Sec. B13-14. Targeted picketing of residences prohibited.

(a) No person shall engage in picketing activity that is targeted at, and is within 300 feet of, a residential dwelling. A "residential dwelling" is a permanent building being used by its occupants solely for nontransient residential uses. "Targeted" picketing is picketing activity that is directed at a particular residential dwelling and proceeds on a definite course or route in front of or around that residential dwelling.

(b) A person who is aggrieved by acts prohibited by this section may bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for injunctive or declaratory relief and/or damages. The damages may include costs, attorneys' fees and such other relief as allowed by the court, including, but not limited to, a civil penalty in the amount of up to $1,000.00. These remedies are in addition to any other equitable or legal remedies available to the aggrieved person, and are in addition to remedies that may be available in the criminal process.

(Ord. No. NS-636.00, § 3, 8-7-01)
