RE:First Reading, Ordinance No. 2021-2231: Amendments to Golf Cart Ordinance

REQUEST:

This request is for City Council to conduct a first reading of an amendment to the City’s Golf Cart Ordinance.



DISCUSSION
:

The proposed changes to the City’s golf cart ordinance will allow access to the City by residents of neighboring jurisdictions and expands the opportunities for the use of golf carts by residents and visitors to the City. The changes simplify the regulations and allow for reliance on existing Florida Statutes which provide comprehensive requirements regarding necessary equipment and golf cart operation. The revisions remove unnecessary requirements and the ordinance will more accurately align with Florida Statutes, Department of Transportation regulations, and current Florida Attorney General Opinions.



RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance as submitted.



BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no funding requirement.
