(A) Vehicles which are or hereafter dismantled, partially dismantled, wrecked or inoperative, in places other than junkyards or other appropriate areas tend to interfere with the enjoyment of property, reduce the value of property, create fire hazards, extend and aggravate urban blight and result in hazard to the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, welfare, and happiness of the residents of the city. It is the purpose of this chapter to alleviate and correct such conditions and thereby enhance the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and welfare of the residents of the city.
(B) Furthermore, the purpose of this chapter is to restrict the outdoor storage, parking, or unreasonable accumulation of junk, unused, dismantled (partial/complete) of nonoperating motor vehicles upon premises primarily used or zoned for any type of purpose within the city; to thereby avoid injury and hazards to children and others; the devaluation of property values; and the nesting of rodents and bees.
