(A) This article is intended to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the people of the city by prohibiting the maintenance or accumulation of those plants determined to be of major allergenic significance, or which constitute a fire hazard when wind collected, or which otherwise present a hazard or nuisance to inhabitants of the city. Further, this article is intended to promote the growth of native and other grasses and plants whose root structures tend to aid in stabilizing the soil and reducing dust. It is also the intent of this article that by prohibiting those methods of plant removal and control which fail to differentiate between harmful and helpful plants and which tend to create the still greater problem of air pollution, the aforementioned purposes will be realized and accomplished.
(B) This article is also intended to promote the general health, safety and welfare of the people of the city by prohibiting the throwing, depositing or accumulation of litter in public places.
