Article VIII (Camping and Storage of Personal Property) of Chapter 10 <br /> is hereby amended to add a new Section and amend others to read as follows: <br /> ARTICLE VIII. — CAMPING AND STORAGE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY <br /> Sec. 10-400. - Purpose. <br /> The public parks, public streets and alleys, public parking lots, public rights-of-way, <br /> parkways, public sidewalks, and other publicly-owned or controlled property within the <br /> City should be readily accessible and available to residents, businesses and the public at <br /> large for their intended purposes. The use of these public areas for Camping purposes <br /> and/or for the Storage of Personal Property interferes with the rights of others to use and <br /> enjoy these public areas as they are intended. Such activity can constitute a public health <br /> and safety hazard which adversely impacts neighborhoods and commercial areas. The <br /> purpose of this article is to maintain these public areas within the City in a clean, sanitary, <br /> safe and accessible condition, to adequately protect the health, safety, environment and <br /> general welfare of the community, and to ensure that these public areas are used for their <br /> intended purposes and remain accessible to all citizens, businesses and visitors in the <br /> City. Nothing in this article is intended to interfere with otherwise lawful and ordinary uses <br /> of public property. <br /> Sec. 10-401. - Definitions. <br /> Unless the particular provisions or the context otherwise requires, the definitions <br /> contained in this Section shall govern the construction, meaning and application of <br /> words and phrases used in this article. <br /> (a) Camp or Camping means to pitch, erect, or occupy an encampment, or to use camp <br /> paraphernalia or both, for the purpose of, or in a way that facilitates outdoor sheltering for <br /> living accommodation purposes, or for remaining outdoors overnight, or to use a vehicle <br /> for human habitation.
