AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS,
CALIFORNIA, AMENDING DIVISION 9 OF THE PALM
SPRINGS ORDINANCE CODE BY ADDING THERETO SECTION
I 9407.00 ESTABLISHING THE P-D, PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT AND AMENDING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
AND CHANGE OF ZONE SECTIONS TO PROVIDE FOR
PROCEDURE FOR PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Division 9 of the Palm Springs Ordinance Code is hereby
amended by adding the following Section 9407.00 :
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (P-D)
Purpose. The Planned Development District is designed to provide
various types of land use which can be combined in compatible relation-
ship with each other as part of a totally planned development. It is the
intent of this district to insure compliance with the General Plan and
good zoning practices while allowing certain desirable departures from
the strict provisions of specific zone classifications. The advantages
which are intended to result from the application of the Planned Develop-
ment District are to be insured by the adoption of a precise development
plan with a specific time limit for commencement of construction.
I A. APPLICABILITY OF REGULATIONS. The following regulations and
general rules set forth in this Section and Section 9402.00 (Conditional
Use Permit) shall apply in a Planned Development District. Where a
conflict in regulations occurs, the regulations specified in this section
shall apply.
B. USES PERMITTED. In a Planned Development District , only those
uses shown on the development plan for the particular Planned Development
District may be approved by the Planning Commission and City Council
after these bodies have made a finding that said uses are in conformity
with the General Plan and sound community development .
The following limitation of uses shall apply:
1. In residential zones there can be a multiplicity of
types of residential development provided the General
Plan density regulations are not violated , and further
provided that, at the boundaries with existing residen=
tial development or where typical development is permitted,
the form and type of development on the Planned Development
District site boundary is compatible with the existing or
potential development of the surrounding neighborhoods.
2. A specific commercial use for property adjacent to an
existing commercial zone may be approved as a Planned
pevelopment District when said property is to be used for
additional off-street parking or an extension of buildings
proposed in the existing commercial zone. Where this is
permitted , the plan for the total property shall be sub-
mitted and the applicant shall clearly detail, by engin-
eering and architectural specifications and drawings , the
-1-

Ordinance No. 775
Page 2.
manner in which the subject area is to be developed and
the means that will be employed to protect the abutting I
property and the health, safety, welfare and privacy
enjoyed thereon.
3. Additional uses may be permitted in the Planned Development District
including churches, nursery and day schools for pre-school
children, when these uses are located on a secondary or
major thoroughfare as indicated on the General Plan Street
Plan or when these uses are integrated into an overall
development plan and when in both instances the proposed
use would not adversely affect the uses of property in
adjoining areas
C. HEIGHT, YARD AND AREA REQUIREMENTS.
1. Maximum height, bulk, yards, parking and loading require-
ments shall be established for each Planned Development
District by the development plan approved by the Planning
Commission and City Council.
2. Minimum Lot Frontage: To preserve and protect the value
of properties adjacent to a proposed Planned Development District
and to provide for an orderly and uniform transition,
lots which will be adjacent or across the street from
existing residential developments shall be required to
provide an amount of street frontage not less than that I
of existing lots, but not greater than minimum ordinance
requirements for the zone in which they are located.
3. Minimum Lot Size: Residential lot sizes in a Planned Development
District may be reduced below the minimum standards
required by the Zoning Ordinance. As a prerequisite,
the developer shall demonstrate that there is a reason-
able relationship between the proposed lot size and the _
usable and accessible open area within the total develop-
ment. An individual lot shall be large enough to provide
for private open space associated with the living accom-
modations.
D. OPEN SPACE. A Planned Development which includes residential
uses shall provide open space as follows:
1. When the required minimum lot area is reduced below the
standards set forth in any R-1 Zone, the amount of the
open space provided shall be equal to or greater than
the sum of all reductions of the required minimum lot
size.
2. If the development is situated in an R-2 Zone, the open
space shall be an area of 2,000 square feet for each
proposed dwelling unit.
3. If the development is situated in an R-3 Zone, the open
space shall be an area equal to or greater than 1,000
square feet, times the number of proposed dwelling units.
4. If the development is situated in an R-4 Zone, the open
space shall be an area equal to or greater than 400 square
feet, times the number of proposed dwelling units.
Ordinance No. 775
Page 3.
The topography of such open space shall be as follows:
I At least fifty (50) percent of the area designated as open
space shall be comprised of land with slopes of ten (10)
percent or less. Water areas and land occupied by drainage
channels, utility easements and slopes, both natural and
graded, having a grade greater than ten (10) percent shall
not comprise more than a combined total of fifty (50) per-
cent of any open space, except that no area of a graded
slope which extends to a height more than six (6) feet shall
be counted as open space unless it has a grade no greater
than fifty (50) percent and is landscaped.
E. SUBDIVISION MAP. All proceedings with regard to a sub-
division map submitted with an application for a Planned Development District
shall be combined with those for a Conditional Use Permit.
F. ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF A P-D DISTRICT. A Planned
Development District may be established upon application of the
property owner or owners or upon the initiative of the City Council
or Planning Commission, in accordance with the procedures set forth
in Section 9402.00. No Planned Development District shall be adopted
unless a Preliminary Development Plan has been approved. Any develop-
ment in a Planned Development District shall be subject to the require-
ments of this section and shall be in conformity with the requirements
of the development plan adopted for such Planned Development Districts.
I G. PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL. The applicant shall
submit a preliminary development plan to the Planning Commission for
an approval in principle. This approval shall be limited to the

