conducted on a recurring basis.

responsible regulations permitting property owners and occupants
reasonable opportunities to conduct legitimate yard sales, while minimizing
adverse impacts of such sales on the adjoining residents.
3. On May 23, 2007, the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga conducted a duly noticed public hearing concerning this manner
and took action recommending adoption by the City Council of this
Ordinance.
4. On June 20, 2007, the City Council of the City of Rancho Cucamonga
conducted a duly noticed public hearing concerning the adoption of this
Ordinance.
5. All legal prerequisites prior to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.
