Requiring commercial recreational boat proprietors seeking docking permits in city-owned marinas to designate parking for boat customers and visitors.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring commercial recreational boat proprietors seeking docking permits in city-owned marinas to designate parking for boat customers and visitors

This bill would require the city Department of Parks and Recreation to require proprietors of commercial recreational boats, as a condition of the Department issuing or renewing commercial recreational docking permits in city-owned marinas, to designate parking spaces for the customers of their boats. As part of the new docking permit condition, the Department would require of the proprietors that the number of designated parking spaces equal or exceed 50 percent of the legal capacity of each proprietor’s boat. The Department would also require that the designated parking spaces be located within three city blocks of each commercial recreational boat’s docking location.
