BACKGROUND In addition to the zoning regulations in Chapter 161 of the Unified Development Code (UDC), which apply to all the various zoning districts and associated uses, there are supplementary regulations for certain types of uses and businesses. Specifically, Chapter 164 of the UDC provides restrictions for vehicle-related businesses, including gasoline service stations and car washes, as well as requirements for the storage of disabled and unlicensed vehicles. However, there are several other types of vehicle related businesses that aren't currently regulated by Chapter 164, including towing and impound facilities, auto salvage and automotive repair shops. Unlike the uses currently regulated by Chapter 164, though, these businesses may have areas for the storage of wrecked, disabled or inoperable vehicles. Eventually, this type of storage can create a public nuisance and adversely impact surrounding properties and even neighborhoods. It is staffs recommendation that Chapter 151 and 164 of the Unified Development Code be modified to include additional definitions and requirements for several types of vehicle related businesses that are most likely to create nuisances if not properly regulated. DISCUSSION On December 14, 2009 the Planning Commission unanimously forwarded this request to the City Council with a recommendation for approval. BUDGETIMPACT None.

The request is to amend several chapters of the Unified Development Code (UDC) to clarify vehicle related businesses, including vehicle repair, towing, and salvage. Planner: Jesse Fulcher BACKGROUND November 23, 2009 Planning,, Commission. This item was discussed at the November 23, 2009 Planning Commission meeting where staff gave a presentation of the proposed amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC). The Planning Commission and City Attorney provided feedback to staff concerning the proposed amendments. Staff has attempted to incorporate all of the changes recommended into the proposed code. The primary revisions requested are as follows: 1) Clarify the definition of a motor vehicle, remove reference to implements of animal husbandry. 2) Remove "household waste and garbage" from the definition of a junkyard 3) Clarify 164.14 Parking and storing of certain vehicles. Don't want to prohibit owner of antique vehicle or hobbyist. DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSAL In addition to the zoning regulations in Chapter 161 of the Unified Development Code (UDC), which apply to all the various zoning districts and associated uses, there are supplementary regulations for certain types of uses and businesses. Specifically, Chapter 164 of the UDC provides restrictions for vehicle-related businesses, including gasoline service stations, car washes and drive-in facilities, as well as requirements for the storage of disabled and unlicensed vehicles. However, there are several other types of vehicle related businesses that aren't currently regulated by Chapter 164, including towing and impound facilities, auto salvage and automotive repair shops. Unlike the uses currently regulated by Chapter 164, though, these businesses may have areas for the storage of wrecked, disabled or inoperable vehicles. Eventually, this type of storage can create a public nuisance and adversely impact surrounding properties and even neighborhoods. It is staff's recommendation that Chapter 151 and 164 of the Unified Development Code be modified to include additional definitions and requirements for several types of vehicle related businesses that are most likely to create nuisances if not property regulated. The proposal is to amend two (2) chapters of the UDC as summarized below and attached in full to this staff report: Chapter __Section _ Description _ - Include definitions for auto salvage,junkyard, motor vehicle, Chapter motor vehicle accessory store, motor vehicle repair and body shop, 151.01 Definitions towing impound pond yard and towing service. Additionally, the definition for"filling station" will be changed to "gasoline service station." Chapter Automobile Garages - Change title to Motor vehicle repair and provide restrictions 164.05 on the storage and parking of wrecked or abandoned vehicles. Chapter Automobile Wash Removed regulations and reserved section number. 164.06 Service _ Chapter Parking and storage Clarify regulation and insert new section prohibiting the 164.1_4 of certain vehiclesap rking or storage of wrecked vehicles in residential districts. Remove section (A) and section (13), as these regulations are already stated in section 164.05 and 164.06. Chapter Supplementary use - Renumber remaining sections. 164.18 regulations - Add new requirements for towing impound yards. - Remove section (E), since there are landscaping, grading and drainage requirements for all lots regardless of the site location. The ordinance amendments are shown in highlight and s#-rikeeut and are attached to the staff report. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends forwarding ADM 09-3466 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval.

