§ 18-20. Purpose and intent.

(a)

The city council has elected to enact an ordinance regarding golf cart operation and equipment which is more restrictive than those enumerated in F.S. § 316.212, relating to the operation of golf carts on roadways to protect the public health, safety, welfare and to ensure the protection of pedestrian bicycle and all vehicular travel within the City of South Daytona and its citizenry.

(b)

The city council has determined that certain city-maintained streets are uniformly configured by platting and right of way designation; that golf carts are currently an accepted mode of limited destination travel; that traffic counts do not generate negative results germane to restricted golf cart use and legislation; that use of golf carts has been reviewed, investigated, and analyzed by TMH Consulting and Lassiter Transportation Group and no negative findings were generated; and the City of South Daytona has found it operationally and economically feasible to implement F.S. (2008) § 316.212.

(c)

It is the intent of the city council of the City of South Daytona to protect the public health, safety and welfare and to ensure the protection of the traveling public and the citizens of the City of South Daytona by this legislative enactment.
