COUNCIL BUSINESS
#1. Council Members discussed the proposed ordinance amending Section 51-24-1 relating to use regulations and parking lot sales. This ordinance would prohibit parking lot sales, except those of a temporary nature which are conducted on the licensee’s parking lot immediately adjacent to the licensed premises as an extension of the licensee’s normal business activity, and except those conducted for the selling of Christmas trees.
Councilmember Shearer asked for a definition of “parking lot”. Ms. Shearer expressed concern that the same type of sales are being conducted on vacant lots. Councilmember Whitehead asked why these sales were a problem and why the ordinance was drafted. Craig Peterson, Director of Development Services, said the ordinance was drafted in response to problems with various temporary merchants conducting business without licenses in areas not zoned for sales. Council Members expressed concern that the ordinance was not comprehensive enough to deal with the problems in other areas.
Without objection the ordinance was referred back to planning and zoning for additional drafting and clarification.
(O 82-55)
#2. The Council discussed the resolution declaring the intention of the City Council to construct improvements on certain streets within Salt Lake City, to create Curb and Gutter Extension 38-723. Max Peterson, City Engineer, presented the Council with a map showing areas where curb and gutter would be constructed for the 38-723 project. Councilmember Shearer asked when the curb and gutter district would be created for the 1300 South project. General discussion followed concerning the 1300 South project.
The Council agreed without objection to place the resolution on the consent agenda for Tuesday, November 9, 1982.
(Q 82-32)
