The City Council finds and determines that any cart outside of the immediate business property or premises and control of the business owner is a public nuisance. Carts may contain trash/waste and other debris that can be potential hazards to the health and safety of the public. When wrecked, dismantled or abandoned, carts accumulate on public or private property, creates conditions that are dangerous, environmentally harmful, and contribute to the deterioration of property values. Carts are generally known to promote blight and deterioration, can obstruct free access to public and private sidewalks, streets, parking lots, and interfere with pedestrian and vehicular traffic as well as emergency services. These conditions, in addition to the removal from an owners' premises, constitute a public nuisance.
