Resident asks council for motor‑home parking exemptions, cites 1.5‑ton and 21‑foot limits
Summary
A resident identified as Mr. Woodley asked the council for waivers to allow long‑term parking of his 40‑foot motor home, saying current Cedar Park ordinances cap vehicle weight at 1.5 tons and length at 21 feet and prevent caregiving arrangements.
At the public-comment portion of the meeting, a resident identified by the mayor as Mr. Woodley described a clash with Cedar Park ordinances that prohibit time‑vehicle parking on public streets if a vehicle exceeds 1.5 tons or 21 feet in length. Woodley said he lives in a motor home and needs long‑term on‑street parking to care for his mother; he told the council, “my motor home is 40 feet,” and asked the city to create waivers, exemptions, or changes to allow long‑term parking for caregiving and tourism visits.
The mayor reminded the audience that council may not deliberate on non‑agenda items during public comment but offered staff follow‑up: "If you could please give your contact info to some of our staff, I think they'll be in and they'll be in touch and and get some more of that information," the mayor said. The transcript records Mr. Woodley's factual claims about ordinance length and weight limits and his request for exceptions; the council did not take immediate action during the meeting.
