The purpose of this chapter is to provide guidelines for the use and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in order to provide residents and businesses of the city protection from invasions of privacy by UAVs, and to allow the city's law enforcement agency to regulate usage and apply penalties for unlawful usage of a UAV. Use of UAVs also poses a public safety concern to other aircraft or objects in the air, and to city residents and businesses at ground level, and to real and personal property, in the event of UAV malfunction, loss of control, or other inability to sustain flight as intended.
