The City hereby finds and determines that the unlimited and unregulated use of public recreational property in the City by commercial or professional instruction establishments interferes with the use and enjoyment of such facilities by the general public and burdens the City's related maintenance and safety services.
The purpose of this chapter is to establish a special operations permit requirement for such establishments to maximize their compatibility with the use of the public recreational property by the general public and minimize the burden on the City's related maintenance and safety services.
