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, 1998.
Section 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.
