AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss the Recently Updated Residential Commercial Vehicle Parking Ordinance.

BACKGROUND:

The Town received an increasing number of resident concerns about the parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas in late 2021. On December 14, 2021, a Council Work Session was held to discuss this matter. Council provided staff with direction to make amendments to the applicable parking ordinance. Council passed the ordinance amendments on January 11, 2022.

On March 8, 2022, staff presented to Council an example of the feedback on our enforcement efforts and received direction to further research policy and ordinance alternatives. Specifically, how other municipalities deal with residential commercial vehicle parking issues and specifics of their ordinances (i.e., restrictions, enforcement criteria etc.). Staff will:

Review the recently revised commercial vehicle ordinance.
Explain past difficulties encountered during enforcement (i.e., use of weight capacities, identifying private passenger vehicles, complex zoning maps, etc.).
Discuss the findings of our research from other municipalities.
Present alternative criteria and tools to aid enforcement.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff seeks direction from Council.
