§ 12.50.050. Areas requiring newsrack controls.

The Chief of Building Services will identify locations city-wide (typically identified as a block or blocks of a particular street) where immediate newsrack controls shall be implemented. Declaration of need for newsrack controls at those locations identified by the Chief of Building Services shall be based on findings outlined in Section 12.50.020. At those locations, newsrack permits shall be issued and consolidated modular units (as deemed to be necessary) shall be installed. Those areas shall be posted with a public notice identifying the locations in which controls will be required. Notice shall be sent to each publisher and distributor identified as having a presence in the area. The notice will provide for a period of one hundred twenty (120) days for full compliance (to allow for coordination, the ordering of materials, and installation of equipment.) Conditions that are found to be an imminent hazard shall be corrected immediately.

Notwithstanding the requirements listed above, all newsracks, city-wide, (individual racks as well as modular units) shall comply with clearance standards and obstruction criteria established in the guidelines promulgated pursuant to this chapter.
