AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 3101.6, Paragraph (c) of the Carson Municipal Code which
now reads:
'Regulations for Temporary Stands. All temporary stands for the sale of
fireworks shall be located, maintained and operated subject to the following
provisions:
(c) No fireworks stand shall be located within a residential zone"
is hereby amended to read:
"Regulations for Temporary Stands. All temporary stands for the sale of
fireworks shall be located, maintained and operated subject to the following
provisions:
(c) No fireworks stand shall be located within a residential zone except in those
circumstances where the City Council finds and determines that the presence of
a fireworks stand will not be detrimental to the surrounding residential
neighborhood."
Section 2. This Ordinance shall expire and terminate 12:00 midnight on July 4.
1997.
Section 3. There exists within the City of Carson a limited number of suitable
locations for the sale of fireworks. Many non-profit community organizations have
planned for and applied for permits to operate fireworks stands in order to raise money
for their community projects. Some of these organizations do not have suitable
approved locations for such stands because the Revenue Division under present
regulations cannot issue permits for fireworks stands in residential areas. This
ordinance will permit the City Council to allow such stands in residential areas if the
Council finds and determines that such stands will not be detrimental or hazardous to
the surrounding areas. This ordinance is therefore necessary for the public peace and
safety, is an urgency ordinance and shall take effect immediately.
