regardless of lot size. This simplifies off-street parking provisions by eliminating different standards based on lot size. The requirement that motor vehicles and equipment be stored closer to the principal structure than the lot line has proven impractical when applied in the field and has not necessarily achieved its intended goal. Furthermore, the amendment still ensures that items are not parked right along a property boundary, consistent with setback standards for driveways. Staff supports this option. Option 2: Do not recommend that City Council adopt Ordinance # 15-08. If the amendment were not adopted, off-street parking standards would remain as is, including different provisions based on lot size. While Staff is not aware of any noted issues with a fifteen (15) foot setback (other than it being three [3] times the setback of a driveway), there have been concerns raised regarding parking items closer to the principal structure than the lot line. From an enforcement perspective, this has not been practical nor has it seemed to achieve its intended purpose of limiting the view of items from adjacent properties. Staff does not support this option. Funding Source: This ordinance is being prepared as part of normal Staff duties. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance #15-08. Action: Motion to recommend the City Council adopt Ordinance # 15-08.
