The City Council of the City of Fullerton finds and declares that:
A. Coin vending machines placed on public property in a location which unreasonably interferes with, or impedes, the flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, creates a nuisance which jeopardizes the safety of the citizens of the City by preventing safe passage to and from public sidewalks, public streets, roadways or parkways.
B. The public display of pictorial material depicting nudity and sexual conduct ("harmful matter") in publications contained in newsracks located on public rights-of-way or public places is patently offensive and harmful to passersby when readily visible to them, and is detrimental to a healthy moral environment to which persons of the City are entitled.
C. Such public displays of harmful matter are thrust indiscriminately on children and unwilling adults and constitute assaults upon individual privacy.
D. Every person is entitled to use the public rights-of-way in the City without being subjected to such public displays of harmful matter.
E. Such public displays of harmful matter constitute a public nuisance.
F. The purpose of this chapter is to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of persons in the City, and to reduce liability exposure of the City to personal injury or property damage claims and litigation through the regulation of placement, appearance, number, size and servicing of newsracks on public rights-of-way. (Ord. 2919 § 1 (part), 1997).
