The city has an interest in the protection of residential privacy, the well-being and tranquility of the home. The City Council finds that, without resorting to targeted residential picketing, ample opportunities exist for those otherwise engaged in targeted residential picketing to exercise constitutionally protected freedoms of speech and expression.
For the purposes of this section, the term “targeted residential picketing” means:
1. Marching, standing, or patrolling by one or more persons directed solely at a particular residential building in a manner that adversely affects the safety, security, or privacy of an occupant of the building;
2. Marching, standing, or patrolling by one or more persons which prevents an occupant of a residential building from gaining access to or exiting from the property on which the residential building is located; or
3. Standing, marching, patrolling, or picketing by one or more persons focused in front of or adjacent to a particular residential dwelling without the consent of that dwelling’s occupants.
