A. It shall be unlawful for any person to create or maintain a public nuisance within the city, or to permit a public nuisance to remain on premises under the person's control within the city. However, public nuisances are expressly declared to be conditions detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the city.
B. While the city supports an ongoing commitment to aesthetic values, situations which violate aesthetic standards but which do not create any actual or potential detriment to the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the city are not "public nuisances" as the term is used in this chapter. Situations involving private nuisances shall not use the provisions of this chapter to interfere with the normal resolution of these problems through civil process or private action.
