FINAL Action Memo
ATTACHMENT 1 —
ZTA- 2013 -00005 Inoperable Vehicles
The Planning Commission held a work session to set general direction and provide feedback on
ZTA- 2013 -00005 Inoperable Vehicles.
Amanda Burbage, with the assistance of Amelia McCulley, presented a PowerPoint
presentation entitled ZTA 2013 — 00005 Inoperable Vehicle - Planning Commission Work
Session.
Public Comment was taken separately on each question from the following individuals:
Bob Garland, resident of Canterbury Hills
Neil Williamson, with Free Enterprise Forum
(See minutes for individual comments)
FOCUSED DISCUSSION:
Staff requested feedback on the following questions regarding inoperative vehicles. The
Planning Commission provided the following recommendations:
1) Should inoperable vehicles be required to be kept behind any face of the house oriented
to a street & kept on an improved parking surface?
A majority of the Commission was in favor of relegating inoperable vehicles behind the
front face of the house, but not imposing an additional requirement about the type of
surface that the vehicle is kept on. Staff will bring some more information about the
environmental impacts of leaking vehicle fluids and recommend potential measures that
can be used to address that.
2) Should form - fitting covers be allowed?
The majority of the Commission supported allowing form fitting covers in addition to the
other forms of screening.
3) What is an acceptable timeframe for vehicle repair or restoration?
180 days was an acceptable timeframe provided the owner can demonstrate they are
actively working on their vehicle.
4) Should screening standards be applied in the Rural Area during Phase I?
The Commission supported only changing regulations in the Development Area during
Phase one and leaving the Rural Areas until they have more information about how it
goes.
Next Step: The Planning Commission agreed with staff's recommendation and suggested staff
move forward with the draft taking their comments in consideration and set a public hearing for
October 22, 2013.
