Authorization REQUEST: The Community Development Department-Code Enforcement Division, requests the City Commission provide direction to Staff regarding the non-conforming use of recreational vehicle parking/storage in the Dyson Drive annexation area and set a date, time and location for a public meeting on annexation. PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to request that the City Commission gives direction to Staff regarding non-conforming uses in the Dyson Drive annexation area and set a date, time and location for a public meeting on annexation. APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY: Under current regulations, no recreational vehicle in excess of twenty-eight (28) feet maybe parked or stored in a residentially zoned district without a permit issued by the City Commission and renewed annually.(Section 20-431 (f)) According to Seminole County Code Enforcement Division, there are no restrictions for the parking or storage of recreational vehicles in residential areas of unincorporated Seminole County. JANUARY 14, 2002 REGULAR AGENDA ITEM L Page 2 CONSIDERATIONS: In the proposed annexation area of Dyson Drive ,there are recreational vehicles stored on residential lots that would be in violation of city codes should this area be annexed into the city. The City Commission may wish to consider the following alternatives; • ALTERNATIVE 1: Require all homeowners to immediately comply with all applicable codes at time of annexation. This would require each recreational vehicle owner to quickly find a suitable location for the storage of the recreational vehicle. Failwe to do so may result in fines being levied against the homeowner. • ALTERNATIVE 2: Grandfather existing vehicles provided they are parked behind a 6-foot fence or behind a house or other structure. • ALTERNATIVE 3: Require a permit to be issued annually by the City Commission for the parking or storage of oversized recreational vehicles. The City Commission may look at several factors in determining this application including responses from notified affected neighbors, visibility and aesthetic conditions. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Alternative 2 be implemented, which would require the issuance of a permit by the City Commission for the parking or storage of oversized recreational vehicles. Staff also recommends that Keeth Elementary School be used as the site for the public meeting to discuss annexation, during the week prior to the date of the referendum. ATTACHMENTS: A.
