Summary

Ordinance No. 190 amending driveway and front-yard parking rules passed unanimously to give staff clearer authority to regulate driveway dimensions, partly in anticipation of new RV-parking rules.

The council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 190, which amends City Code Chapter 156.035 and Chapter 71.10 to strengthen the city's ability to regulate residential driveway sizes and prohibit certain front-yard parking areas. City Planner Lassonde said the Planning Commission recommended the changes to address potential driveway expansions tied to new recreational-vehicle parking rules.

Council members said the changes are intended to provide clearer standards so staff can review driveway modifications consistently. The ordinance passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
