City Council Discuss Front Yard Parking

The City of San Angelo City Council discussed a proposed amendment to the Code of Ordinance that would conditionally prohibit parking in front yards. Though a mock-up version of the amendment was introduced at the May 21 City Council meeting, discussions about creating it had been underway for quite some time prior. The City Council met on Jan. 18 to discuss the matter, with multiple members citing their primary reason for wanting the ordinance amended as complaints raised by residents about unsightly vehicles located in their neighbors’ front yards. The City Council chose not to take action on the amendment just yet, instead opting to send it back for further review and revision to answer questions raised during the meeting. The City Council expects at least two readings to occur regarding the amendment before a decision is made.
