Ex. Sunny Isles Beach code
Ex. Bal Harbour Beach code
Potential specific regulation areas:
§ Require removal from the beach daily at specific times
§ Revise code to limit to only as-needed on-demand distribution with staging in only a specific area, including potential height and trailer size restrictions.
§ Limit pre-setting to a specific amount of equipment (chairs, loungers, and umbrellas, etc.)
ex. 0.1 chairs & umbrellas per lineal ft of beach frontage per beach furniture operator.

§ Expand storage limitations to only in specific, limited areas on a vendor operation plan.
