Lavonia City Council Approves Parking Ordinance Amendments

The City of Lavonia has approved two ordinances regarding public parking.

At their meeting on Tuesday, the City Council voted to amend the parking ordinance for certain hours and to approve an ordinance regarding off-street unloading.

City Mayor Courtney Umbehant outlined the unloading ordinance.

“This is to help make sure that parking is respected and that all businesses have access to their properties,” he explained. “This encourages alleyway usage for loading and unloading when appropriate, and limits to 15 minutes when those parking places are blocked during business hours.”

After hearing from the Mayor, the city council voted unanimously to amend the off-street parking ordinance.
