GOOD EVENING, WES. >> THE FOLLOWING REVISION MAY LOOK FAMILIAR. THIS CAME TO A FIRST READING ON DECEMBER 8. BASED ON THAT MEETING, STAFF GOT TOGETHER, WE REVIEWED A SECTION OF OUR -- OF CHAPTER 72, PERTAINING TO EMERGENCY VEHICLES AS WELL AS DRIVE WAY DESIGN. SO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM UNDER 10D WILL PERTAIN TO DRIVE WAY DESIGN. THIS SECTION OF CODE, JUST PERTAINS TO THE CITY'SABILITY TO ENFORCE PARKING VIOLATIONS, SO EVERYTHING HERE WOULD BE ENCOMPASSED UNDER A PARKING TICKET OR POTENTIAL SPECIAL MAGISTRATE PROCESS. I'VE OUTLINED IN RED THE CHANGE IN THIS SECTION, EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE DECEMBER 8th MEETING. SO THE FOLLOWING -- AND FOR THE RECORD, WESLEY ARMSTRONG, DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES. SORRY. >> MAYOR: THAT'S OKAY. >> SO THESE ORDINANCE REVISIONS ARE UNDER STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL 1 FOR SAFE, CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL. IN TERMS OF RESIDENTIAL PARKING, ALL OF THIS PERTAINS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY, WHICH IS THE PROPERTY LINE TO THE FRONT OF THE HOME. EVERYTHING THERE, SECTION 72-01H, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO DEFINE THE IMPROVED SURFACES KWHRKS WOULD ALLOW A VEHICLE TO PARK IN THE FRONT OF A HOME, WE WANT TO MATCH THAT TO AN UPCOMING ORDINANCE. CONCRETE, ASPHALT, STONE PAVERS, CONCRETE PAVERS. ALONG WITH SEMIIMPERVIOUS CRUSHED STONE OR CRUSHED ROCK. THE DRIVE WAY CONSTRUCTION WILL COME IN THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM. FOR THIS SPECIFICALLY, THIS IS JUST WHERE WE CAN TICKET A VEHICLE PARKED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY IN FRONT OF A HOUSE. AND IT WOULD BE THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS, IF YOU'RE PARKED IN THE GRASS OR THE DIRT, YOU WOULD RECEIVE THAT TICKET. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY CHANGES TO ANY OTHER SECTION OF 72-01, WHICH PERTAIN TO SWALE PARKING. YOU'RE ALLOWED TO PARK IN THE GRASS IN THE SWALE, AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THAT CODE, WHICH WOULD BE 12 INCHES FROM THE ROADWAY, WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT PARKED THERE FOR MORE THAN 36 HOURS. >> AND PERMISSION FROM THE OWNER, CORRECT? >> YES. THE NEXT SECTION WE RECOMMEND, OUR CHANGES ARE UNDER 72-03, PERTAINING TO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. WE WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE PROHIBITION AND INCLUDE BOX TRUCKS, WE HAVE A GAP IN OUR CODE WHERE A FOUR WHEELED BOX TRUCK WOULD BE ALLOWED FOR OUR CODE, WE'D LIKE TO PROHIBIT THOSE VEHICLES, HOWEVER, WE DO WANT TO ADD A STANDARD TRUCK, AN F-350 WITH SIX WHEELS, PER OUR CODE NOW, IS TECHNICALLY A VIOLATION, WE WANT TO MAKE THAT ALLOWABLE TO BE PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. WE DO RECOMMEND REMOVING THE SIX WHEEL EXEMPTION PROCESS, IT'S OUTDATED, WE HAVEN'T USED IT FOR THE BETTER PART OF A DECADE, THE ON CHANGE TO THIS SECTION FROM THE LAST HEARING WOULD BE TO EXPAND THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE EXEMPTIONS, TO ALLOW FOR ANY VEHICLE IN SERVICE, SUPPORTING FIRST RESPONDERS OR ANY PERSONNEL ON CALL TO BE ALLOWED, AS LONG AS THEY'RE PERFORMING AN ESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT FUNCTION THIS DOES BRING US IN LINE WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, WHO HAVE SIMILAR ORDINANCES IN EFFECT, IT ALLOWS