Recommended Action on Second Reading
The City Commission approve Ordinance No. 2024-28.
General Information
Prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2024-13, regulations regarding marine vessels were included in the Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) Chapter 13, titled Docks, Seawalls, Other Structures and Marine Vessel Regulations. Because regulations regarding marine vessels are more appropriately addressed in the City Code than in the Unified Land Development Code, as these are not land development regulations, this amends City Code, Chapter 82 - Waterways by adopting a new Article III - Marine Vessel Regulations.
The City Attorney has reviewed Ordinance No. 2024-28 for form and correctness.
Information for Second Reading
The City Commission heard the first reading of Ordinance No. 2024-28 at its Regular Meeting on July 23, 2024, and continued the ordinance as presented to second reading on August 6, 2024.

In accordance with Florida Statutes Section 166.041(4)(a), on July 5,2024, the City timely posted a business impact estimate on the City’s website, before the date the newspaper published notice of this ordinance’s final reading.
