As such, the Council hereby establishes regulations which restrict certain offenders from residing or congregating in areas that are at or near where there is a high concentration of children in order to provide better protection for children in the City by minimizing immediate access and proximity to children and thereby reducing opportunity and temptation for recidivism.