a part of the Planned Development District.
Any Planned Development District, established by approval

ARTICLE 810
8100 SHORT TITLE. The short title of this Ordinance
shall be the "Sign, Ordinance" .
ARTICLE 811
8110 PURPOSE. The purpose of this Ordinance is to
alleviate a growth of sign usage which is detri-
mental to Palm Springs , Recognizing that Palm
Springs is one of the country s foremost desert
resorts , this Council finds that the improper
control of signs causes a particular problem here .
Although there is more to this City than its
resort resources , the attraction and servicing
of visitors constitute one of our leading economic
activities . Any failure to recognize this sig-
nificant fact would blind us to the realities of
our responsibilities as Councilmen, The visitor ' s
and investor" s impression of Palm Springs determines
the success or failure of our economic future . We
must make certain that what is seen is inviting
and appreciated by both visitors and investors .
-1-
Ordinance No. 776
Page 2
Having spent over six months in studying the many
ramifications of sign usage, we realize that there
are a myriad of public and private interests to be
weighed in the balance . We have done this . We have
carefully listened to everyone who wished to speak.
In now culminating our effort, we are of the opinion I
that economic and aesthetic factors are inseparable .
Each is but a part of the same problem. Any attempt
to separate them distorts the picture .
We recognize and strongly subscribe to the right of
businessmen to advertise their businesses . Still,
the right to advertise must be kept within reasonable
boundaries consistent with the objectives and goals
of the community to retain its special character and
the economic advantages which rest largely on the
quality of its appearance. We realize that reasonable
minds do differ as to how the sign problem can best
be solved. The responsibility for finding the solu-
tions , however, falls upon this body.
In analyzing the effect of sign use in Palm Springs ,
we find and conclude that, first, many existing signs
are visually incompatible with their surroundings,
landscaping and architecture. Although a stereotype
should be avoided, it is our opinion that a compatible
correlation can best be achieved by a required review
of signs as a condition precedent to the issuance of
permits . Such a program would be in keeping with
present Planning Commission procedure .
Second , we find and conclude that a clutter and dis-
array of signs have sprung up in Palm Springs . This
growth shows no recognizable pattern. It gives rise
to a weed patch appearance completely out of line
with our recognized and desired image. By far the
vast majority of offending signs have been bootlegged
in without permits . Many are illegal. Most are of
a cheap and temporary nature . Seldom are the more
offending signs products of recognized sign companies .
These offending signs are in the nature of nuisances
and should be abated as soon as possible .
Third, keeping in mind the right of an individual to
commercially advertise by a sign, we seek a better
balance between the right to so advertise and the
right of visitors and residents to be protected against
a visual and public trumpeting of prices and other such
overbearing commercialism. There is substantial evi-
dence to establish that the value of property is inex-
tricably interwoven with its surroundings . Degrading
signs can downgrade a community, depreciate economic
and social values and turn away investors and visitors ,
Signs are meant to catch the public eye, But the
public has a right to be insulated against abusive
and constant intrusions of blatant, commercial messages . I
Such invasions are out of step with the natural beauty
and dignity of our desert environment.
Based upon the foregoing, we conclude that the userof
signs should be limited to naming the business , the
