trucks and other
commercial vehicles in R-1-A zoning districts. The item was
first presented to the Commission in October, 1990 (Ordinance #
54-90) and reviewed at a workshop meeting on November 7, 1990,
revised and brought back to the Commission after P & Z review and
recommendations under Ordinance 99-91 on February 12, 1991 for
Public Hearing, at which time the ordinance was denied on a 5-0
vote from the Commission.
The parking of large commercial and other trucks continue to be
one of the primary causes of blighted conditions within R-1-A
zoning districts. We continue to receive complaints on such
matters and the Neighborhood Task Team (NTT) continue to support
some restrictions being imposed to truck parking in R-1-A zoning
districts. Therefore, we are bringing this item before the
Commission again, with modifications that may be less impacting
on the small business person who would need to have the ability
to park his work vehicle at his home.
Truck Parking Ordinance
November 19, 1991
Page 2
The proposed text amendment would address some of the major
problems affecting R-1-A zoned neighborhoods as opposed to
maximum restrictions that currently exist for all other
residential zoning districts. It is staff's opinion that if we
can mitigate the larger problems, in time, we might be able to
further amend the codes to unify truck parking restrictions for
all residential neighborhoods. Also, consideration is given to
the fact that there are no commercial and/or recreational vehicle
parking facilities within the City except for the opportunities
that exist with storage firms. Their fees are based on the size
of the vehicle and space available.
The suggested amended language being recommended is as follows:
To amend Section 4.6.13 (B) (1) by adding a new second
sentence which would read "In all R-1-A Zoning
Districts, the restrictions shall apply to trucks of
one and one-half (1 1/2) ton, or greater, capacity.
The change to the allowable size vehicle that would be legal to
park, lessens the impact to the small business person who might
have their own lawn service, delivery service or construction
business. It would eliminate the ability for eighteen (18)
wheelers, dump trucks, loading trucks and other large commercial
vehicles from being parked within these residential
neighborhoods. We would further propose to include the following
language:
In all residential zoning districts, no more than two
(2) trucks may be parked on a lot improved with a
residence. Such vehicle must be used by a resident of
the premises. For purposes of this section a lot
includes the property on which the residence is located
and any adjacent lot which is under the control of the
owner or lessee of the residence. Parking on vacant
lots is otherwise prohibited.
RECOMMENDATION:
We would recommend that the City Commission approve the proposed
amendment to Section 4.6.13 of the LDR's providing for
restriction to truck parking within R-1-A zoning districts and
direct the Planning & Zoning Board to review and hold required
public hearings on the same prior to a formal public hearing and
