YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT |
| | | | | | | | Item No. 15.
For Meeting of: June 6, 2023 |
| | | | | | | | | ITEM TITLE: | Ordinance amending Yakima Municipal Code Section 9.25.020 Cruising permitted—Open cruising event | | SUBMITTED BY: | Sara Watkins, City Attorney |
| SUMMARY EXPLANATION: | | City Council requested that staff submit a proposed amended ordinance that changes the time of open cruising to 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Subsection (A) makes that change. Staff also added subsection (B) after review of the Truck Routes ordinance definition of truck. Under the truck route regulations, “truck” is defined as “any vehicle designed or operated for the transportation of property, and whose body weight or whose combined body and load weight or whose rated capacity exceeds twenty-six thousand pounds.” Truck cabs may not weight 26,000 pounds on their own, and other commercial vehicles, such as box trucks, do not meet the definition of “truck” either. As such, a section was added for your consideration, that would prohibit semi-trucks, semi-truck cabs, semi-truck tractors, and other commercial vehicles. |