nature of the use being conducted on the premises , or
the product, service or interest being offered for
sale or lease thereon.
-2-
Ordinance No. 776
Page 3
Although it may, at first, seem hard to conclude
that rate signs are more pernicious , either indi-
vidually or as a class , than other kinds of signs ,
we find they are for a number of valid reasons .
Therefore, rate signs must be separately classified
I and are hereby declared to be public nuisances per
se .
To begin with, rate signs are more difficult to
regulate because of the element of false advertising
which inevitably creeps in. They invite cut-throat
competition. Rate signs constitute hard-core com-
mercialism, which is all right in some places , It
is out of place, however, in a desert resort which
seeks to relieve its visitors from the steady pressure
of the daily grind . Palm Springs must be guarded
against the bargain-basement image, the impression
of a going-out-of-business-sale operation which
stems from the use of such signs .
Rate signs are less desirable for still other reasons .
They serve a different purpose . They do not locate
a business , thereby guiding customers to the premises .
They do not advertise the products or services avail-
able. They do not tie together the name , goods or
services and location in a way that can build good
will, high regard and a favorable reputation. They
do not advance the economic stability, but rather
they tend to undermine and reduce it.
I Therefore, in sum, we must conclude that signs which
are too large, too many, too out-of-keeping with
surroundings , or too commercial are detrimental to
the general welfare of the people of Palm Springs .
Furthermore, the public safety is jeopardized by
so-called signboard alleys and neon jungles because
they tend to over-attract the attention of motorists
from the road hazards . Also, a honkytonk community
attracts the more undesirable elements , thereby
creating greater police problems . Economic, com-
mercial and social downgrading, clutter, confusion
and crime give rise to other health and safety
problems , These pressures may not be immediately
apparent, but in evaluating a city' s future, they
each subtly contribute to definite deterioration
trends . For these reasons , the following regulations
are deemed by us to be imperative .
ARTICLE 812
8120 .00 The following definitions shall apply to this Chapter
unless another meaning is clearly apparent from the
contexts
8120.01 SIGN. A sign shall mean any thing or visual appear-
ance primarily used for, or having the effect of,
attracting attention from the streets , sidewalks
or other outside public areas for advertising pur-
poses including the prohibited listing of prices .
A sign shall not mean displays of merchandise or
products for sale on the premises , signs inside
buildings except when less than three feet behind
a window and facing public view, or ornamentation,
design, statuary, architecture, landscaping, pictures ,
-3-
Ordinance No. 776
Page 4
paintings or other such art forms unless , in the
case of any exceptions listed in this Section the
attraction, because of location, size, use or the
nature thereof, has the substantial effect of
attracting attention for advertising purposes when
viewed from an outside public area . The basic in- I
tent behind this definition is not to discourage
product displays , design or art forms epitomizing
simplicity, good taste and compatibility with the
community' s desired image .
8120 ,02 INDIRECTLY LIGHTED OR SHADOW LIGHTED SIGN, An
indirectly lighted or shadow lighted sign shall
mean any illuminated sign constructed so that the
immediate source of the illumination is not visible
when the sign is lighted and which does not exceed
ten (10) candle power per square foot measured at
ten (10) feet from the sign.
8120 �03 POLITICAL SIGNS , Political signs shall mean any
sign concerning candidates for political office or

