10. PUBLIC ITEMS <br />1O.A.1. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO RESTRICTIONS ON <br />PARKING COMMERCIAL VEHICLES IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS; LDR <br />CHAPTERS 901, 911, AND 912 (LEGISLATIVE) <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE <br />OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed the backup memorandum of December <br />8, 2008, and used a PowerPoint (copy on file) to provide background and analysis on staffs <br />request to consider amendments to Chapters 901, 911, and 912 of the Land Development <br />Regulations (LDR's), which pertain to current restrictions on parking commercial vehicles in <br />residential areas. He thereafter presented the recommendations of staff, the Professional <br />Services Advisory Committee (PSAC), and the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC), for <br />approval of the required amendments to the LDR's, by adoption of the proposed Ordinance. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan wondered about the inclusion of a 15,000 pound truck <br />under the vehicle allowances in the proposed amendments. <br />Director Boling acknowledged that the above was a heavy vehicle, but pointed <br />out that staff was comfortable with the vehicle sizes, and wanted to have a clear dividing line <br />between what is and is not permitted. He added that determinations had also been made as to <br />the types of vehicles that would not be allowed, such as bucket trucks, dump trucks, and semi <br />tractors. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher supported the proposed amendments, citing cases <br />where businesses have been forced to downsize and work from their own residences. He <br />pointed out that the updated restrictions would not impact public roads and bridges. <br />16 <br />December 16, 2008 <br />
