Great. Thank you. Councilwoman Lee. clarification or questions?
You have 300 square feet. Your three minutes are up. One second. Any last?
Sorry, I didn't understand what you said.
Thank you. Any other public comment? Okay, I think just for the council's edification again, you've heard a lot of things about parking, and parking in the streets has become a significant issue for the neighborhood. Again, I think the challenge that we're seeing is basically it's a two-way street, and in a lot of places we're seeing now cars are parked along one entire street. It's part of the street. So when one car is coming one way and the other car is coming the other way, we're on the same side of the street. And it's becoming a significant challenge and just actually technically dangero
I mean, I think that's a conversation more, again, for the BAC president that's here to continue to think how we address that because it continues to be a problem for sure.
Just one question. So for my own education, those roads are private, correct, inside the community. So why are we going to decide on what they can do or not do on those roads? Because it's still an ordinance of the city. So we're modifying an ordinance.
The main complaint that I heard is that the parking on the street, not the parking in the houses. I'm lost. I'm not sure what we decided on. We decided on them being able to park on the street. No, no.
This motion is not about parking on the street. That's just people are talking because that's an issue. But the motion is about, again, if you read the motion and the changes to the ordinance, is about changes of the garage facing and the requirements around that. That's what we're voting on.
Correct. Yeah, just how you're going to build a house. There's a separate issue that has to be addressed, but that's not what this is addressing. So, okay, I'll make the motion. You want to amend that, yeah? Yeah, so we need a motion to amend. We're moving those last two sentences in section... 21-3941. Yeah, 3841. 3841, yeah.
No, I mean, I think it has been socialized. Again, we just saw it. I think there's a very minor, that modification is a very minor modification.
Where are you speaking? What part of the ordinance are you speaking of?
It does say front setback. It should change to front setback, which is really the rear.
Great. Thank you. Council, any questions, comments? Public comment?
Okay. Make a motion. Do we need to amend with that one wording? Yes.
Okay. I'll make that amendment. Do we need to vote on that amendment? I know. Okay.
Excellent. Okay. We will close or adjourn the LPA meeting at this time and rejoin our regular council meeting.
