§ 25-21. Purpose and intent.

The city council finds that repeated sales of various types of personal property made from residential premises, wherein newspaper advertisements, signs or other means of notification invite the general public to shop at such residential premises, where the property is displayed for sale in the garage, an outbuilding, in the yard area, in the dwelling, or all or a combination of such locations, have become a nuisance to the community. The council finds that locations where successive sales occur create vehicular traffic problems and detract from the tranquility and privacy of neighborhoods. The council finds that two (2) sales periods of not more than three (3) days each from any single residential premises do not have an adverse effect on the community. The council further finds that this article offers the minimum regulation necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of this community in such regard.
