. . . . October 28,1992 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 he agrees with Mr. Marsh and called for the Commission to move ahead with the vote. Mr. Marsh moved that the Plan Commission recommend denial of Mr. Grady's amendment to Conditional Use Permit #294(A). The motion was seconded by Mr. Safe and passed by a vote of 6 - 1. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS OF ZONING CODE ~34-90: "MAJOR RECREATIONAL VEHICLE" AND "PRIVATE PASSENGER VEHICLE" IN REFERENCE TO OFF-STREET PARKING FOR PICKUP TRUCKS Mr. Goldman explained that this was a continuation of last month's discussion on whether or not visible off-street parking of pickup trucks should be permitted in residential districts under the zoning code. Mr. Goldman, Ms. Ratner and Ms. Kreishman presented alternative proposals for discussion, each proposing changes to the definitions of "Major Recreational Vehicle" and "Private Passenger Vehicle." It was discussed that if changes to the definitions were to be made, they should be enforceable and therefore deal with criteria that can be measured or seen by an inspector. An effort was made to deal with truck bed storage by requiring the truck and it's storage be screened in that situation. Further, it was specified that side boards should be prohibited, but pre-manufactured shells be permitted. After all discussion, the latest version of the proposal was as follows: Definitions: Private Passenger Vehicle: 1. Any motor vehicle, other than a commercial vehicle, which does not exceed six and one-half (6-1/2) feet in height and is licensed as a passenger automobile or motorcycle; or 2. A van or pickup truck, including a pickup truck with manufactured accessories for cargo compartment enclosure, other than a commercial vehicle, which does not exceed six and one-half (6 1/2) feet in height or eighteen (18) feet in length, has no more than four wheels, and has a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 pounds or less as classified by its manufacturer. Any pickup truck that has been modified by the addition of side boards shall not be classified as a private passenger vehicle. Major Recreational Equipment: 1. Any motor vehicle which is not a commercial motor vehicle or a private passenger vehicle as herein defined; or 2. Any equipment used, or designed to be used, for camping, travel, recreation or hauling purposes, including but not limited to a camping trailer, travel trailer, tent trailer, boat trailer, boat, camper body for mounting on a truck, or a container or trailer for storing or transporting camping, travel or recreational equipment, whether occupied by such equipment or not. m-10-28.plc
