TO: Mayor Campbell and Members of the City Council
FROM: Judy K. Parks, Assistant City Attorne,
DATE: October 24, 2008
SUBJECT: Front Yard Parking ordinance revision for Chapter 18-Parking
The Council Action form concerning the proposed zoning text amendment to define"front yard"
for clarification of the existing front yard parking regulations in Chapter 29 explains the history
underlying the need for this amendment.
That report also mentioned very briefly that the current Parking Regulations of the Ames
Municipal Code, found in Chapter 18,contain a front yard parking prohibition which has used the
same language as the front yard parking prohibition of Chapter 29. The amendment of the Chapter
18 provision is recommended so that the front yard parking provisions will be consistent in both
locations of the City Code. Attached is a proposed ordinance to amend Section 18.15 of the Ames
Municipal Code so that it will become consistent with Section 29.406.
We are asking for your favorable consideration of this proposed ordinance.