By referring to the state licensing law (Chapter 14 of Title 27 of the Arkansas Code) the definition of"Motor vehicle" can be short, include what we are trying to regulate, and not include things we do not want to regulate in §164.14: riding lawn mowers, tractors, electric wheelchairs, electric bicycles, four wheelers, etc. We should define "Junkyard" as it should be operated and not include improper materials (garbage and trash) in its definition which could be used against us if we tried to get: improper materials removed from a junkyard. Much of §164.14's problems go away with the new definition of "motor vehicle". However. 1 believe we should restrict unlicensed. or disabled motor vehicles and trailers to the actual businesses that deal with them rather than various zoning districts in which these and many other unrelated businesses may operate: 1-1 , 1-2, C-2, Downtown Core, Mainstreet Center. Unlicensed cars are okay at auto dealerships in C-2 or Downtown Core, but not at other businesses or residences in those zones. We don't want disabled or wrecked carp stored in a manufacturing plant's parking lot even if it is 1-2. These should be business sensitive rather than zoning district exceptions.

(See Chapter 14 of Title 27 of the Arkansas Code.) 164.14 Parking and Storage of Motor Vehicles and Trailers Motor vehicles and trailers required to be licensed must have current license plates properly attached if parked or stored (unless completely enclosed in a building) except within the business lot of the following legally operating businesses: auto sales, truck sales, motorcycle sales, trailer sales, junkyards, auto salvage yards, towing impound yards and auto body shop lots. Disabled motor vehicles or trailers must be stored inside buildings unless stored within auto salvage yards, junk yards, auto body shop lots, or towing impound yards.

Following is a description of these amendments, and attached is a replacement ordinance that includes all of the recommended changes. 1) Automotive repair shops. Rather than state that no motor vehicle to be repaired shall be stored on the premises more than 45 days, staff proposes specifying the types of vehicles that are more typically complained about, e.g, vehicles that have broken windows, are wrecked, have doors or hoods missing, wheels are removed, etc. The amendment clarifies that if a vehicle is wrecked or has missing/damaged parts such that it can not be driven, it may be stored outside for a total of 45 days. If more time is needed to make the repairs, the vehicle needs to be moved indoors or to a different property. A vehicle that simply has a motor problem, needs interior work or is disabled for some other reason, but otherwise appears to be a fully whole and functional vehicle without missing or damaged body parts, would not be limited on the time it can remain stored outside. 2) Parking on sidewalks. This section is currently located under motor vehicle repair shops. It should more appropriately be located under "parking and storage of certain vehicles." 3) Antique/hobbyist vehicles. Staff added this language to § 166.14 to clarify that antique/hobbyist vehicles are allowed to located on certain properties in the city, but if they are disabled, they must be stored inside. In addition to these amendments, staff has also prepared, for consideration, an "exception" clause for the unique circumstances that may cause a motor vehicle repair shop owner to request that a wrecked or bodily disabled vehicle be stored outside on the property more than 45 days. This language has not been included in the ordinance draft attached, and if desired, should be included as an additional amendment. I generally prefer to not have another "unique circumstance" to review for this particular ordinance, for I feel that it would be hard for planning staff to determine the circumstance is unique or verifiable, without getting into a business's records regarding when they ordered a part, or where it is manufactured, etc. Staff's recommendation is for the 45 days THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS maximum to be tried first, and if it becomes a common or prevalent issue, staff can bring back to the Council an exception clause or look at extending the 45 days. Exception Language 164.05 (E) Exceptions. A property owner that needs to request an extension to the maximum of 45 days of outdoor vehicle storage noted herein shall provide to the Planning Division evidence proving unique circumstances prevent the vehicle from being repaired within the 45 days, moved inside, or removed from the property. Such cases may be deemed suitable by the Planning Division, wherein the circumstance meets the purpose and intent of the ordinance. If the Planning Division approves the special exception, a permit letter will be issued for the address, indicating the time period that the specific vehicle(s) may continue to be stored on the property.
