Cocoa Beach City Commission Bans Vehicle Booting and Regulates Street Performers
- Meeting Overview:
During the recent Cocoa Beach City Commission meeting, the Commission approved two ordinances: one prohibiting vehicle booting on private property and another regulating street performers within the city. The meeting also featured discussions on updating the Cocoa Beach Art Show and finalized a new resolution for electric bike regulations.
The Cocoa Beach City Commission has passed Ordinance 1704, which prohibits the immobilization of vehicles through booting on private property within city limits. This decision aims to streamline parking enforcement and reduce conflicts between private property owners and motorists. The ordinance includes specific definitions, exceptions, and enforcement measures.
Another development was the introduction of regulations for street performers and buskers in the city with the adoption of Ordinance 1705. This ordinance establishes areas where street performances are allowed and prohibited, primarily focusing on high-traffic zones to avoid congestion and conflicts. The ordinance allows for flexibility, granting the city manager authority to adjust performance zones during special events as needed.
The Commission also discussed plans for the upcoming Cocoa Beach Art Show. Changes include relocating the main stage to the newly built stage at city hall and removing food trucks to support local restaurants. The Commission is considering selling beer on city property during the event, pending informal consensus among members. The art show, scheduled for the weekend after Thanksgiving, will continue long-standing traditions while encouraging community participation.
Additionally, the Commission accepted a bid from multiple landscaping companies for grounds maintenance across 34 service areas.
