Body
BACKGROUND:
In 1982, the City enacted an ordinance prohibiting trespassing which is codified under Cathedral City Municipal Code section 11.08.080. The ordinance prohibits either refusing to leave both private and public property either: (a) after being asked to leave; or (b) where the property is posted with “No Trespassing” signs. The ordinance may be enforced by the police and a violation is a criminal infraction (similar to a traffic ticket).
The ordinance was introduced and received first reading on June 10, 2015.
DISCUSSION:
The ordinance as originally written only applies to private residential property. This ordinance would revise the ordinance to make it instead applicable to all private property
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
