REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />MARCH 19, 2019 <br />TITLE: <br />ORDINANCE FIRST READING: AMENDING <br />SANTA ANA MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION <br />10-153 RELATED TO LOUD AND <br />RAUCOUS NOISE <br />(STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL 1, 5). <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />IG1=160:191 <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 1s' Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Approve first reading of an ordinance amending Article I of Chapter 10, Section 153 of the Santa <br />Ana Municipal Code regarding Crimes and Miscellaneous Law Enforcement Provisions, <br />amending the word "Person," to include property owners, pursuant to loud and raucous noise <br />violations. The proposed revisions also allow for administrative fines for property owners who <br />allow illegal conduct to occur upon their properties. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On February 1, 1993, City Council approved Ordinance No. NS -2184 adding Section 10-153 to <br />Chapter 10 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The original version was developed for the <br />purpose of regulating electronically amplified loud and raucous noise within the City of Santa <br />Ana. <br />Currently, the municipal code permits residents to report disturbances in their neighborhoods <br />anonymously while allowing the Police Department to respond to the disturbance locations and <br />either request compliance or end the disturbance via enforcement action. Since the inception of <br />the ordinance, enforcement has been problematic as it pertains to identifying the responsible <br />party for the amplified loud noise. The proposed Santa Ana Municipal Code revisions will allow <br />enforcement to occur against the actual property owner, thus eliminating the need to identify the <br />individual on scene responsible for the disturbance. <br />The City has evaluated the community needs and concerns as it relates to enforcement of the <br />current municipal code. In doing so, the City has determined the municipal code currently only <br />addresses activity occurring on a property but fails to allow for necessary enforcement against <br />actual property owners that permit these types of disturbances to occur on a continual and <br />ongoing basis. It is the property owner's allowance of these types of violations that push this <br />specific community complaint and ultimate law enforcement response to one of the highest calls <br />50A-1 <br />
