Ordinance No 2016-18 is on the Agenda tonight under Public Hearings that amends our Parking Regulations.
The ordinance will clarify and modify certain sections of the code that regulates parking at the beach and surrounding area as well as parking downtown and in residential areas. The major changes are as follows:
- No more than 2 motorcycles shall be allowed in one space
- A vehicle may not obstruct a handicapped parking space
- A person shall have 15 days to pay a citation (currently 10 days are allowed)
- No parking in a fire lane
- A person may not park in an alley so as to obstruct the alley
- Certain commercial vehicles shall not be allowed to be parked overnight in a residential district
- The Leisure Services Director, or designee, shall be allowed to waive or void certain fees and citations
- Administrative fees, as adopted in the schedule of fees, may be imposed

We need to designate a couple of parking spaces for motorcycles
Why should motorcycles get special treatment? They are a vehicle same as a car.If they can find an open space they should park in it,same as a car. The city and PBSO need to boot and haul away the Kava bar advertising vehicles constantly taking up parking spaces on Lake Ave.
I don't get the motorcycle regulation. Why two to a spot? You can often park many more and why limit it, seems like by parking more than two to a spot they free up spots for cars.
If you have to park adjacent (running with the curb) to the curb, only two motorcycles will fit back to back. I would suspect that this is the rationale otherwise you have motorcycles parking in any manner they choose like the photo above.
