MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND'THE
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER1
SCOTT WILLIAMS, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR
MEETING DATE: JULY 20, 2010
SUBJECT: AM10-03 -AMENDMENTS TO ALLAPPLICABLE SECTIONS OF
THE ZONING ORDINANCE RELATIVE TO THE SALE OF
GOODS AND MERCHANDISE FROM RESIDENCES
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission consider the
amendments to all applicable sections of the zoning ordinance relative to the sale of goods
and merchandise from residences, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Zoning Ordinance does not currently specifically address garage and yard sales,
leaving staff few options for enforcement when a resident has an excessive number of
sales. Code Enforcement has historically interpreted the home occupation provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance to apply when dealing with such cases. However,there is nothing in the
ordinance that addresses the length of time for garage sales, nor the number that may be
held.
Attached are survey results from 12 area cities relative to garage sales. Eight of the cities
surveyed require a permit and four do not. Of the eight cites which require a permit, four
do not charge a fee for the permit. Garage sale permit fees range from $2.50 to $10.00.
The frequency of garage sales allowed in most cities was no more than two per calendar
year, not to exceed three consecutive days. In addition to garage sales conducted at
individual residences, some cities regulated neighborhoodlcommunity garage sales as well.
The proposed ordinance amends the various residential zoning districts by specifying
criteria for the sale of merchandise and goods from a home. The proposed ordinance
limits the number of sales that can be held, but no permits or fees are required. This will
enable staff to enforce complaints when there are an inordinate number of sales, but will
not place a burden on citizens that wish to have sales that comply with the ordinance.
City Council discussed regulation of garage sales at their June 1, 2010 workshop and
directed staff to move forward with a draft ordinance.
