Purpose and Intent
San Diego Municipal Code § 51.1002
in effect§51.1002 Purpose and Intent
The City of San Diego finds and determines that: the control of large parties, gatherings or events on private property is necessary when such continued activity is determined to be a threat to the peace, health, safety or general welfare of the public. Police officers are often required to make several return trips to a location of a party, gathering or event in response to complaints, in order to disperse uncooperative participants, and the return of police officers to a location constitutes a drain of personnel and resources often leaving other areas of the city without minimal levels of police protection; all of which creates a significant hazard to the safety of the police officers and to the public in general.
