REPEAL OF SECTION 12-3-65 - PARKING FOR CERTAIN USES PROHIBITED - OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF PENSACOLA
end
BACKGROUND:
On September 9, 2021 City Council referred to the Planning Board a proposed repeal of Section 12-3-65 - Parking for certain uses prohibited - of the Land Development Code. Currently within City code, there are two (2) duplicative sections; 11-2-24 and 12-3-65 - Parking for certain uses prohibited.
At the same meeting, City Council approved an ordinance on first reading that, upon adoption, will amend Section 11-2-24 of the City Code to add clarity to the language regulating “parking for certain uses”. As the temporary parking of vehicles, and associated mobile activities is not related to zoning and is not the actual development of land, Chapter 11 “Traffic and Vehicles” is the more appropriate location for these requirements. In order to remove the duplicative language, and avoid creating conflict between the two Code sections, it is necessary to repeal Section 12-3-65.
