It is the purpose and intent of the City Council of the City, through the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter, to provide additional enforcement tools to protect public and private property from acts of vandalism and defacement especially, but not limited to, graffiti on privately and publicly owned walls which are inimical and destructive of the rights and values of private property owners as well as the total community. The power of graffiti to create fear within the community and blight upon the landscape, devaluing property and detracting from the sense of community enjoyed by residents of Fullerton, is beyond the cost of cleanup or removal. Not only is graffiti a property crime, but a social crime on the quality of life and freedom from intimidation citizens desire within their neighborhoods. (Ord. 2833 (part), 1993).
