A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL ACKNOWLEDGING THE
NEED FOR LIMITED COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PARKING TO CONTINUE
WITHIN THE CITY OF LODI UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A PRIVATE TRUCK
PARKING LOT IS DEVELOPED
WHEREAS, commercial vehicle parking within the City of Lodi is governed by Lodi
Municipal Code §10.52.050; and
WHEREAS, in 1993, the City of Lodi began restricting truck parking on public streets; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance 1697 was adopted in November 2000 permitting truck parking in
designated areas until January 1, 2003, "or' until a private parking lot is developed or located in or
near the City limits, at which time subsection C of this Ordinance would become effective; and
WHEREAS, the activation of subsection C would result in the prohibition of parking
commercial vehicles on any public street unless the vehicle is in the process of being loaded or
unloaded; and
WHEREAS, the January 1, 2003 deadline was included in the Ordinance to encourage the
development of a private lot. However, to prevent having to continually extend this date until a lot is
developed, � the Ordinance contained an "or' clause permitting truck parking until a private truck
parking lot is developed; and
WHEREAS, the passing of the January 2003 date has no effect on the ability to park trucks
within the City, therefore staff recommends adoption of this Resolution acknowledging that no
adequate truck parking lot has been developed and that truck parking should be permitted per Lodi
Municipal Code §10.52.050 until such time as a lot is developed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby
acknowledge that no adequate truck parking lot has been developed and that truck parking should
be permitted to continue per Lodi Municipal Code §10.52.050 until such time as a lot is developed.
