Zonlnl! Enforcement and Conslstencv Update City Administrator Person requested direction from Council relating to Parking Permits. Current staff has found many inconsistencies relating to the Parking Permit Request, Special Use Permits, and Sign Permits. Many parking requests have been brought to City Hall asking for permission to park for a longer period of time than the six hour maximum, In the past, the parking permits were authorized for different period of times and for various reasons. Council directed staff to research the parking permit request with neighboring cities and to verify their policies, if they in fact have parking permit policies. Councilmember Hicks requested a "friendly living" approach to this issue. In the interim, Council directed staff to set in place a 30 day procedure and present this procedure to the Council. It had been brought to the Administrator's attention that Ryder Transportation currently has a nonconforming parking lot. A 1973 variance was denied, but the owner appears to have expanded the parking lot. Various options were discussed including allowing a time frame to comply limits set on expansion, but to clarify that the City intends to enforce ordinances.
