§ 11-100. Purpose and findings  


Latest version.
  • The city council finds that the present marketing methods used for newspapers, magazines and other goods upon rights-of-way by means of easily movable, individual, freestanding, vending machines poses hazards to the traveling public, interferes with the property rights of adjacent owners and with other legitimate users of the right-of-way, causes visual blight and detracts from the aesthetics of adjacent uses, and results in an unnecessary degree of exposure of the city to liability claims.

    The city council hereby intends to regulate and control such conditions by declaring them to be a public nuisance, and to provide for their abatement and for procedures for notice, hearing and appeal, where applicable.

(Ord. No. 79-7, § 2, 6-4-79)
