REQUEST FOR ORDINANCE AMENDMENT/TRUCK PARKING RESIDENTIAL AREAS Subject: Statement of the Matter A letter has been received from the R. E. Laubscher family on Janis Way in Carlsbad requesting Council consideration of an amendment to the City Code to preclude the parking of trucks on residential streets unless loading or unloading. At the present time the Code permits parking for a three hour period. The complainants would like to see this time limit eliminated except as stated.

Additionally, the truck owner may work on the vehicle for any time length. Exhibit Letter to City Manager from Robert E. Laubscher family dated September 28, 1976.