A SERVICE VEHICLE WHO'S THERE TO ASSIST A FIRST RESPONDER OR GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION. TO PARK A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE AT A RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY, AS LONG AS IT'S PARKED IN THE DRIVE WAY. >> MAYOR: OKAY. >> SO RIGHT HERE WOULD BE A PICTURE ON THE LEFT, YOU WOULD SEE MULTIPLE VEHICLES PARKED, OUR CURRENT CODE IS -- THERE'S A GAP IN THAT CODE, WHICH WOULD ALLOW PARKING IN SOME GRASS AREAS ON THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S IN A CLEARLY DEFINED PARKING AREA, DEFINE WHAT THOSE ARE AND THE MATERIALS, AND YOU SEE HERE ON THE RIGHT, THAT FOUR WHEELED BOX TRUCK IS TECHNICALLY ALLOWED PER OUR CURRENT CODE, AND THAT WOULD BE A VIOLATION, WE WANT TO REVERSE THOSE. MAKE IT SO THE FOUR WHEELED BOX TRUCK IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE PARKED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND THAT SIX WHEELED VOC WOULD BE EXEMPT. >> IF YOU HAVE A U-HAUL, SOMEONE'S MOVING IN OR MOVING OUT, LET'S SAY THEY'RE USING A STORAGE UNIT AND A BOX TRUCK TO PARK IT OVERNIGHT, WOULD THAT BE AN ISSUE? >> NO, OUR STAFF WOULDN'T. ALL OF THESE INSTANCES, PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF ANY TICKETS, OUR STAFF WOULD ALWAYS MAKE CONTACT, IF THEY SAY, WE'RE HERE FOR A FEW DAYS, WE'LL GIVE THEM TIME TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AND LET US KNOW ONCE IT'S CORRECTED AND VERIFY THAT. >> APPRECIATE THAT. >> THE NEXT SECTION, WE'RE REQUESTING A CHANGE UNDER THE UTILITY TRAILER UNDER 7210. FOR OPEN ENCLOSED UTILITY TRAILERS, WE WOULD LIKE TO MATCH THE PARKING PROHIBITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED IN FIRST READING FOR BOTH MOTOR VEHICLES AND RECREATION VEHICLES THAT WOULD PROHIBIT PARKING IN THE BACKYARD, UNLESS THERE WAS A SIX FOOT PRIVACY FENCE. YOU COULD PARK A VEHICLE IN THE BACKYARD AS LONG AS THERE'S A PRIVACY FENCE. WE WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE FOR AN AENCLOSED UTILITY TRAILER, THE SECTION OF OUR CODE THAT PROHIBITS COMMERCIAL LETTERING. FOR OPEN UTILITY TRAILERS, WE WANT TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THEM, CURRENTLY IT'S 32 SQUARE FEET, SO A 4x8 RELATIVELY SMALL TRAILER, WE WANT TO MATCH FOR THE LENGTH REQUIREMENT FOR AN ENCLOSED UTILITY TRAILER, WHICH IS 20 FEET, IT INCREASES THE SIZE OF AN OPEN UTILITY TRAILER, ALLOWED TO BE PARKED AT A PROPERTY. >> I WANT TO SAY, THIS IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT, IN THE SENSE OF THE REMOVAL OF COMMERCIAL LETTERING. ONE TRAILER HAD AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR A FOOD TRUCK ON THE WEEKENDS, VERSUS SOMETHING THAT WAS COMPLETELY BLANK. SAME SIZE, JUST THE ACTUAL LETTERING, I'M GLAD THAT'S BEING CORECTED. >> AND YOU SEE RIGHT HERE, ON THE LEFT, THERE'S MULTIPLE TRAILERS PARKED AT THE PROPERTY, YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO PARK THEM IN THE GRASS, THAT'S PER OUR CURRENT CODE, WITHIN THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY, THEY CAN STILL PARK ON THE SIDE AND THE REAR, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE BEHIND A 6 FOOT FENCE, IT WOULD STILL BE ALLOWED TO BE PARKED LIKE NORMAL. THEN YOU SEE THERE, THE COMMERCIAL LETTERING, IT'S A TECHNICAL VIOLATION OF OUR CODE RIGHT NOW, WE WANT TO ALLOW THAT. >> WHY IS IT WE ALLOW PEOPLE TO PARK TRAILERS ON THE SIDE OF THEIR HOUSE, AND NOT UTILITY TRAILERS. YOU CAN PARK A REGULAR