(LPA 04-13) The City Commission requested the Pianning and Zoning Commission to review the code as it relates to parking commercial vehicles in residential areas and forwarded proposed revisions for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposed revisions specifically address the Unified Land OeveloDment Requlations, Part III, Article X, Section 3·10.9, Parking of vehicles in residential districts, as follows: 1. Subsection a(1) was rewritten to state that vehicles equal to or grealer than 6,000 pounds gross weight or that are equal to or greater than 20 feet in length may only be parked in residential areas when actively engaged in temporary or service work. 2. Subsection b(3) was rewritten to allow unrestricted commercial advertising commercial vehicles that would otherwise be allowed to park in residential districts. 3. Subsection c was added to state that commercial vehicles may not park on the city rights-of-way unless actively engaged in temporary service work at the nearby residence. A workshop was conducted during the October 13, 2004 Planning and Zoning Commission, and topics. discussed included the potential and perceived impacts to the neighborhoods, code requirements of other local jurisdictions, and the language of the proposed ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Commission requested additional information from staff for lhe October 27, 2004 meeting. Notice of the October 27, 2004 public hearing was . provided in the Oriando Sentinei on October 17, 2004. Allhe October 27, 2004 meeting, the Pianning and Zoning Commission reviewed the photographs provided, discussed the size of vehicles, the types of vehicles and the accessory equipment (ladders, lifts, winches), and the negative impacls to neighborhoods. The Commission also discussed other subsections within the code regarding designated parking areas in the front yard and parking of recreational vehicles. After considerable discussion the Commission accepted public input and then made a motion that was unanimously approved. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommendalion to the City Commission is to not adopt the proposed ordinance based on the following motion: 'The Planning and Zoning Commission will not reduce the current standards, and if commercial vehicle parkilìg is addressed, it has to be addressed as a complete package and take into account any and all vehicles parked in residential areas and the enforcement of all those codes and the Planning and Zoning Commission is willing to take on that task." 3.
