BACKGROUND The omnibus ordinance and related resolutions are an annual practice where multiple minor changes are proposed to the Pleasanton Municipal Code. These changes often reflect updates in California law, changes to the code to reflect current city practices, as well as deleting out-of-date provisions and references. These non-controversial code updates are combined into a single omnibus ordinance. During this omnibus review, related changes are proposed to the Master Fee Schedule and for resolutions to formalize city practices. DISCUSSION Each of the proposed amendments to the municipal code are described below and shown in Attachment 1.' §1 .24.010 Applicability. Specify that violations of the Pleasanton Pioneer Cemetery Rules and Regulations are subject to administrative citation. This includes trespass or staying beyond hours of operation. §2.29.070 Organization. Clarify that Youth Commission officers serve from September to May, and meetings are subject to the Commissioner's Handbook. §2.38.020 Duties. Update Housing Commission duties to reflect actual practice that commission does not coordinate management of city affordable housing projects. Chapters 3.22 Public Facilities Fee and 3.26 Traffic Development Fee. Change fee names from Public Facilities Fee to Capital Facility Fee, the Traffic Development Fee to Transportation Fee and related changes to reflect the study previously adopted by Council on September 18, 2018 and Resolution 18-1047. §5.28.010 Establishment. Update the state law pursuant to which Downtown Pleasanton Business Improvement District operates. The 1979 state law cited in the municipal code was superseded in 1989 by a different provision of state law. §11.36.100 No parking zones. Add language to prohibit vehicle parking in bike lanes. §11.36.160 Minimum distance to move vehicle after parking in one space for 72 hours. To prevent persons from storing vehicles on public streets, the proposed addition would require a vehicle to be moved at least one block or 250 feet to avoid a citation for parking for more than 72 hours in one space. The minimum requirement prevents persons from monopolizing street parking in an area. The Police Department and Traffic Division need this authority to prevent persons from only needing to move their vehicle a few feet every three days. ' The ordinance shows proposed amendments in track changes. If introduced by the council on May 21st, at the subsequent meeting where the ordinance is adopted/ second reading, the amendments will be shown in final form as required by the code compilation company.
