Outdoor Vehicle StorageAGENDA ITEM: 08 -17 -TA Text Amendment Outdoor Parking or Storage of Vehicles in Residential Districts City of Rosemount AGENDA SECTION: Discussion PREPARED BY: Kim Lindquist, Community Development Director AGENDA NO. 2.D. ATTACHMENTS: Draft Ordinance Amendment APPROVED BY: 0 RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide Staff Direction 4 ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL City Council Work Session: August 13, 2008 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SUMMARY In July, the City Council voted on a 3 -2 vote to not approve an ordinance amendment limiting the number of vehicles that can be stored or parked at a residential property within the City. The draft ordinance listed the total number of vehicles allowed at eight (8). Council members had a variety of reasons for not supporting the amendment. There were concerns about the number suggested, that there was no differentiation between the rural and urban areas, that the definition of vehicles may be too broad, and that using a number to limit vehicles may not be the best approach. The attached recommendation is based upon suggestions from several Council members which addresses the urban /rural issue and also modifies the number proposed. Staff has also taken the liberty of modifying the definition of vehicles to include some motor powered vehicles that were not previously listed but would be considered vehicles under the definition. The amendment also clarifies how vehicles are counted, recognizing that each vehicle is counted separately and storing them on a trailer does not reduce the total number. Staff is bringing this item before the Council during a work session to obtain feedback prior to placing the item on a formal agenda for a first reading. RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting direction from the Council.
