DeBlois,'jCICP <br />Chief, Environmental Planning <br />DATE: October 11, 1995 <br />RE: Manuel Silva's Request for Board Review of Commercial <br />Vehicle Parking Restrictions in Residential Areas <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular <br />meeting of October 17, 1995. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Mr. Manuel J. Silva Jr., in a letter dated October 5, 1995 <br />(attached), requests the opportunity to address the Board regarding <br />County restrictions on commercial vehicle parking in residential <br />areas. More specifically, County Code Section 912.17(1) [also Sec. <br />911.15.(3)] generally prohibits commercial vehicle parking in <br />residential areas. An exception, however, allows: <br />"commercial vehicles not exceeding three-quarters (3/4) <br />ton rated capacity used by the resident of the premises, <br />and parked off-street in a garage, carport or driveway. <br />No construction or similar materials shall be stored or <br />transported on the outside of such vehicles." <br />Mr. Silva requests that the Board revise the commercial vehicle <br />parking allowance size threshold from 3/4 -ton to one -ton rated <br />capacity. Mr. Silva owns a one -ton commercial "box van" (a.k.a. <br />step van) , and was recently required to remove the van from. his <br />property following a County Code Enforcement Board hearing and <br />order. Mr. Silva's viewpoint is that the present code restriction <br />of one -ton work trucks in residential areas is "a hardship for many <br />trades people, and causes them to contract out storage spaces miles <br />away from their homes". As such, this matter is presented for the <br />Board's consideration. <br />31 <br />OCTOBER 17, 1995 <br />
