WHEREAS, Lakeside Park is located wholly within an established residential platted subdivision
known as the Yacht Club Addition to the Village of North Palm Beach ("Yacht Club Addition"); and
WHEREAS, due to its location on the Intracoastal Waterway, Lakeside Park attracts large
crowds on weekends and holidays and the number of vehicles far exceeds the limited on-site
parking area; and
WHEREAS, to reach Lakeside Park, those vehicles must traverse the local residential roadways
within the Yacht Club Addition; and
WHEREAS, the roadways within the Yacht Club Addition are owned and maintained by the
Village and were dedicated to serve the residents of the subdivision and were neither intended to
act as collector roads nor anticipated to provide parking for those accessing Lakeside Park; and
WHEREAS, the relatively large number of persons accessing Lakeside Park on weekends and
holidays results in the use of these purely residential roadways for non-residential parking,
thereby impeding access to the subdivision both by residents who reside within the subdivision
and emergency vehicles responding to calls within the Yacht Club Addition; and
WHEREAS, Section 166.021(4), Florida Statutes, grants municipalities the authority to exercise
their home rule powers for municipal governmental, corporate or proprietary purposes not
expressly prohibited by the constitution, general or special law; and
WHEREAS, Section 316.008(1)(a), Florida Statutes, expressly grants municipalities the right to
regulate or prohibit stopping, standing or parking on the streets and highways under their
jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council determines that prohibiting daytime weekend and holiday parking
on the local residential roadways within the vicinity of Lakeside Park within the Yacht Club
Addition promotes the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Village of North Palm Beach.
