§ 13-35. Legislative findings.

(a)

The South Bend Common Council finds that there are public safety reasons to impose ticket sales regulations. Such regulations are aimed at addressing undue congestion at key street intersections and along other public ways used by pedestrians caused by ticket sellers.

(b)

The Council further finds that such congestion contributes to increased noise in the adjacent neighborhoods and often damage to private property.

(c)

The Council further finds that the activity of persons engaged in ticket selling often interferes with the ability of residents of adjacent neighborhoods to quietly enjoy their private property.

(d)

The Council believes that reasonable regulations of ticket selling in the City of South Bend would serve the community interest by helping to provide a safer environment and enhancing the quality of life where such activity is currently causing detrimental effects on the safety and welfare of the residents of the City.
