A dealer in motor vehicles shall only engage in such businesses at a permanent location and in accordance with permitted or conditional zoning district requirements. This provision shall not apply to the occasional sale of a motor vehicle by a private owner upon his or her own property in a residential zone.
(2) Bungee jumping.
A. Purpose. The City Council finds that the practice of bungee jumping, also known as bungee cord jumping and reverse bungee jumping, has resulted in personal injuries and deaths which are likely to continue to occur. The City Council notes that most bungee jumping operations are conducted in combination with the use of a crane which has not been designed or manufactured for those purposes. The City Council concludes that bungee jumping is an inherently dangerous and life- threatening practice, likely to cause great harm or death to the participants.
B. Definition. BUNGEE JUMPING means the sport, activity or practice of jumping, stepping out, dropping or otherwise being released into the air while attached or fastened to a cord made of rubber, latex or other elastic type material, whether natural or synthetic, whereby the cord stops the fall, lengthens and shortens, allows the person to bounce up and down and is intended to finally bring the person to a stop at a point above the surface.
C. Prohibition. The practice of bungee jumping in any form whatsoever, whether open to the general public or for demonstration, exhibition or other purposes, is hereby prohibited.
D. Penalty. It shall be a misdemeanor to violate any provision of this subsection (d)(2).
