A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF ANAHEIM ESTABLISHING A "NO PARKING" AREA
IN THAT AREA GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS THE
JEFFREY-LYNNE NEIGHBORHOOD.
WHEREAS, Section 14.32.370 of Chapter 14.32 of Title
14 of the Anaheim Municipal Code authorizes the City Council to,
by resolution, establish "No Parking" areas on City streets; and,
WHEREAS, no operator of any vehicle may stop, stand,
park or leave standing such vehicle in any such "No Parking" area
after such "No Parking" area is established and appropriate signs
or curb painting are placed; and,
WHEREAS, the establishment of the "No Parking" area in
the locations described below is necessary due to the following
concerns and to enhance the public, health, safety and welfare of
the resident of the area, the users of the public streets and the
public at large:
1. The area described below is the location of numerous
and continuing incidents of illegal drug sales on
the public streets and sidewalks.
2. The illegal drug sales are conducted between
pedestrians and motorists and often occur in
parked vehicles or vehicles stopped on the streets.
3. Parked vehicles on the streets preclude and impair
police observations of illegal drug sales on the
public streets.
4. The public streets in the area are overcrowded with
vehicles which, in combination with parked vehicles,
restrict the ability of pedestrians and drivers to
observe and avoid other vehicles and pedestrians.
5. Members of gangs who formerly resided in the area
return to the area and park their vehicles on the
streets in order to congregate with other gang
members on the public streets.
6. While parked on the public streets the gang members
engage in illegal drug sales, engage in noisy and
unruly behavior and activities, and generally
disrupt the peace and tranquility of the residential
area and the occupants thereof.
