Ordinance — Second Reading: Chapter 10 SAMC <br />October 17, 2017 <br />Page 3 <br />5. Section 10-551(a)(16) regarding outdoor showers. Upon further analysis, City <br />Staff has revised the following sub -section to clarify the forms and types of <br />outdoor showers. The use of these outdoor shower structures without proper <br />plumbing, allows waste water runoff to spill into public walkways and ultimately <br />into storm drains which is a violation of the City's National Pollutant Discharge <br />Elimination System permit. City Staff has revised the sub -section as follows: <br />Any structure or apparatus that can be described or used as an <br />outdoor shower. <br />Section 10-551(a)(17) regarding temporary toilets. Upon further analysis, City <br />Staff has revised the following sub -section to clarify the prohibition of <br />temporary toilets: <br />Samping-er-aAny items used as temporary toilets for human waste. <br />7. Section 10-551(a)(18) regarding the storage of bicycle parts. City Staff believes <br />that the storage of non-functioning bicycles or bicycle parts promotes not only <br />added mass to the Civic Center Area for insects and rodents, but it also <br />promotes the elicit collection and/or sale of bicycles that may have been initially <br />unlawfully obtained. In addition, the dismantling of the bicycles and their parts, <br />and the oil and grease that is a byproduct of this activity, adds to additional <br />health and safety concerns as these are hazardous chemicals and also raises <br />fire safety concerns due to the flammable nature of the oil and grease. <br />8. Section 10-551(a)(19) regarding recyclable materials. City Staff seeks to <br />retain this sub -section. The collection of bottles and cans in the Civic Center <br />Area poses a health concern. Rodents and insects are attracted to the <br />residual soda left in the containers and then stored in the Civic Center Area. <br />9. Section 10-551(a)(20) regarding area rugs or carpets. City Staff seeks to <br />retain this sub -section for health reasons because rugs and carpets absorb <br />liquids of any type (namely, urine and waste water run-off which are prevalent <br />in the Civic Center Area) as well as any dried material (which could include <br />dried fecal matter and dirt). <br />10. Section 10-551(a)(21) regarding the establishment of any building or structure <br />and the running of electric lines or utility cords across the Civic Center Area. <br />City Staff seeks to revise this sub -section to remove the portion that deals with <br />the construction and establishment of building or structures due to the <br />revisions in 10-551(a)(2). City Staff seeks to retain the portion dealing with the <br />running of utility cords or lines due to the inherent risk of electrical shorts, fire <br />11 A-3 <br />
