“Okay. Is there any comments by council? Are there any comments by the public regarding these issues? Hearing none, we will take our vote. All in favor say aye. Aye. All against? Ayes have it. We'll move into unfinished business. Item A is an ordinance second reading amendments to chapter 23 zoning of the code of ordinances of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, removing the maximum area account for bedrooms, sleeping areas, and residential districts.

“But we're removing because we had an ordinance in place that where we were trying, because we were having parking issues where we had people build rental houses and they basically had, they would have 10 cars and they could only park four or five. And then it created a problem with the neighbors. So we came up with something that would eliminate that, but it didn't really work because then people would say, It wasn't a bedroom, it was an office, and they found ways to circumvent the ordinance. So now we've changed that to regulate that by parking the number of cars that can park. So this is…”

“Absolutely, but we are not changing the ordinance that regulates boats and trailers or RVs. They're already existing in the ordinance that already exists where they can park in their side yard or their backyard. A lot of that is being misinterpreted online.”

“then there was one thing um that came up uh that i wanted to bring up was i think we had a 24-hour thing where you could park a trailer or a boat um in your yard and one thing uh was thinking about it's like we have a lot of people that come down here that rent a home for a week and they put their boat in the water and then they park their trailer at their home and they may be renting a house where you don't have a side or a backyard and there is nowhere else that they can park that trailer. So maybe amending that to be seven days or something like that was just an idea.”

“The only other thing, though, with that, Jim, is I did think about Cherry Grove, which is mostly where this happens. Most all of those houses are on stilts, so a lot of those people, when I see it happen, they push that trailer under the house, which is legal. You're biding by the ordinance if you put it under the house.”

“It's in my driveway. In this ordinance, we're making no changes to the existing ordinance that allows you to have a boat or trailer or RV in your side or rear yard. I get, but we're not making a change. So whatever's happening there is still falling under the same rules we're governed by right now.”

We'll move into item C, which is an ordinance second reading amendment chapter 22, vehicles for hire regarding towing from private property.
