COMMISSION ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: TEXT AMENDMENT FOR PUBLIC NUISANCE "PROPERTY MAINTENAN E"
RELATED CHANGES TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE
BACKGROUND:
City Council recently adopted an updated Public Nuisance"Property Maintenance"Code(Chapter
30 of the Ames Municipal Code) that consolidated certain existing standards and augmented the
scope of nuisance enforcement. Concurrently, City Council directed staff to review the Zoning
Ordinance (Chapter 29) for consistency with Chapter 30 and identify if any corresponding
amendments would be needed. Based on this review, staff presented several alternatives for
amendments to the City Council at their October 10, 2023, meeting.
Chapter 30 addresses a wide range of nuisances that are beyond the scope of zoning. However,
Chapter 30 overlaps with Chapter 29 primarily in relation to use issues of outdoor storage and
vehicle parking. The key issues presented to City Council revolved around definitions of vehicles,
trailers, equipment, inoperable/junked vehicles, accessory parking, and storage. Definitions were
found to be inconsistent between the two chapters and the intent of some of the standards was
also unclear. City Council directed staff on how to proceed with updates regarding
definitions, allowances for junked vehicle and recreational vehicle storage, parking of
recreational vehicles, and exemptions of trash container screening requirements for
single-and two-family homes. The primary focus of the amendments is the application of these
standards to single- and two-family homes.
A discussion of the ordinance details is included in the Addendum. Draft ordinance language is
included in Attachment A.A summary of the topics and changes follows.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS:
An explanation of several terms is required to understand the proposed amendments and current
code.
• Vehicles. The Zoning Ordinance currently does not have a definition of"vehicle". It only
defines trucks and equipment (as exceeding 10,000 ibs of gross vehicle weight) and
inoperable vehicles. Vehicle is a broadly defined term within state law for any vehicle that
can travel on a roadway, including cars trucks, recreation vehicles, and trailers. Chapter
30 includes more specific definitions that City Council directed staff to incorporate into
zoning, with adjustments as necessary to reflect the intent of the additional terms.
• Parking v. Storage. Generally, accessory parking is defined as keeping of a vehicle for
under 72 hours related to the principal activity on the site. Storage is defined as keeping
of a vehicle for over 72 hours. Part of the amendment process was ensuring these terms
were used consistently throughout the Zoning Ordinance. It was unclear if these terms
were used intentionally or interchangeably in the current code. Tablas showing what
allowances for parking and storage of vehicles by vehicle type under the current code and
proposed amendments are available in the Addendum. The 72-hour duration requirement
will apply to the vehicle on the site, not to the precise location on the property. The 72
1
hours standards will not restart if a vehicle is moved elsewhere on a property, it must leave
the site.
• Required Parking Spaces. The Zoning Ordinance includes minimum parking
requirements for most uses in all zoning districts. Required parking spaces are those
provided to comply with the minimum number of spaces required under zoning for a given
use. For single- and two-family dwellings, the number of required spaces is two per unit.
These may be provided in a garage or other paved area, such as a driveway, in
conformance with the Zoning Ordinance and can be located either stacked (tandem) or
side-by-side. Tandem parking is only allowed for single and two-family dwellings. Current
Zoning standards prohibit the use of required parking for other purposes, such as display
and storage.
Junked Vehicle Storage Amendments
Currently,junked vehicles (referred to as "inoperable" in the current code) are not permitted to be
stored for more than 30 days. Ames Municipal Code (29.304(3)(a)(iii)) considers"outside storage
of inoperative or unregistered motor vehicles for more than 30 days"to be a prohibited use. This
section is not clear on the number of junked vehicles permitted to be stored. It also highlights the
issue of the use of required parking versus storage in a required parking space.
City Council directed staff to amend the Zoning Ordinance and Property Maintenance Code
to allow one junked vehicle to be stored for no more than 30 days. This is more restrictive
than the current provision that did not specify the quantity of junked vehicles that can be
on a site at one time. Provisions prohibiting parking of junked vehicles in required parking spaces
remain(see 29.406(5)).The proposed amendments and current requirements that apply to junked
vehicles are summarized in Table 1.

30 days When stored in the front yard, required to be
on an approved surface (driveway).
Parking No junked vehicles No changes proposed
Standards parked in required
parking spaces
Recreational Vehicle (RV), Trailer, and Boat Parking and Storage Amendments
Currently, two separate code sections govern the parking and storage of recreational vehicles,
trailers, and boats.
Section 29.406(5) prohibits the use of required parking spaces for vehicles and equipment.
However, 29.406(19), allows:
the parking of one (1) unoccupied travel trailer or recreational vehicle, boat, or boat trailer
is permitted behind the front yard setback of the lot in any district, provided the travel trailer
or recreational vehicle, boat or boat trailer is not used for living quarters or business
purposes.

1
While this provision applies to parking (less than 72 hours), in practice this has been interpreted
to allow for storage outside of the front setback. City Council directed staff to allow one
recreational vehicle, boat, or trailer to be stored (for more than 72 hours) in the side or rear
yard of a property. This clearly permits their storage versus the current code. Only one
recreational vehicle, boat, or trailer is permitted to be stored (not one of each).
Additionally, City Council directed staff to allow one recreational vehicle, boat, or trailer to
be parked for no more than 72 hours in a required parking space to allow for off-street loading
and unloading. Previously, this was only allowed beyond the front setback.
The proposed amendments and current requirements are summarized in Table 2.

