"MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC," CHAPTER 4, ENTITLED "PARKING
REGULATIONS," TO ESTABLISH A PILOT PROGRAM FOR FOOD
TRUCK VENDING IN THE DOWNTOWN. (FIRST CONSIDERATION)
Comment: In 2015 the City established a food truck vending permit system to
allow vendors to operate on City streets except in certain restricted areas such
as the downtown area, residential areas, and within 150 feet of any restaurant.
Vendors have requested to be allowed to vend during the late evening and early
morning hours in the downtown. At the direction of Council, this ordinance allows
the City Manager to establish a pilot program to allow vending during the late
evening and
�early
ymorning hours in the downtown.

ENTITLED "CITY UTILITIES," ARTICLE H, ENTITLED "SOLID WASTE," BY
DEFINING "DOWNTOWN" IN THE PERMIT SYSTEM ADOPTED BY
RESOLUTION AND AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATIVE RULES. (FIRST
CONSIDERATION)
Comment: Currently the City Code provides that solid waste containers (aka,
dumpsters) cannot be placed in a public alley in the "downtown" without a permit,
and downtown is defined as the CB -10 zone. Staff proposes to expand this to
include the public alleys in the "northside." This ordinance deletes the definition
of downtown and provides that it should be defined in the permit system adopted
by resolution. The proposed northside area is bordered by Gilbert St. to the east,
Bloomington St. to the north, Dubuque St. to the west, and Jefferson St. to the
south. Should this ordinance pass its first two considerations, a resolution

/ 7 -/3
Comment: HF 2414 which the Gov'r. signed on May 9, 2016 (codified at Chapter
321N of the Iowa Code) voids all local ordinances regarding the regulation of
Transportation Network Companies (e.g., UBER and LYFT) as of Jan. 1, 2017.
The City passed Ord. No. 16-4663 in April 2016 to allow companies such as uber
to operate in Iowa City. Cities no longer have home rule authority to regulate
ride -sharing companies, and these companies now must obtain a license to
operate from the State of Iowa.
