be more readable, more concise and with more charts. There are no major changes in intent, but rather in clarity and format. Eventually, this portion of the Code should be more accessible electronically. Over the past year, the planning staff has compiled sections of the zoning code into a set of "bite-size" ordinances, ready for review and revision. These existing regulations are outdated in terminology (written more than 40 years ago) and in format. They have no consistency throughout the Code. For a property owner or developer (as well as city staff) they have been hard to find and interpret. The Community Development Staff asked for any additions or deletions and recommended approval of the ordinance amendments The Commission had previously worked on this draft ordinance. General comment from the Commission ensued, remarking that the consolidation into charts is an improvement long overdue. Member Traynor offered a series of correction to grammar and spelling. (Thank You!) No public comment was offered. Chairman Duncan closed the hearing. Motion: Member Bakeman moved, second by Member Stone, to recommend approval of the City Code amendments to Section 1002 and 1004, as being consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and request the Council to set a date for a first reading of the proposed ordinance to amend the City Code.

Chairman Troy Duncan opened the hearing and requested Community Development Director Dennis Welsch to provide a verbal summary of the staff written report and proposed ordinance dated July 9, 2003. Mr. Welsch explained the proposal. Staff seeks to create a more clearly written parking ordinance. No new substantial regulations are offered here, but rather a compilation in one section of the City Code. As proposed, one new city code section would be created. The planning staff has compiled a comprehensive ordinance of parking regulations that have been adopted in more than 20 ordinances over the past 50 years. These regulations are scattered throughout the City Code and are difficult for resident and developer as well as city staff to find and interpret. A general discussion ensued regarding the ability to regulate parking on streets. Roseville has no specific regulation to prohibit parking unless the road is considered unsafe or too narrow. In those cases the Council adopts a resolution approving such traffic regulations. No further comment was offered. Chairman Duncan closed the hearing. Motion: Chair Duncan moved, second by Member Traynor to recommend to the City Council that the Council amend Section 407.02M3 and in proposed Section 1018.13 D (Parking Nuisances) to establish a 14 day maximum period for outdoor storage of vehicles, rather than the current 30 day maximum. The Section would read: "No person shall cause, undertake, permit or allow the outside parking and storage of vehicles in residentially- zoned property for more than thirty (30) days fourteen (14) days unless it complies with the following requirement.
