The city council of Redlands does find, determine and declare:
A. The distribution of commercial advertising material upon residential property without their permission in the city creates widespread litter which is unsightly; inadvertently advertises the absence of occupants of the property to the dissolute or criminal elements of society, thereby increasing the possibility of criminal activity and the resulting police problems to the city, and places an unnecessary burden upon the residents and city to properly dispose of the commercial advertising materials;
B. Door to door commercial solicitation of unwilling recipients by salesmen of goods and services jeopardizes the right of residents in the city to enjoy the privacy of their homes and serious public offenses have been committed by purported solicitors;
C. The practice of distributing, depositing, placing, throwing, scattering, and casting advertising matter in or upon motor vehicles and in or upon the public streets and in public places, except to persons who are willing to receive the same, creates a serious police problem and a threat to the public safety in that such material is permitted to fall and is thrown upon parking areas, public streets and public places, and is blown about and accumulated as trash and creates fire hazards and unsightly conditions, and requires extra expense to remove such trash;
D. Such practices are injurious and inimical to the public health, safety and welfare of residents of the city and such problems are becoming increasingly direct and substantial;
E. Such practices are, therefore, declared to be a public nuisance;
F. Such practices should be prohibited to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the city. (Prior code § 41502)