TRAILER, CAMPER AND NOT HAVE TO HAVE IT BEHIND A FENSE. >> YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PARK BOTH. UTILITY TRAILERS, AS WELL AS BOATS, RV'S AND RECREATION VEHICLES WOULD BE ALLOWED TO PARK NOT BEHIND A FENCE, IT'S ONLY WHEN YOU PASS THE REAR THRESHOLD OF THE HOME, THAT IT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE BEHIND THE FENCE. >> OKAY. >> THE SAME THING WITH A MOTOR VEHICLE AS WELL. THE MOTOR VEHICLE CAN PARK BESIDE THE HOUSE NOT 34I7B H BEHIND A FENCE. WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING THOSE CHANGES. THE LAST SECTION WOULD BE THE PENALTY SECTION. IT WOULD BE ON THE LOWER END OF THOSE MUNICIPALITIES, TO INCREASE ALL PARKING FINES TO $50, AND THEN TO INCREASE THE PARKING FINES FOR 200 FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE, 300 FOR THE SECOND, 400 FOR THE THIRD AND SO ON. AND HAVE THE LANGUAGE IN THIS SECTION BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. ANOTHER AVENUE FOR ENFORCEMENT, IF WE CAN'T MAKE CONTACT AND HAVE SOMEONE CORRECT THE VIOLATION. IF THESE CHANGES GO THROUGH, WE WILL HOST PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETINGS, WE WILL HAVE A SIX MONTH EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PLAN THAT WE WOULD NOT DO FOR ENFORCEMENT FOR THOSE SIX MOTDS. WE WOULD GO OUT THERE, EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND CO ORDER NATURE TO GET THIS INFORMATION OUT. ANY QUESTIONS, REGARDING THE RECOMMENDED CHANGES? >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. ANY OTHER CHANGES? >> NO. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS ITEM IS A PUBLIC HEARING. WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO ADDRESS THE COUNCIL? SEEING NO ONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> MOTION TO APPROVE ORDINANCE 25-83. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ANY FINAL DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. WE'RE GOING TO SKIP AND GO RIGHT TO 10D SINCE THESE TWO ITEMS GO HAND IN HAND? >> AN ORDINANCE 26-38, ENTITLED LAND USAGE. CHAPTER 153 DEFINITIONS AND CHAPTER 158 ZONING CODE. BY AMENDING SECTIONS 153.01, 158.222, 158.217 TO UPDATE DRIVE WAY STANDARDS BY ADDING NEW DEFINITIONS, SET BACKS, AND LANDSCAPE AREAS. >> MADAM MAYOR, IF I MAY, BEFORE THEY START, WHEN WE WERE WORKING WITH THE TEAM ON THE PREVIOUS ITEM YOU HEARD, WE COLLABORATED WITH PUBLIC WORKS, AND LOOKED AT THIS SECTION THAT WAS IN THE ZONING CODE, WE REALIZED WE NEEDED TO MAKE THINGS CLEARER, THE CODE WAS WRITTEN QUITE A WHILE AGO WHILE THESE SET BACKS AND EXHIBITS ARE BEING PUT IN THE ZONING CODE. THESE ARE NOT NEW SET BACKS THIS IS WHAT THE TEAM IS DOING. WE'RE TRYING TO DOCUMENT IT IN A CLEAR WAY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, AND TO ALSO MAKE SURE WHEN CODE GOES OUT TO ENFORCE, THAT IT'S CLEAR WHAT THEY'RE ENFORCING FOR THE PUBLIC FOR EVERYBODY. SO WE REALLY SEE THIS AS A SUPPORTIVE DOCUMENT. >> MAYOR: VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE IT. GOOD EVENING, I' BETHANY GRUBBS. THIS IS A ZONING TEXT IT IS A TEXT >> WE'RE NEW DRIVE WAY DEFINITIONS ESTABLISHING SEPARATION. AND >> INGRESS OR BETWEEN A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY. IT EXTENDS INWARD TO THE PROPERTY LINE, MUST BE A PAVED SURFACE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE CITY STANDARDS FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT. A DRIVE WAY PRIMARY IS THE MAIN ACCESS SEGMENT. AND AGAIN, THAT EXTENDS