RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Authorizing the Rescheduling of a Public Hearing to Consider an Ordinance Creating Volume 1, Chapter 94, Article 1, Section 94-9 Relating to Micromobility Devices and Motorized Scooters on Pensacola Beach.

That the Board authorize the rescheduling of a public hearing from Thursday, March 5, 2020 at 5:31 p.m., to Thursday, June 4, 2020, at 5:31 p.m. to consider an Ordinance creating Volume 1, Chapter 94, Article 1, Section 94-9 relating to Micromobility Devices and Motorized Scooters on Pensacola Beach.

BACKGROUND:

Recent changes to the Florida Uniform Traffic Control Law allow counties to enact ordinances to permit, control, or regulate the operation of vehicles, golf carts, mopeds, motorized scooters, and other mobility devices on sidewalks or sidewalk areas, so long as certain requirements are met. The Santa Rosa Island Authority requested the Board of County Commissioners enact an ordinance governing the use and operation of micromobility devices and motorized scooters on Pensacola Beach. County Attorney staff drafted this Ordinance, which regulates the operation of such devices on Pensacola Beach. This Ordinance will be presented and discussed during Santa Rosa Island Authority meetings in April and May 2020.
