(A) It is unlawful to store or permit the storing of a discarded vehicle upon any private property within the city unless the vehicle is completely enclosed within a building or fence, or unless it is in connection with a business enterprise dealing in junked vehicles lawfully conducted with the city. All vehicles will have sight securing from the right-of-way(s) and other private property.
(B) The open accumulation and storage of a discarded vehicle is found to create a condition tending to reduce the value of private property, to promote blight, deterioration and unsightliness, to invite plundering, to create fire hazards, to constitute an attractive nuisance creating a hazard to the health and safety of minors, to create a harborage for rodents and insects and to be injurious to the health, safety and general welfare. Therefore, the presence of a discarded vehicle on private or public property is declared to constitute a public nuisance, which may be abated in accordance with the provisions of the chapter.
