In re : Front Yard Parking Ordinance
Dear Mayor Goodland and Council Members :
With this is a form of ordinance relative to front yard parking
that has evolved from proposals of the Planning and Housing
staff, some ideas of my own , comments of City Council members ,
and discussions with management , engineering and inspection
staff.
It has the effect of putting new restrictions on front yard
parking in those non-residential districts where it is allowed,
as well as allowing it , subject to restrictions , in areas where
it is now prohibited.
It also prohibits the use of gravel or crushed rock , and requires
asphalt or Portland cement concrete surfacing in all future
parking areas and driveways .
The matter will be presented for hearing and first reading at
a later meeting, probably May 7 , because staff is still con-
sidering some aspects of the ordinance .
Respectfully submitted,
John R. Klaus
City Attorney
