Full Breakdown

Sec. 58-31(c) prohibits camping, sleeping, and parking (except for emergencies) in any Deltona right-of-way or public land under the city commission's authority, along with any other use that would tend to obstruct traffic, unless the city grants prior written approval. The section folds in Florida's statutory definition of public camping or sleeping under F.S. § 125.0231, overnight lodging in a tent, temporary shelter, or in the open air, while exempting lawfully registered, parked vehicles and county- or city-designated recreational camping areas. The rule reaches blocked sidewalks and travel lanes as much as unauthorized camping.

Violations & Fines

Camping, sleeping, or otherwise obstructing traffic in a city right-of-way without prior written city approval is a code violation; unauthorized recreational use is likewise barred.
