J ( "CV 0 9.b Ordinance prohibiting on-street parking within ten feet of a "Yield" sign. Ordinance amending Title 9, entitled "Motor Vehicles and Traffic", Chapter 4 entitled "Parking Regulations", Section 1, entitled "Parking Prohibited in Specified Places" by prohibiting parking within 10 feet of"Yield" signs. (First Consideration) .G1-.- � Comment: Currently, the City Code prohibits on-street parking within ten feet upon the approach of any flashing beacon, stop sign or traffic control signal located at the side of the roadway. The reason for the prohibition is that cars parking at these locations can interfere with approaching drivers' ability to see traffic signs and signals and create a hazardous situation. While the same principle applies equally to yield signs, they do not currently have the same protection in the City Code.

(Second Consideration) Comment: The City Code currently requires taxicab companies to apply by May 1 for a business license that begins June 1 and also requires taxicab companies to have an approved unique and distinctive color scheme and design for their fleet vehicles prior to the application deadline. Pedicabs are currently required to be substantially similar in color and design. This ordinance amendment removes the color scheme requirement for taxicabs and adjusts the annual start date to match the City's fiscal year, changing the application deadline to June 1 and the effective date to July 1. It also removes the requirement for pedicabs to be substantially similar in color. Staff is requesting expedited actn.
