AGENDA TITLE: Consider the Planning Commission's Recommendationthat the City Council
Amend Chapter 17.60 of theLodi Municipal Code by Adding a New Section
Thereto Relating to Parking in Front and Side Yard Setbacks.
MEETING DATE: May 3, 1995
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: that the City Council conduct a public hearing to consider the
Planning Commission's recommendation that the City Council
amend Chapter 17.60 of theLodi Municipal Code by adding a new
section thereto relating to parking in front and side yard Setbacks.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Code Enforcement Officer Leland Schmiedt indicated to the
City Attorney's office that he needed a tool to keep people
from parking in landscaped areas in street and street side
yard areas. He indicated that this was a problem that
the "Ugly" Ordinance did not address, and that it was a major problem, especially in the eastside
residential areas.
The City Attorney's office prepared the amendment which was the subject of a Planning Commission
public hearing on March 13, 1995. At that time the Commission returned the proposal to the City
Attorney for changes. Specifically, the Planning Commission wanted to restrict the amount of yard area
that could be paved. The ordinance has been changed to accommodate the request and limits the paved
area to 45% of a street or street side yard. The Planning Commission recommended the amendment to
the City Council at its meeting of March 27, 1995.
FUNDING: None required.
