TO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: BACKGROUND: The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Owasso Karl Fritschen Urban and Long Range Planner `9ppROV �� JqY cO btN ulliClL Ordinance No. 1036 Prohibiting Parking Unhitched Trailers on any Street August 29, 2014 The code enforcement officers within the Community Development Department as well as police officers work a variety of complaints related to public safety. Some of these complaints involve parked trailers on City streets and the potential hazards they pose with respect to traffic safety and pedestrians. In many cases, public streets appear to be used as storage facilities for trailers, being parked there for several consecutive days. Section 15 -704 of the Owasso Code of Ordinances addresses the parking of vehicles for more than forty -eight (48) hours and Section 15 -718 addresses the parking of commercial vehicles on public streets in residential and commercial areas. However, the code is silent in these two sections with respect to the parking of trailers on public streets. Given this, Community Development, Police, and the Legal Departments collaborated to craft language addressing trailers parked on public streets for more than forty -eight (48) hours. The proposed new language would make it illegal for unhitched trailers to park on public streets for any period of time as well as provide a definition for "trailer." Additionally, the new language addresses the nature of the violation with respect to blocking driveways, mailboxes, public access, and intersections. In summary, the language would assist both code enforcement personnel and police officers with addressing trailers parked on public streets. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 1036 amending Section 15 -103; Definitions, Section 15 -704, Parking More than Forty -eight (48) Hours and Section 15-718 Parking of Certain Commercial Vehicles on Public Streets in Residential and Commercial Areas, which would prohibit parking unhitched trailers on any street..
