Executive Summary: Drones were specifically prohibited in all City of Fremont park and recreation areas in June 2021. Staff is recommending an amendment to the existing subsection (y) of Section 12.20.060 to better reflect the authority of the City under the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and to add subsection (z) to Section
12.20.060 to clarify the manner that drones and other devices may be operated in the airspace above City parks.
The ordinance was introduced by the City Council at its June7, 2022 meeting. The ordinance is now before the Council for adoption.
ATTACHMENTS:
• Draft Ordinance Drones in Parks
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt ordinance.
