C011� 41, <br /> INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA COMMUNITY <br /> MEMORANDUM DEVELOPMENT <br /> TO: Joseph A. Baird; County Administrator <br /> D AR MENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br /> Robert M. Keating, AICP Communi Development Director <br /> FROM: Stan Boling, ICP <br /> Planning Director <br /> DATE: March 11, 2013 <br /> SUBJECT: Consideration of Regulations Limiting the Size of Commercial Vehicles and <br /> Recreational Vehicles Parked Outside in Residential Areas <br /> It is requested that the following information be given formal consideration by the Board of County <br /> Commissioners at its regular meeting of March 19, 2013. <br /> �-- BACKGROUND <br /> At its meeting of February 5, 2013, Ron Heen appeared before the Board and requested that the <br /> county change its land development regulations(LDRs)to allow commercial vehicles taller than 9 <br /> feet to be parked outside in residential areas. Mr. Heen is a tile and flooring contractor who parks <br /> his commercial truck at his single-family residence at 1046 22nd Avenue in the Heritage Estates <br /> subdivision. During discussion at the February 5th meeting, the Board heard from staff that Mr. <br /> Heen is currently under code enforcement for parking a 9 '/2 foot tall commercial vehicle outside in a <br /> residential area,contrary to the county LDR that prohibits commercial vehicles over 9 feet tall from <br /> being parked outside in residential areas. Staff also showed the Board pictures of Mr. Heen's truck <br /> and illustrations presented to the Board in 2008 when the county last changed its commercial vehicle <br /> regulations. <br /> At the conclusion of discussion, the Board indicated a willingness to accommodate Mr. Heen's <br /> request and directed staff to evaluate regulations for commercial vehicles parked in residential areas. <br /> In response to the Board's direction, staff surveyed commercial vehicle and recreational vehicle <br /> regulations of other local governments and compared those with Indian River County's regulations. <br /> Staff included recreational vehicles in its research,since the Board recently expressed an interest in <br /> re-examining the county's current prohibition on parking recreational vehicles that exceed 32 feet in <br /> length in residential areas. This is staff's report to the Board. <br /> FACommunity Deve1opment\CurDev\13CC\92013 BCC\CommandRVatresidence.doc 1 203 <br />
