The purpose of this chapter is to assist code/law enforcement in minimizing the impact that squatter camps have on the city’s quality of life. Squatter camps are unsightly, accumulate over time on public and private property causing blight and similar conditions resulting in reduction of property values and deterioration of the city’s neighborhoods, are detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare, and constitute a public nuisance.
