Re: Proposed Skateboard Commercial Area Regulation Ordinance
Pursuant to the Board' s order on this matter, this office has
prepared the attached proposed ordinance for the Board's
consideration, possible introduction and adoption.
As requested, this ordinance provides that where the Board of
Supervisors by subsequent action (resolution) directs that its
regulations prohibiting the use of skateboards and toy vehicles are
to apply to the involved described commercial area, the regulations
shall therein apply after appropriate posting.
This ordinance's method of limited area application is similar to
that utilized when the Board adopts boat speed and slow area
regulations for specified Delta waterways (Ord. §§ 410-4 . 002 et seq. )
or acholic beverage and motor vehicle use restrictions for some
County park areas (Ord. Code §§ 1110-2 . 202 et seq. ) .