FROM THE PUBLIC OR INTO THE PROPERTY AND LEADING TO A DESIGNATED AREA OR GARAGE FACE. WAY SECONDARY IS T AWUXILIARY SEGMENT TO A PRIMARY THAT'S INTENDED TO COMPLETE -- A CONNECTION OF A -- OR A INGRESS GARAGE FACE IS NOW GOING TO BE IDENTIFIED A VERTICAL PLANE CREATED BY THE EXTERIOR OF THE GARAGE OR CARPORT. VEHICULARDOOR, THIS INCLUDES THE DOOR ON AN ENCLOSED GARAGE, OPEN FACING STRUCTURAL THE GARAGE FACE REPRESENTS THE POINT AT DRIVE WAY TERMINATES, AND THE FUNCTIONAL END OF VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE STRUCTURE. STAMPED PAVING IN WITH THE CITY DEVELOPMENT. A DRIVE SURFACE OR COMMERCIAL USE, EXISTING AT LANGUAGE -- ALL SHALL BE A PAVED SURFACE, WITH CONCRETE, ASPHALT PAVER AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DESIGN STANDARDS. [ PLEASE STAND ] >> THE CONNECT ERCEGMENT SET BACK FROM THE PROPERTY FEET. THE SET BACK DISTANCE FROM THE PRIMARY IS 10 FEET. AND THESE ARE INTENDED TO PROVIDE ROOM FOR LANDSCAPING SO YOU JUST AN ENTIRELY PAVED FRONT LAWN OF A HOUSE. THE IMAGES THAT SHOW YOU WHAT IS MEANT BY A TURNAROUND. THIS WOULD BE YOUR PRIMARY ENTRANCE DRIVE WAY, AND TURN AROUND. YOU HAVE YOUR 10 FOOT LANDSCAPING HERE AND 5 FOOT REQUIREMENT THERE. AND THIS WOULD BE FOR A DRIVE WAY WITH A DRIVE WAY. AGAIN, 18 FEET DISTANCE. THIS SAME THING, BUT SHOWS THAT NOW REQUIRED 10AREA, SO IT REALLY IS TO TO DRIVE WAY OF THE HOUSE. THE SIMILAR PICTURE SHOWING THE PRIMARY DRIVE THE ACCESSORY USES ARE ALLOWED IN THE RS1 AND RS3 RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICTS. ALL OTHER ACCESSORY USES ARE CURRENTLY PROHIBITED WITH THE EXCEPTIONS FOR AMATEUR RADIO ANTENNAS, THAT'S EXISTING TEXT. BUT BASICALLY WHAT THIS SECTION DOES, IT REMOVES THE ABILITY TO HAVE A WOOD DRIVE WAY NOW YOU CAN ONLY HAVE THE CRONKITE DRIV THAT AREA, FROM THE FRONT CORNER OF THE PRINCIPLE STRUCTURE. CANNOT EXTEND ANY CL THAN ANY SIDE SIDE, LOT LINE AND IT'S INTENDED TO GET RID OF WOOD DRIVE WAYS. THE CURRENT CODE ALLOWS CIRCULAR DRIVE WAYS, IMPERVIOUS SERVICE LIMITS. 2021 TURNAROUND INCREASED AREAS THE ON SOME RESIDENTIAL LOT FACING, INCONSISTENT DRIVE WAY DESIGNS AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND REPLACING SECULAR DRIVE WAYS PRESERVE LANDSCAPE AREAS AND PREVENT EXCESSIVE FRONT THIS WAS DONE IN COOPERATION WITH THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, THEY'RE THE I ZONING BOARD DID RECOMMEND MEETING. STAFF ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? >> HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION. FOR THE WAY. PUBLIC WORKS WILL GO OUT TO VERIFY THAT THERE'S NOT -- THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN, IS -- I DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE SECONDARY DRIVE WAY IN THE BACK, BUT BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT THERE ON THE CORNER, IT COULD BE ON A CORNER LOT, AND I'VE SEEN CORNER LOTS, SOMETIMES HOW THEY'RE LAID OUT THEY WEREN'T LAID OUT UNFORTUNATELY, I'VE SEEN PRETTY BAD ACCIDENTS WHERE THEY GET SMASHED P.M. [ PLEASE STAND BY AUDIO ISSUES BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONE AS A POTENTIALISSUE. IF SOMEONE -- >> MAYOR: THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO >> MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR? >> MAYOR: JUST TO CLARIFY, THERE WERE NO PARKING IN THE SWALE EVEN, ANYTHING THAT WE WERE VOTING ON. >> MAYOR: WE'RE BACK TO 10B, ORDINANCE 26-36. >> ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PORT ST.
