A. It shall be unlawful for any person to store personal property, including camp facilities and camp paraphernalia, in the following areas, except as set forth in subsection B below:
1. Any park;
2. Repealed by Ord. 2911.
3. Repealed by Ord. 2911.
4. Any publicly-owned property to which the public is not ordinarily allowed access, e.g., public buildings, water storage tank sites, well sites, storm water ponds and facilities, and other secured properties;
5. That portion of any street or sidewalk that is expressly reserved for vehicular or pedestrian travel;
6. Portions of the street right-of-way that are not expressly reserved for vehicular or pedestrian travel; and
7. Any other publicly-owned parking lot or publicly-owned property, improved or unimproved.
B. The prohibitions contained in subsections (A)(1), (A)(4), (A)(5), and (A)(7) above shall be enforced at all times. Law enforcement officers shall not enforce the prohibitions in subsection A.6 above when there is no available overnight shelter for individuals or family units experiencing homelessness. “Available overnight shelter” means a public or private shelter, with an available overnight space, open to an individual or family unit experiencing homelessness at no charge. If an individual or family unit cannot use available space because of the individual or family member’s sex, familial or marital status, religious beliefs, disability, or a shelter’s length-of-stay restrictions, the space is not considered to be available. The space is also not considered to be available if an individual has attempted to secure a bed at the shelter by lining up in advance of the shelter opening for the day and has denied entry due to lack of available space. The space is considered available if the individual could not use the space due to voluntary actions such as intoxication, drug use or unruly behavior.
