PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Angeles at a regular meeting of the Council held on the 5 day of , 1979. ATTEST: Mar.iari C. Parrish, City Clerk APPROVED'AS TO FORM: Craig L. iller, City Attorney P BLISHED: • • June 4, 1979 MEMORANDUM TO: City Council /Manager FROM: City Attorney RE: Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 1588 The proposal before the City Council is designed to accomplish three things: Two 1. Correction of two inconsistencies in the existing ordinance; and 2. The prevention of "Weenie- wagon" type situations. The two inconsistencies are: 1. The definition of a parking space in Section 1 of the ordinance stating that such is 10 feet x 20 feet, con- flicts with the definition of a parking space in Section 6 (d) which establishes a parking space of 9 feet x 18 feet. This latter provision is removed by the amendment, thus leaving the larger parking space in effect. 2. The statement in the first paragraph of Section 5, that parking must be within 100 feet of the "front or rear entrance" of a building, conflicts with a statement in Section 10 (a) that the parking must be within "100 feet of the specific land use." The proposed ordinance removes the "front or rear entrance" language and allows parking to be located at any point within 100 feet of the land use. In the judgment of the Planning Department, this provides greater flexibility in the use of the ordinance. Finally, the proposal before you includes two new proposed sections for the ordinance, Sections 12 and 13. The first of those sections would prohibit the use of a parking space which was used to meet the requirements of the ordinance for parking for any purpose other than as a parking space connected with the land use for which the permit was obtained. Thus, in the Weenie Wagon situation, none of the parking spaces in the Albertson's parking lot could be used for parking other than for parking for Albertson's, were the matter to come up presently. As the Weenie Wagon, under the terms of the ordinance, requires at least four parking spaces, and as this ordinance prohibits the use of Albertson's parking spaces for other than Albertson's, the Weenie Wagon would not be able to meet the requirements of the parking code. Ord. Amend. Ord 1588 Page 2 The second proposed new section establishes a procedure for revocation of a building permit should the requirements of the parking ordinance be, in any manner, violated.