Standards behind the front setback district on a driveway (no setback
required)
Trash Receptacle Amendments
Under the current code, trash receptacles for one- and two-family dwellings (e.g., 32 to 96-gallon
carts on wheels or toters) were required to be screened, although staff does not believe the
requirement was enforced. City Council directed staff to remove the screening requirements
for trash receptacles used for single- and two-family dwellings, relaxing the current
requirement.
Vehicles Use for Human Habitation Amendments
Chapter 29.304(3)(a)(ii) of the current code disallows:
Parking of trailers or motor vehicles used for human habitation or any accessory use, except
use incidental to construction or emergency shelter for up to 30 days by persons whose
dwelling has been made uninhabitable by fire or other casualty
The intent of this section is to ensure that only approved dwellings are used for living purposes in
all zoning districts. The changes are to address the updated definitions for various vehicle types.
Definition Amendments
Chapter 30 includes definitions of vehicles, trailers, semitrailers, and junked (formerly inoperable)
vehicles. To maintain consistency, City Council directed staff to modify definitions within the
Zoning Ordinance.
Staff also added or amended definitions for all-terrain vehicles, equipment, commercial trucks,
habitation, accessory parking, and commercial parking to assist in the administration of these
3
requirements. More information on why these definitions were amended can be found in the
Addendum.
Amendment Options
City Council did not direct staff to reconsider the duration of parking and storage terms (less or
more than 72 hours), only how they applied to certain situations. Council elected to allow storage
of one boat, trailer, or recreational vehicle, not one of each item (the exception being an item on
a trailer). City Council also maintained all the driveway, front yard, and other paving requirements
as it relates to parking and storage. This means that all parking and storage of vehicles, trucks,
equipment, trailers, recreational vehicles, etc. must occur in a parking area and meet paving
requirements.The requirement for required parking spaces to be available for vehicle parking and
not be displaced by other items continues with the proposed changes.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend that the City Council adopt the Public Nuisance "Property Maintenance"
related amendments to the Zoning Ordinance as presented.
2. Recommend that the City Council adopt the Public Nuisance "Property Maintenance"
related amendments to the Zoning Ordinance with modifications.
3. Recommend that the City Council take no action to amend the Zoning Ordinance for
consistency with the Public Nuisance "Property Maintenance" Code.
PLANNING AND HOUSING DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION:
The proposed changes do not substantially alter the general allowances and prohibitions for
parking and storage. The most substantial changes are for junked vehicles (30-day storage
allowance for one) and recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers (storage and parking allowance
for one). The current Ordinance is unclear on these allowances/prohibitions, and enforcement
was limited or did not occur. As a result, these changes will not cause a great shift in staffs
administration of the code.
The attached draft language will be refined in coordination with the CityAttorney's office to prepare
a draft ordinance for City Council review and approval. At the time City Council considers the
proposed Chapter 29 changes, they will also review related amendments to Chapter 30 Public
Nuisance"Property Maintenance", Streets and Sidewalks (Chapter 22), and Parking (Chapter 18)
code chapters. As these chapters are not under the purview of the Commission, they are not
presented as part of this report.
The proposed changes do provide needed clarifications on vehicle definitions, definitions of
parking versus storage, and eliminate confusion on what code enforcement or nuisance
abatement procedures apply. As a result, the recommendation of the Planning and Housing
Department is Alternative 1.

ADDENDUM
Parking and Storage Tables
Vehicle Storage standards are summarized within Table 4, which compares current code
requirements to the proposed amendments by vehicle type. Most vehicle storage is currently
prohibited; however, outdoor storage is permitted in certain commercial and industrial zoning
districts. These exceptions are proposed to remain. Exceptions for vehicle storage incidental to
construction activities on site are also proposed.
The main changes proposed to the outdoor vehicle storage standards are for junked vehicles
(30-day allowance for one), which is less permissive than the current code. The amendments
for recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers (storage allowance for one) are more permissive
than the current code. Storage inside is still permissible if it does not occupy required parking
spaces.

Vehicle Parking comparisons are included within Table 5. The only change to vehicle parking
standards is the allowance for one recreational vehicle, boat, or trailer to be parked on the
driveway in a required parking space. Under the current Zoning Ordinance, one is permitted to
be parked behind the front setback.
Similar to the vehicle storage amendments, exceptions are proposed to allow parking if otherwise
allowed by individual zone standards. Commercial parking is permitted in certain commercial and
industrial zoning districts. Commercial parking is generally defined as short- or long-term parking
as a principal use and is not accessory or used as parking for another use on the site. Exceptions
for vehicle parking incidental to construction are also proposed.

Definitions
Staff is proposing to amend or define several terms:
• All-terrain vehicles.Ali-terrain vehicles were defined so that they could be included in the
definition of a vehicle. State law now allows them on State Highways and communities
may regulate their use of roadways. This also helps to enforce parking in the front yard
standards.
• Equipment and Commercial Trucks (proposed as separate definitions). Trucks and
equipment was previously one definition and did not specifically define equipment. These
terms were separated so that equipment(construction equipment, drilling equipment, etc.)
could be defined. The term commercial vehicles (inclusive of trucks) was introduced as a
new term to distinguish from light-duty trucks, which are considered common passenger
and light-duty types of vehicles. The definition for Commercial Vehicles based upon weight
largely remains the same.
• Habitation. Habitation was previously not defined but referenced in a prohibition on using
vehicles for habitation. Clarification on how habitation was determined was needed
(overnight accommodation is proposed).
• Accessory and Commercial Parking (proposed as separate definitions). Only accessory
parking (parking that serves another principal use on a site) was defined with the
establishment of the 72-hr standard. Commercial parking was not defined and not
distinguished from storage. Commercial parking is generally defined as short-or long-term
parking as a principal use and is not accessory or used as parking for another use on the
site. It is permitted in certain commercial and industrial zoning districts.
