Driveway and Residential Parking Ordinance Revisions Page 1 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission May 5, 2020 Administrator Statz outlined the discussion by reviewing what the code currently says about outdoor storage/parking on residential lots and what changes are being proposed. A memo and draft ordinance language was provided in the packet. Discussion ensued regarding various aspects of the ordinances. Much of the discussion revolved around commercial vehicles and/or the size and weight of a vehicle. Consensus seemed to be reached on a few items:  tractor trailers should not be allowed on residential property  commercial vehicles should not be allowed in side or rear yards  vehicles parked in the driveway should not hang into the right-of-way  still looking to increase the total number of allowed vehicles stored off the driveway to be 3, rather than the current ordinance of 2  there could be a limitation on large vehicles, to only allow one “large” vehicle The conversation then moved to try to resolve the driveway width issue, rather than let that part of the ordinance changes be held up by the larger, more complex discussion of parking and storage. Administrator Statz reviewed the proposed language for driveway width. There was general consensus that the proposed language was satisfactory. Planner Carlson reviewed some situations in cul-de-sacs that would need to be addressed in the ordinance. Discussion was whether to have restrictions based on a set width or a percentage of the width. Consensus seemed to be reached on a 2/3 lot width restriction on driveway width. Motion by Commissioner Fehrenbacher, seconded by Commissioner Haiden to recommended approval of Sections 6 & 7 of the proposed draft ordinance with the following modifications:  addition of the 2/3 lot width restriction in cul-de-sacs  amending the the text saying “..at the right of way line…” to “…at the right-of-way line, extending through to the curb…”  note that the allowed width includes any flares A roll call vote was taken. All in favor. Motion carried. The agenda item discussion continued, getting back to the subjects of vehicle parking/storage on residential lots. Aerial photos were reviewed to establish what types of scenarios exist around town. Further consensus seemed to be reached on additional items:  Rather than say that a vehicle cannot hang into the right-of-way, perhaps, saying, it can’t block a sidewalk or be a certain distance from the curb, say 10 to 12’ since most often, the right-of-way is about 13’ off the back of curb.  Reiterated that only one large item should be allowed (over 25’). Perhaps having no large items allowed in the back yard.  Perhaps a limit of 40’ in length for any RV would encompass most.  The vehicle should be registered to the owner or renter of the property.  Divide items into two different lists (smaller and larger) Page 2 of 3 City of Centerville Planning and Zoning Commission May 5, 2020 No further action was taken on the remaining articles. Consensus was to take up those issues at a future meeting. VII. NEW BUSINESS 1. None VIII. APPROVAL OF MINUTES 1. February 4, 2020 Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes 2.
