Background
At the direction of the City Commission, staff conducted a comprehensive update of Chapter 66, Traffic and Vehicles, to improve clarity, enforceability, and alignment with State law while balancing neighborhood preservation and property owner flexibility. Key changes include limits on recreational vehicle storage, clarified parking restrictions, updated commercial vehicle regulations, and strengthened towing and enforcement procedures. Following first reading, revisions were made to Section 66-18 to clarify how modified vehicles under 10,000 lbs. GVWR are regulated, provide an exception for ADA equipped vehicles, and establish verification procedures for vehicle classification and registration. The City Commission voted 6 to 1 in favor at first reading. These amendments modernize the City’s vehicles regulations, enhance public safety, reduce enforcement ambiguity, and reflect resident input and Commission direction.
