Memorandum | |
| |
| | | | | | | | | To: | Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
| | From: | Edward Pidermann, Town Manager
| | Subject: | Parking of Commercial Vehicles in rights-of-ways
| | Date: | 7/16/2019
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | Recommendation: | On February 5th, 2019, Town Council directed the Town Manager to explore the possibility of an ordinance to address street parking of commercial vehicles within the Town's rights-of-way. The Council was concerned that large commercial vehicles were parking with regularity in several streets adjacent to parks or residential areas, blocking visibility, encroaching onto travel lanes, sidewalks and swales, and creating potentially hazardous conditions. Additionally, staff found the current code lacking in adequate provisions for violations of parking regulations. The proposed ordinance seeks to clarify provisions for street parking of commercial vehicles within rights-of-way, and to provide for fees and procedures regarding any violations of parking regulations.
On April 17, 2019, the Town Planning Board heard the item and voted to recommend approval by the council recommendations.
On May 22, 2019, the Town Planning Board heard the item again in its current form, which includes modifications added to address prior recommendations of the planning board and voted to recommend approval by the council.
On June 4, 2019 the Town Council approved the item on first reading. |
