Mascotte, FL to Consider an Ordinance Affecting Certain Parking Prohibitions

Per City Council’s direction, this ordinance provides a comprehensive update to the City’s on-street parking regulations. This ordinance adopts Chapter 316, Florida Statutes by reference which contains State regulations pertaining to the parking of vehicles. Notably, the ordinance regulates the manner of parking, identifies prohibited areas where on-street parking is not allowed, prohibits the obstruction of traffic, identifies purposes for which parking is prohibited, and provides procedures for the removal of vehicles that are illegally parked in streets, ROW, and public parking areas under certain conditions. Parking in residential districts is also regulated. Please note that this ordinance does not address development-related parking regulations such as the number of vehicle spaces required for unit construction. Such regulations are part of the Land Development Code. In addition to the parking regulations themselves, this ordinance provides comprehensive procedures regarding issuance of parking violation notices and meets due process requirements through the creation of an appeal process whereby alleged violators may contest a parking violation notice in County Court. The ordinance sets a fine schedule for parking violations and provides for disposition of civil penalties and costs. Such procedures are absent from the current Code.
