DESCRIPTION At the regular City Council meeting on October 14,
1985, the City Council conducted its third public hearing on a proposed
ordinance restricting the long-term parking of large commercial vehicles.
The ordinance provides for a maximum of two-hour parking for vehicles
weighing more than 10 , 000 pounds gross vehicle weight. Specific exemptions
are provided for vehicles involved with loading and unloading activities.
The ordinance is proposed to address concerns related to the long term
storage of commercial vehicles on public streets. A two-hour restriction
will allow the operators time to avail themselves of adjacent services. The
City Traffic Engineer has reviewed the existing conditions and recommended
the ordinance based on concerns related to safety, congestion, decreased
pavement life and aesthetics.
At the public hearing on October 14 , 1985, the proposed ordinance was
amended. The original ordinance was proposed as an urgency measure. The
amendment provided for an effective date of April 15, 1986.
Subsequent to the October 14, 1985 meeting, Staff has contacted a
representative of American City Truck Stop. They have indicated that they
anticipate having space available once Admiral Moving & Storage develops a
new warehouse on the rear parcel, located along Houston Place. This project
is now undergoing a site development review by the Planning Department.
Representatives of Admiral Storage have indicated that they are planning to
obtain building permits and proceed with construction once the Planning
Department approvals are granted. The time frame for construction will be
dependent on whether and other impacts on the construction process. The
American City representative indicated that they now have a waiting list.
They anticipate that nearly all of the available spaces would be obtained by
individuals on the waiting list.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, waive the
reading and adopt the ordinance with an effective date of April 15, 1985.
