PURPOSE. The City finds and declares that certain offenders are a serious threat to public safety. Given the  high rate of recidivism for sex offenders, the City believes that, in addition to the protections afforded by state  law near schools, day care centers and other places children frequent, reducing opportunity and temptation is  appropriate  to  minimizing  the  risk  of  re‐offense  to  better  protect  the  children  in  these  public  places.  This  section is a regulatory measure aimed at protecting the health and safety of children in the City from the risk  that convicted sex offenders may re‐offend in locations close to their residences and where children tend to  congregate or be regularly present. It is the intent of this section not to impose a criminal penalty but rather  to serve the City's compelling interest to promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the  citizens  of  the  City  by  creating  safety  zones  around  locations  where  children  regularly  congregate  in  concentrated numbers wherein certain sexual offenders and sexual predators are prohibited from loitering  and establishing temporary or permanent residence and wherein access by certain sexual offenders and sexual  predators shall be restricted and excluded.  This Chapter is not intended to limit any persons from exercising  their right to assemble or engage in any other constitutionally protected activity.
