Title
Discuss Proposed Amendments To Title IX, Chapter 92 ‘Nuisances’ Of The Carrollton Code Of Ordinances.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This item appears on the worksession agenda to discuss proposed amendments to Chapter 92 ‘Nuisances’ of the Code of Ordinances in response to resident complaints of holiday decorations remaining on display significantly after the holiday and in response to residential parking concerns.
Staff will present an overview of proposed amendments to the Code of Ordinances to provide an enforcement mechanism and time allowance for outdoor holiday decorations to be displayed and removed, and to provide parking restrictions in residential neighborhoods. The proposed amendments provide for the enjoyment of property and aim to improve on-street parking in residential areas.
The goals of these amendments include:
• Adding purpose, scope and administration sections;
• Updating the definitions section;
• Providing an allowable start and ending date for outdoor holiday decorations to ensure their removal after a reasonable period of time;
• Disallowing parking within 7 feet of a mailbox, within 3 feet of a driveway, or in a manner that hinders trash and bulk waste collection without the effective consent of the property owner;
• Disallowing commercial trailers to be parked in residential areas unless loading or unloading.
