<br />Discussion Item: Off-Street Parking <br />Requirements <br /> <br />~ ' <br />~. [1 <br />eit)' of ~ <br />RAMSEY <br /> <br />By: Sylvia Frolik, Interim Community Development Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Commission will recall that a large majority of code enforcement complaints to the City are related to <br />junk vehicles. Currently, City Code does not place any restrictions on the number of vehicles that can be <br />stored on a residential parcel, only that any vehicles be licensed and operable. Operability has been very <br />difficult to establish, however, and the City's legal counsel has advised Staff to revise tile ordinance. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 6, 2007 on proposed changes to the Off- <br />Street Parking requirements that would place a limit on the actual number of vehicles and recreational <br />equipment per residential parcel. There was citizen input at the hearing, both for and against placing <br />additional restrictions on off-street parking. The Planning Commission felt that the limits proposed by Staff <br />were unreasonable, and directed Staff to consider options that would limit the percentage of impervious <br />surface available for off-street parking, rather than limiting the number of vehicles. <br /> <br />Staff will be prepared to present some alternatives at the meeting, for regulating off-street parking along <br />with some pros and cons. . <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />1. Planning Commission meeting minutes dated September 6, 2007 <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Discuss tile options presented at the meeting, and give Staff direction for preparation of a new code <br />amendment <br /> <br />PC: 12.6.07 <br /> <br />77 <br />
