TITLE: Ordinance Nos. 2018-23 (TXT-18-034) and 2018-24 (TXT-18-097), Second Readings. Amending ULDC Chapter 25-Parking and Loading Regulations and Chapter 53-Zoning Regulations related to parking and storage of certain vehicles
Recommended Action
The Planning and Zoning Advisory Board recommends that the Commission approve the proposed amendments to the Unified Land Development Code as shown in Ordinance Nos. 2018-23 and 2018-24.
Summary of Commission-Directed Revisions to Ordinance No. 2018-23
At the September 11, 2018 hearing on the first reading of the ordinances, the Commission directed staff to do the following:
1. Remove requirement for additional parking to accommodate additional demand for parking due to the new allowance for outside storage of vehicles as an accessory use where mini-storage/ warehousing is allowed as the principal use.
2. Add cross-references to City Code Chapters 59 and 74 in AG District-Section 53-35 Parking requirements; RMF District-Section 53-157 Parking requirements; and AC Design Regulations-Section 55-8 Parking requirements.
3. Confer with the Assistant City Attorney regarding the language in Section 53-240 Special Structures, (T) Modular/manufactured homes and recreational vehicles, and whether it is all still necessary given the recent ordinance adopting revisions to the City Code regarding parking and storage of vehicles on residential lots.
The following was discussed and addressed in a different way:
4. Sec. 25-19 was repealed in its entirety and "reserved" for future amendments. A suggestion was made to retain the section and use it to refer to City Code Chapters 59 and 74. Staff searched for any remaining references to Section 25-19 elsewhere in the ULDC and found none. In lieu of adding a cross reference in this section, one was added to the GENERAL REFERENCES at the beginning of Chapter 25.
