The Planning Department is willing to help in regards to zoning standards that may apply; stating we need to refer this permanently to the City Engineer and Planning Department, so it can be reviewed internally by these Departments; further advising if we get any future requests, he recommends we get a drawing from the property owner to show exactly where they would like to park; further explaining if the Clerk’s Office receives a request that is out of the right-of-way, refer it to the City Engineers Office and copy the Planning Department.
