BOOK 07 1�E 404 The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 20, 1996: TO: James E. Chandler County Admintatrator DON HEAD CONCURRENCE: I FM IF G R'dbert M. Keat ng, AICP Community Develop nt Djactor /J•/3. FROM: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director DATE: February 20, 1996 SUBJECT: Second Hearing for Ordinances Amending the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of February 27, 1996. BACKGROUND: At its special meeting of February 13, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed and considered two draft ordinances ("Ordinance 1" and "Ordinance 211) containing various proposed LDR amendments. At that time, the Board directed staff to change only two sections of Ordinance 2. Both of those sections related to the parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas (see attachment #1). The Board also indicated that it intended to consider final' adoption of the ordinances at a public hearing scheduled for 9:05 a.m. on February 27, 1996. Staff has revised proposed Ordinance 2 based.uponthe direction given -by the Board. The Board is now to consider final action on both proposed ordinances (see attachment #2). ANALYSIS: At the February 13th meeting, staff presented its recommendation to prohibit specific types of commercial vehicles from being parked outside of enclosed structures in residential neighborhoods. The Board, after considerable discussion, opted not to follow the recommendation from staff or the recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission but directed staff to follow the PSAC's recommendation. That recommendation was to allow all commercial vehicles with a rated capacity of 1 (one) ton or less to be parked in residential areas. Such a change will loosen existing restrictions which currently allow only commercial vehicles with a rated capacity of 3/4 ton or less to be parked in residential areas. The result of the proposed change will allow more "box vans and other types of commercial vehicles to be parked in residential areas. Also, such a change will allow Mr. Manuel Silva, who has now addressed the Board twice on this issue, to park his 1 ton rated capacity box van outside of an enclosure, in his driveway at his residence. Staff has revised sections 18 and 19 of proposed Ordinance 2, based upon the Board's direction. All other sections of both ordinances remain unchanged. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt proposed Ordinance 1 and prdinanca 2. Planning Director Stan Boling stated that no changes have been made to the proposed Ordinance 1 as directed by the Board at the February 13, 1996 hearing. The Chairman opened the -public hearing and asked- if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. 10 FEBRUARY 27, 1996 �J
