Proposed Changes to Chapter 13 to remove Section 13-63(a)(10) prohibition of parking within 300 feet of a permitted food establishment.
SUMMARY:
Amending City Code Chapter 13 to remove a prohibition to parking within 300 feet of a permitted food establishment.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 1983, at the request of stakeholders, a provision was added to City Code Chapter 13 which prohibited a mobile food establishment from parking within 300 feet of a permitted food establishment without obtaining a certified letter from the owner. Based on recent input from our stakeholders, Metro Health requests that the 300 foot parking prohibition be removed from Chapter 13.
ISSUE:
After obtaining feedback from stakeholders, Metro Health is recommending to amend City Code Chapter 13, Section 13-63(a)(10) to remove the 300 foot parking prohibition.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council can choose to leave the code as is.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Metro Health recommends amending City Code Chapter 13 to delete section 13-63(a)(10).
