Title
An Ordinance amending Chapter 29; Traffic and Motor Vehicles, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by revising Appendix B; Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, for certain streets and segments of streets located in the City of Lee's Summit. (PWC 12/02/19)
Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance amending Chapter 29; Traffic and Motor Vehicles, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by revising Appendix B; Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, for certain streets and segments of streets located in the City of Lee's Summit.
Key Issues:
These changes, additions and removals to Appendix B, Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, are proposed based upon several existing No Parking zones that have been enacted and subsequently signed/posted by the City Traffic Engineer in accordance with authorizing ordinances. Including these parking restrictions in Appendix B will ease public and policing reference and record keeping. Many of the proposed changes, additions and removals to Appendix B also simply correct various formatting and redundancy errors in the current schedule for consistency and clarity.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 29; Traffic and Motor Vehicles, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by revising Appendix B; Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, for certain streets and segments of streets located in the City of Lee's Summit.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance amending Chapter 29; Traffic and Motor Vehicles, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri, by revising Appendix B; Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, for certain streets and segments of streets located in the City of Lee's Summit.
Background:
These proposed changes, additions and removals to Appendix B, Schedule of Stopping, Standing and Parking Restrictions, are made to reflect several existing No Parking zones enacted and signed/posted by the City Traffic Engineer (CTE) in accordance with other authorizing ordinances that had not been previously described in Appendix B for ease of reference and public record. Many of the proposed changes, additions and removals to Appendix B also simply correct various formatting and redundancy errors in the current schedule for consistency and clarity. Specific information related to each material amendment is noted below:

The remaining amendments are proposed to correct various formatting errors.
The proposed amendments do not include pending No Parking request(s) currently in process of CTE approval, No Parking restrictions that are contingent upon accepted roadway construction for CIP or development (e.g. Redbuck and Pergola Park at New Longview), or changes to downtown parking previously discussed with City Council in association with downtown (re)development projects until such activity nears completion.
Impact/Analysis:
This amendment should correct various format and other errors, clarify various No Parking restrictions, and improve public reference and record for sections of roadway that have No Parking already established based on more recent actions of the City Traffic Engineer authorized by ordinances. New areas of No Parking proposed that require City Council approval to enact are included in the amendments (i.e. Dick Howser Drive and Lake Drive). Those specific new areas of No Parking will be signed if approved by City Council (maps attached).
