The City Commission determines that whenever the repeated illegal use, sale, distribution, furnishing or possession of controlled substances or alcoholic beverages occurs on any real property, or whenever any real property is used repeatedly for the violation of laws regulating controlled substances, alcoholic beverages, or nuisance parties, a public nuisance may result. A public nuisance results from the increased criminal activity that occurs within the surrounding neighborhood, the increased pedestrian and vehicular traffic within the surrounding neighborhood, the increased noise and public disturbances that occur within the surrounding neighborhood by reason of loud music, yelling and screaming, brawls, domestic violence, damage to personal property, litter and public urination, and the fear engendered in the minds of neighbors living in the surrounding neighborhood.
