Wasson, City Manager BY: Keven R. Klopp, CommunityDevelopment Directo/`'` p DATE: April 12, 2024 SUBJECT: Proposed New Regulations for New Vehicle Sales April 18, 2024 City Commission Workshop Agenda May 7, 2024 Local Planning Agency Meeting Agenda May 7, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading) June 4, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission amend the zoning regulations in Chapter 31 pertaining to new vehicle sales as shown in Attachment#1. THE REQUEST The proposed amendment would 1) Allow new vehicle sales agencies in B-2 Zoning with outdoor display of vehicles and test drives prohibited, as well as other related restrictions; 2) Eliminate the limit on the number or vehicle showrooms with test drives that could operate at Aventura Mall (the current regulations limit it to one); and 3) Require conditional use approval for any automobile agency other than those listed above. BACKGROUND The City received a request for a variance in order to allow Rivian Automotive, Inc. — an electric truck manufacturer — to operate an agency at Aventura Mall, display vehicles, and provide test drives in the same manner as Tesla. The variance request prompted reconsideration of the City's regulations. The car buying experience has been undergoing significant changes in recent years as a result of advancements in technology and changing consumer preferences. Online shopping is now more prevalent than in-person shopping at a dealership. The experience envisioned by the proposed regulations allows the vehicles to be experienced in a typical retail shopping environment, while recognizing that delivery and future maintenance of the vehicle will take place in some other place and manner. Attachment#1 Sec. 31-144. Business Zoning Districts. (c) Community Business(B2)District.This district is intended primarily to provide for general commercial activity for a wide range of goods and services to the entire community and sub region.Such businesses generally require locations convenient for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic and would be expected to have orientation toward and direct access to arterial roadways.

Wasson, City Manager DATE: April 12, 2024 SUBJECT: Sister City with Modi'in (Mayor Weinberg) April 18, 2024 City Commission Workshop Agenda The Mayor has requested the above matter be placed on the Workshop Agenda for discussion. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. RJW/act Attachment CC04013-24 E-Bikes and Scooter Notes 1. Intent - Chapter 316, Florida Statutes, the Florida Uniform Traffic Control Law, was enacted to "make uniform traffic laws to apply throughout the state and its several counties and uniform traffic ordinances to apply in all municipalities." Section 316.002, Fla. Stat. - It is an express preemption - The purpose of the act was to eliminate the "hodgepodge of ordinances which vary as to language and penalty," resulting in an inconvenience and hazard to travelers. See the preamble to Ch. 71-135, Laws of Florida, creating Ch. 316, Fla. Stat. 2. Electric Bikes & Scooters. Section 316.20655 & Section 316.2128 Scooter - In 2003, the AG and the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles determined that motorized scooters were not permitted to operate on roads within the State. AGO 2003-44 - In 2006, the Legislature adopted Section 316.2128, which further clarified that"A person who engages in the business of, serves in the capacity of, or acts as a commercial seller of motorized scooters or miniature motorcycles in this state must prominently display at his or her place of business a notice that such vehicles are not legal to operate on public roads or sidewalks and may not be registered as motor vehicles. Chapter 2006-290, LOF. - In 2010, the Legislature amended Section 316.2128 to allow local governments to permit scooters on sidewalks. Chapter 2010-223, LOF. - In 2019, the Legislature adopted the law we have today. It created a definition for micromobility devices and scooters. It also permitted scooters on roads, but continued to prohibit miniature motorcycles. Chapter 2019-109, LOF. Electric Bike - In 2020,the Legislature amended the definition of bicycle to delete electric bicycles. The 16 year old age restriction of electric bicycles was also deleted. A new definition of electric bicycles was created. Section 316.20655, F.S. was also adopted by the Legislature. Chapter 2020-69, LOF. This created the electric bicycle statute. 3. Electric Bike Statute - We can adopt an ordinance through the exercise of our powers under s. 316.008. - What are our powers? 316.002 provides that Section 316.008 enumerates the area within which municipalities may control"certain traffic movement"or"parking" in their respective jurisdictions. 316.007 provides that no local authority shall enact or enforce any ordinance on a matter covered by this chapter unless expressly authorized 316.008 lists out a variety of powers relating to traffic movement or parking. The provisions relate to where a vehicle may go or operate, but does not authorize ordinances regulating the drivers or operators of such vehicles. In order to regulate the operator of a vehicle, such as age, the Legislature would need to provide express authorization. HB 7049 which unfortunately did not pass would have allowed the Village to adopt age limits. In support of the bill, the House staff analysis clearly states that the Bill would have given local governments"express authority" to adopt such regulations. 4. Age Limits As mentioned above, the Legislature removed the age limit for electric bikes defaulting to the bicycle regulations where there is no age limit. There is also no age limit for operators of scooters. Only riders under 16 would need to wear a helmet. Where the Legislature prescribes the manner in which something is to be done, it acts as a prohibition against its being done in any other way. See Alsop v. Pierce, 19 So. 2d 799, 805 (Fla. 1944). In this instance, the Legislature has specified who may ride a E-bicycle or scooter on the public roads and streets of this state. It states that the only limitation under the age of 16 to riding a bicycle is that you need to wear a helmet. Therefore, without further legislation I do not believe that you can require age limits for personal devices.
