Body

SUMMARY: 

 

Chapter 33 of the Clearwater Code of Ordinances (Waterways and Vessels) regulate the use of waterways and the conduct of all persons using such waterways, expect as otherwise provided by law. Section 33.055, addresses prohibited mooring, beaching and placement of vessels at city owned facilities. Currently there is no daily time limit that a vessel can moor and occupy one of the city’s non-leased public slips or docks. In an effort to provide greater docking opportunities to the boating public, increased turnover of the limited number of non-leased public slips and dock space is in the best interest of all city residents. Those found in violation of Section 33.055 are subject to receiving a civil citation.
