r~ 0 del 100 newsrack. Staff has recelved no complaints from
newspaper vendors wlth reg a rd to the requirements. In fact,
vendors are qulte receptlve to the Clty1s newsraek ordlnance 1 n
that 1 t reduces malntenance costs and 1 os s of machlnes.. Cltlzens
are receptlve to the changes 1 n news racks due to the aesthetlc
lmprovement of the street.
The Clty has been enlarglng Zone A by amending the news rack
ordl nance approxlmately every six months to include additlonal
areas. ThlS approach was adopted to mlnlmlze the lmpact on
newsrack merchants by spreadlng the replacement costs of
newspaper vendlng machlnes over a multl-year perlod. The lntent
was to lnclude the entlre Clty under the ordlnance..
ThlS 1 ncremental enlargement of Zone A i s both tlme consumlng and
adminlstratlvely cumbe rsome. Staff belleves that the ordlnance
Should be amended at thlS tlme to state that Zone A encompasses
the entlre Clty. For lmplementatlon purposes, the Clty would be
di vlded lnto 4 sectlons (see attached map). Each sectlon would
have a dlfferent compllance date wlth compllance 1 n the entlre
Clty be 1 ng completed by January 1 , 1987, as shown below:
Sectlon 1 January 1 , 1985
Sectlon 2 August 31, 1985
Sectlon 3 Ap nl 30, 1986
Sectlon 4 December 31, 1986
