REQUEST:
The Community Development Department-Code Enforcement Division requests
the City Commission considers information regarding boat and trailer parking and
advise Staff of desired action.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to request the City Commission consider information
regarding boat and trailer parking and advise Staff of desired action.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Under current regulations, recreational vehicles, including boats, trailers, and campers are
prohibited from parking in front yards and driveways. (Section 20-411) No provision is made
for the temporary loading, unloading, cleaning or maintenance of the recreational vehicle.
CONSIDERATIONS:
Some residents store their boats and campers in off-site locations. In order to leave on a trip
early one morning, the vehicle must be picked up from the storage site the previous evening. It
may be parked in the driveway for 8-10 hours. In addition, after a camping or boating trip, the
vehicle must be cleaned before being returned to the storage site. It may be necessary to pre-
load a camper or boat the night before a trip. This is not possible at the off-site facility.
A survey of some other municipalities revealed that a "grace" period of 24-72 hours within a 7-
day period is often allowed for the purpose of maintenance. The city of Naples has a 48 hour

grace period, the city of Boca Raton has a 24 hour grace period, the city of Winter Park has a 24
hour grace period, the city of Altamonte Springs has a 72 hour grace period and the city of
Longwood has a 24 hour grace period. The city of Casselberry allows camping vehicles a grace
period of36 hours, but not boats and the city of Del ton a allows a grace period of36 hours for
boats and campers.
We have residents that are continually the subject of police complaints. The moment a boat
appears in their driveway, the police or code enforcement staff are summoned and requested to
issue appropriate notices and warnings.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that a period of time not to exceed 48 hours be afforded residents to allow for
the vehicle to be stored in the front yard to accommodate the needs of the resident. Staff
recommends the City Commission review the information presented and direct Staff to take
appropriate action.
