A.
The purpose of Chapter 12 of the City of New Buffalo Code of Ordinances is to maintain the present tradition of this community regarding noise and nuisances. It is meant to exempt certain activities which are currently acceptable and eliminate the need for those activities to seek permits. This chapter is not meant to advance nor inhibit religion and is enacted to avoid the excessive government entanglement that issuing permits would entail with those activities which are currently acceptable in the community.
B.
The City of New Buffalo encourages a lively social environment, economically
viable downtown with a wide variety of uses in a pedestrian-oriented
setting and peaceful and pleasant residential areas.
