?3 PROPOSED AMENDMENT 4 (Article 4, Section 4.12 Historic Preservation Overlay District) Based on concerns expressed to staff related to inappropriate vehicular parking on lots in the Rosemount - McIver Park Historic District, staff is proposing an amendment that set standards for vehicular parking within said District. The proposed text amendment would prohibit parking of vehicles (automobile, bus, truck, tractor, motor homes /RVs, motorcycles, motorized scooters/ mopeds, all- terrain vehicles, recreational vehicles, golf carts, go -carts, trailers, campers or other similar devices) on grass, dirt or similar erodible surface. Staff recommends revising the Section Title of 4.12.7 to "Section 4.12.7 Off Street Parking ", and adding Subsections with standards for Off - Street Parking Requirements in the Rosemount McIver Park Historic District. The Historic Preservation Commission recommends approval of the proposed text amendment.
