to adopt reasonable ordinances to protect and improve the public health, safety, and welfare of
the citizens of Tybee Island, Georgia, and
WHEREAS, the duly elected governing authority for the City of Tybee Island, Georgia,

WHEREAS, the governing authority desires to amend the Code dealing with parking

WHEREAS, the City of Tybee Island previously amended Sec. 66-185 pertaining to
restrictions on decal usage but, due to procedural error, it must be readopted, and
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the governing authority of the City of Tybee
Island that the Code of Ordinances is hereby amended so as to establish a new section to be
designated as Section 66-185 and that the Code be amended so as to provide as follows:
Sec.. 66-185. Restrictions on decal usage.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Code, decals applied to trailers,
recreational vehicles, and boat trailers may not be used to authorize parking for more than 24
hours in one parking space from Memorial Day weekend beginning at 12:00 a.m. on Friday of
the Memorial Day weekend through the Labor Day weekend ending at 12:00 p.m. on Labor Day.
Commercial trucks and commercial vans with parking decals may not occupy a parking space for
more than 24 hours on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend beginning at 12:00
a.m. on Friday of the Memorial Day weekend through the Labor Day weekend ending at 12:00
p.m. on Labor Day. This provision, however, shall not be applicable to beach equipment rental
businesses as long as authorized vehicles of such business are in the designated space. Further,
no automobile or any other vehicle may be legally parked by use of a decal in the same parking
spot continuously in excess of 7 consecutive days. The penalty provisions provided in Sec. 66-
184 for misuse of decals shall have specific application to violations of the provisions hereof in
addition to any other fines or penalties authorized by the Code.
It is the intention of the governing body, and it is hereby ordained, that the provisions of
this ordinance shall become and be made a part of the Code of Ordinances, City of Tybee Island,
Georgia, and the sections of this ordinance may be renumbered if necessary to accomplish such
intention.
This Ordinance shall become effective on 22 day of May, 2014.