29.13-9 FAILURE TO COLLECT AND REPORT TAX. DETERMINATION
OF TAX BY TAX ADMINISTRATOR. If any operator shall
fail or refuse to collect said tax and to make,
within the time provided in this Chapter, any
report and remittance of said tax or any portion
thereof required by this Chapter, the Tax Admini-
strator shall proceed in such manner as he may deem
best to obtain facts and information on which to
base his estimate of the tax due. As soon as the
Tax Administrator shall procure such facts and in-
formation as he is able to obtain upon which to base
the assessment of any tax imposed by this Chapter
payable by any operator who has failed or refused
to collect the same and to make such report and re-
mittance, he shall proceed to determine and assess
against such operator the tax, interest and penalties
provided for by this Chapter. In case such determina-
tion is made, the Tax Administrator shall give a

and penalties, if any, determined by the Tax Admini-
strator shall become final and conclusive and

made, the Tax Administrator shall give not less than I
five (5) days written notice in the manner prescribed
herein to the operator to show cause at a time and
place fixed in said notice why said amount specified
therein should not be fixed for such tax, interest
and penalties. At such hearing, the operator may
appear and offer evidence why such specified tax
interest and penalties should not be so fixed. After
such hearing the Tax Administrator shall determine
the proper tax to be remitted and shall thereafter
give written notice to the person in the manner pre-
scribed herein of the determination and the amount
of such tax, interest and penalties. The amount
determined to be due shall be payable after fifteen
(15) days unless an appeal is taken as provided in
Section 29. 13-10.

the Tax Administrator with respect to the amount of
any tax, interest and penalties, if any, may appeal
to the City Council by filing a notice of appeal
with the City Clerk within fifteen (15) days of the
serving of the assessment or determination of tax
and penalties, if any, due. The City Council shall

penalty has been overpaid or paid more than
once or has been erroneously or illegally
collected or received by the City under this

