§ 5.88.220 — Legislative findings and purpose

5.88.220 Legislative findings and purpose.

The city council finds that mobile service business vehicles parked on public rights-of-way for the purpose of selling or offering to sell services impede the free flow of traffic, distract vehicle operators from observing traffic regulations, obstruct the view of pedestrians and of vehicle operators, and encourage pedestrians who wish to inquire about services to cross the street in an unsafe and illegal manner. The public safety necessitates the exercise of the city's police power, through the enactment and enforcement of this article, for the purpose of regulating mobile service business vehicles.
