REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Consider Ordinance 875: An ordinance to adopt a prohibition of on-street <br />parking of large vehicles such as semi-trucks and semi-trailers <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD’S APPROVAL: <br />CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL: <br />No comments to supplement this report ___ Comments attached ___ <br />15.99 Deadline: n/a <br />Recommendation: The Public Safety Commission, Planning Commission, and Staff recommend <br />Approval of Ordinance 875 <br />Legislative History:  The issue of on-street parking of large vehicles comes up continually on a <br />month-to-month basis <br />Financial Impact: None. <br />Summary: Rights-of-way are intended for many purposes including but not limited to <br />transportation needs (i.e. roads, sidewalks, & trails), utilities, snow storage, <br />boulevard plantings, etc. ROWs are not meant to be utilized as overflow <br />parking for large vehicle operators, but this has unfortunately become a <br />problem in recent years. Rather than signing all problem areas as “no <br />parking,” adopting a prohibition on large vehicle parking will address the <br />issue city-wide. The proposed prohibition is not uncommon in urban areas <br />like New Brighton, and will enhance the character within some of our <br />industrial areas which have become over-run at times with on-street parking <br />of large vehicles. <br />________________________ <br />Ben Gozola, AICP <br />Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Ord 875 <br />Report Number: 5 <br />Agenda Section: IX <br />Report Date: 5/20/20 <br />Council Meeting Date: 5/26/20
