§ 464.95. Newsrack corrals.

(a) Newsrack corrals may be placed and maintained on the public sidewalks by the city at locations acceptable to the director subject to the provisions of this section. The director may approve any proposed location where, as determined by the director, substantial pedestrian traffic, sidewalk congestion or the presence of an excessive number of newsracks within close proximity of one another suggests the need for certain limits on the number and placement of newsracks.

(b)

Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this chapter, the director shall develop equitable criteria to allocate space within a newsrack corral, where necessary, giving first priority to newsracks displaying publications that are then currently displayed within thirty (30) feet of such corral.

(c)

Prior to installing corrals at particular locations, the director shall consult with and solicit the views of representatives of relevant city agencies, city council, relevant neighborhood groups and entities which issue regular editions of publications distributed on the public right-of-way.

(d)

Subject to the criteria established pursuant to section 464.95(b) above, the director shall allow any person to place or maintain a newsrack within a newsrack corral, so long as such person maintains such newsrack in conformity with all requirements of this chapter and so long as such person is not prohibited from placing such newsrack at the location of such corral by any provision of this chapter.

(e)

No person shall place or maintain a newsrack within a newsrack corral unless the newsrack is unobtrusively attached by plastic coated cables, plastic coated chains or otherwise to the corral so as to ensure stability of the newsrack.

(f)

No person shall maintain a newsrack within twenty-five (25) feet of a newsrack corral unless the newsrack is lawfully placed within the corral at that location. (2008-Or-104, § 1, 12-12-08)
