That ordinance was <br />presented to the Planning Commission for a public hearing on March 6, 2008. The main points <br />of the proposed ordinance are as follows: <br />1. 5 items allowed for outdoor storage and parking on parcels less than 5 acres in size. <br />2. 8 items allowed for outdoor storage and parking on parcels 5 acres or more in size. <br />Following the public hearing on March 6, the Planning Commission tabled any action for <br />additional consideration. City Staff did check with the Police Department, and the complaint <br />data base does not distinguish a difference between complaints based on number of items being <br />stored in a yard versus a complaint generated because of the condition of items being stored <br />outside. Since abatement was implemented in August of 2007, the Police Department has <br />performed 9 abatements to remove junk vehicles and debris from properties, and mow down tall <br />grass and weeds. <br />Planning Commission / April 3, 2008 <br />Page 19 of 21 <br />
