Public areas should be accessible and available to residents and the public at large for their intended uses. The unauthorized use of public property for the storage of excessive personal property interferes with the rights of other members of the public to use public areas for their intended purposes, including those with accessibility issues, and can create a public health or safety hazard that adversely affects residential and commercial areas. The purpose of this chapter is to maintain public areas in a clean, sanitary, and accessible condition to prevent the misappropriation of public areas for personal use, and to promote the public health and safety by ensuring that public areas remain readily accessible for their intended uses.
