necessary to protect the public health, welfare <br /> and safety and to insure that the damage to the <br /> City's streets is minimized. The City Traffic <br /> Engineer may also require the depositing of a <br /> bond in an amount established by the aforementioned <br /> Fees and Charges Resolution." <br /> <br /> Section 2. Severabil..ity.. If any provision or clause of this <br />ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason <br />by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or uncon- <br />stitutionality shall not affect the remaining provisions or <br />clauses, and the City Council hereby declares that it would have <br />enacted each and every provision and clause of this ordinance <br />notwithstanding that any provision or clause be found invalid or <br />un cons t it uti on al. <br /> <br /> Section 3. This ordinance shall become effective immediately <br />upon its introduction and adoption by a four-fifths vote of the <br />City Council as an urgency measure. <br /> <br /> Section 4. The circumstances creating the urgency are as <br />follows: <br /> <br /> 1. The City of Pleasanton has located adjacent to <br /> its City boundaries, a large deposit of commercial <br /> gravel which is presently being mined by various <br /> trucking firms, said mining causes a substantial <br /> number of trucks to use the City's streets, es- <br /> pecially the streets between Stanley, First and <br /> Sunol. <br /> <br /> 2. There are a large number of trucks not related <br /> to the gravel industry which travel the City's <br /> streets who do not have a specific location <br /> toward which they are traveling for the purpose <br /> of delivering merchandise or building or struc- <br /> tural material. Said trucks have been parking <br /> regularly in residential zones in the City of <br /> Pleasanton as well as creating a congestion on <br /> the streets of the City. <br /> <br /> 3. The residential streets and other non-truck route <br /> streets are not of sufficient strength to take <br /> repeated use by large trucks, thus it is impera- <br /> tive that these trucks be restricted from the use <br /> of these streets in order to prevent the public <br /> health, safety and welfare from being detrimen- <br /> tally affected by the disrepair of streets and the <br /> parking of large trucks in residential zones. <br /> <br /> -3- <br /> <br /> <br />
