Council unanimously approved legislation for safe parking zones, with the aim of getting people living in their cars from parking on city streets.
Cars that some argue are clogging up neighborhood streets can instead park in designated, legal parking zones. The Council approved safe parking legislation on April 19, but theThe Council said the law approved Tuesday allows safe parking zones to be established while they work to find permanent regulations.
"This ordinance puts standards in place to protect the residents of safe parking and limits potential neighborhood impacts," said council member Ryan Mello. "Without this ordinance, site operators won’t have the certainty they need to invest in the amenities and tools required to host safe parking." Safe parking sites will be allowed on land owned or managed by a religious organization. Up to four limited-duration sites are allowed on property operated by a religious group, nonprofit or government agency, pending county approval for public health and safety standards, the council said.
Sites run by religious groups can serve up to seven vehicles in unincorporated Pierce County, but sites serving eight or more vehicles are only allowed in urban zones, pending county approval.Public meeting to discuss neighborhood concernsOn-site restrooms, potable water and trash cansMello said the legislation gives the county's Planning and Public Works Department time to make permanent regulation changes.
