These rules and regulations are designed to control and restrict garage sales in order to protect the public health, safety and convenience and to restrict such sales to casual and/or occasional occurrences only, in keeping with the character of the neighborhood where this activity is carried on in compliance with Chapter 152, Zoning, of Title XV of the Berne City Code. The intent of this chapter is to eliminate perpetual, prolonged and extended garage sales in residential areas. Such sales, if continued indefinitely, tend to become retail businesses in residential areas and zones, create a nuisance, and often violate the zoning regulations of the city. The provisions of this chapter arise from the need to limit, regulate, restrict and control garage sales. It is not the intent of this chapter to change or amend Chapter 152, Zoning, of Title XV, and/or any other ordinances of the city.
