A.
The City of Prescott, by its Common Council, has determined that
lewd conduct in the public domain, within the City, presents substantial
risk of promoting promiscuity, prostitution, and sexually transmitted
disease, destroys the quality of life, is injurious to families, increases
the incidence of juvenile delinquency, crime, and disorderly conduct,
and reduces property values, blights the City neighborhoods, and is
detrimental to the health and welfare of the citizens of the City.

the quality of life, and increases the incidence of crime, disorderly
conduct, and juvenile delinquency. The purpose of this chapter is
