§ 12.50.100. Standards for newsrack placement.

No newsrack (including in areas where newsrack controls and modular newsrack units are not determined to be necessary) shall be installed, used or maintained in any location upon public property, within any right-of-way, or within public easements adjacent to streets where such installation, use or maintenance endangers the safety of persons or property, or interferes with or obstructs the line of sight of pedestrians and drivers, or interferes with public utility, public transportation, or other government use, or unreasonably interferes with or impedes the flow of pedestrian, bicycle, or vehicular traffic, the ingress into or egress from any residence, place of business, or any legally parked or stopped vehicle, or the use of traffic signals, hydrants, mailboxes, or light standards and telephone poles or parking meters.

Additional standards to more specifically delineate placement requirements of newsracks within the public sidewalk area shall be included in guidelines promulgated by the Chief of Building Services. Such standards shall be consistent with the findings, intent and purpose of this chapter.

Criteria to be used by the city in determining the allocation of space available in modular newsrack units, when necessary, shall also be included in guidelines promulgated by the Chief of Building Services.
