Summary
The City is amending Chapter 71 of our Code of Ordinances relating to parking on city streets by adding no parking zones along the north side of Pfennig Lane from Swenson Farms Blvd. to Black Locust. City staff have studied the area and recommend that a no parking zone is warranted.
A map depicting the no parking zone is attached to this item. The city has completed a parking lot with 63 spaces on the property south of Pfennig Lane to provide parking for the soccer and other activities held on these activity fields to the south of Pfennig. The capacity of this parking lot allows the no parking zone to be proposed to increase safety in the area by eliminating pedestrians crossing Pfennig to get to vehicles parked on the north side of Pfennig.
This ordinance has been approved by the City Attorney as to form.
This ordinance was approved on first reading on July 26, 2016.
