(A) Barrels and pots for the display of flowers or flowering plants may be set on sidewalks in the street right-of-way in a non-residential area during the plant-growing season. All barrels and pots placed pursuant to this section shall:
(1) Be constructed of durable material;
(2) Be securely attached if hung from a pole; and
(3) Not be hung or placed so as to come in contact with cars parked in designated parking areas or interfere with pedestrians using sidewalks or persons getting in or out of parked vehicles.
(B) All barrels and pots placed where sidewalks exist shall be placed in the portion of the sidewalk nearest to the street and shall be placed so at least three feet or two-thirds of the width of the sidewalk, whichever is greater, remains unobstructed. No portion of a barrel, pot, or plant located within 20 feet of a street intersection or within ten feet of an alley intersection shall be higher than three feet over that portion of the street nearest the barrel, pot, or plant. This shall not prohibit trees within this restricted area where the branches and/or leaves are at least six feet above the portion of the street nearest the tree.
(C) All barrels and pots shall be subject to approval by the City Manager, or the designee of the City Manager, as being in compliance with the requirements of this section and not creating a hazard to pedestrians and vehicles.