claim in writing therefor, stating under penalty
of perjury the specific grounds upon which the
claim is founded, is filed with the Tax Ad-
ministrator within three (3) years of the date
of payment . The claims shall be on forms
furnished by the Tax Administrator.
B. An operator may claim a refund or take as credit
against taxes collected and remitted the amount
overpaid, paid more than once or erroneously
or illegally collected or received when it is
established in a manner prescribed by the Tax
Administrator that the person from whom the
tax has been collected was not a transient ;
provided, however, that neither a. refund nor a
credit shall be allowed unless the amount of
the tax so collected has either been -refunded
to the transient or credited to rent subsequently
payable by the transient to the operator.
C. A transient may obtain a refund of taxes over-
paid or paid more than once erroneously or
illegally collected or received by the City by
filing a claim in the manner provided in sub-
paragraph A of this Section, but only when the
tax was paid by the transient directly to the
Tax Administrator, or when the transient having
-7-
Ord. No. 780
Page 8
paid the tax to the operator, establishes to
the satisfaction of the Tax Administrator that
the transient has been uncable to obtain a re-
fund from the operator who collected the tax. I
D. No refund shall be paid under the provisions
of this Section unless the claimant establishes
his right thereto by written records.
29.13-13 ACTIONS TO COLLECT. The remedies set forth in
this Section shall be applicable to pre-exsting
tax debts provided for in this Chapter.
A. Revocation of Permit. Whenever any operator
fails to comply with any provision of this
Chapter relating to occupancy tax or any rule
or regulation of the Tax Administrator relating
to occupancy tax prescribed and adopted under
this Chapter, the Tax Administrator upon hearing,
after giving the operator ten (10) days notice
in writing specifying the time and place of
hearing and requiring him to show cause why
his permit or permits should not be revoked,
may suspend or revoke any one or more of the
permits held by the operator. The Tax Adminis-
trator shall give to the operator written
notice of the suspension or revocation of any
of his permits. The notices herein required
may be served personally or by mail in the
manner prescribed for service of notice of a
deficiency determination. The Tax Administrator
shall not issue a new permit after the revoca-
tion of a permit unless he is satisfied that
the former holder of the permit will comply
with the provisions of this Chapter relating
to the occupancy tax and regulations of the Tax
Administrator. During the period of time while
such a permit is suspended, revoked or other-
wise not validly in effect, the Tax Administra-
tor may require that the operation be closed.
B. Recording Certificate: Lien. If any amount re-
quired to be paid to the City under this Chapter
is not paid when due, the Tax Administrator may,
within three years after the amount is due file
for record in the office of the Riverside County
Recorder a certificate specifying the amount of
tax, penalties and interest due, the name and
address as it appears on the records of the Tax
Administrator of the operator liable for the
same and the fact that the Tax Administrator
has complied with all provisions of this Chapter
in the determination of the amount required to
be paid. From the time of the filing for record,
the amount required to be paid together with
Ord. No. 780
Page 9
penalties and interest constitutes a lien
upon all real property in the County owned by
the operator or afterwards and before the lien
expires acquired by him. The lien has the
force, effect and priority of a judgment lien
I and shall continue for ten (10) years from the
time of filing of the certificate unless sooner
released or otherwise discharged.
C . Priority and Lien of Tax. The amounts required
to be paid by any operator under this Chapter
with penalties and interest shall be satisfied
first in any of the following cases .
(1) Whenever the person is insolvent ,
(2) Whenever the person makes a voluntary
assignment of his assets .
(3) Whenever the estate of the person :in, the
hands of executors, administrators , or
heirs is insufficient to pay all the debts
due from the deceased.
(4) Whenever the estate and effects of an ab -
sconding, concealed or absent person re-
quired to pay any amount under this Chapter
are levied upon by process law. This
Chapter does not give the City a preference
over any recorded lien which attached
prior to the date when the amounts required
to be paid became a lien.
The preference given to the City by this Section
shall be subordinate to the preferences given
to claims for personal services by Sections
1204 and 1206 of the Code of Civil Procedure .
D. Warrant for collection of tax. At any time
within three (3) years after any operator is de-
linquent in the payment of any amount herein
required to be paid or within three (3) years
after the last recording of a. certificate under
Section 29 . 13-13 A, the Ta.x. Administrator may
issue a warrant for the enforcement of any liens
and for the collection of any amount required
to be paid to the City under this Chapter. The
warrant shall be directed to any sheriff,
marshall or constable and shall have the same
effect as a writ of execution. The warrant
shall be levied and sale made pursuant to it
in the same manner and with the same effect
as a levy of and a sale pursuant to a writ of
I execution. The Tax Administrator may pay or
advance to the sheriff, marshall or constable,
-9-
Ord. No. 780
Page 10
the same fees, commissions and expenses for
his services as are provided by law for similar
services pursuant to a writ of execution. The
Tax Administrator, and not the court, shall
approve the fees for publication in a newspaper. I
E. Seizure and sale. At any time within three (3) I
years after any operator is delinquent in the L
payment of any amount, the Tax Administrator
may forwith collect the amount in the following
manner: The Tax Administrator shall seize
any property, real or personal, of the operator
and sell the property, or a sufficient part of
it, at public auction to pay the amount due
together with any penalties and interest imposed
for the delinquency and any costs incurredi on
account of the seizure and sale. Any seizure
made to collect occupancy taxes due shall be
only of property of the operator not exempt
from execution under the provisions of the Code
of Civil Procedure.
F. Successor's Liability - Withholding by Purchaser.
If any operator liable for any amount under
this Chapter sells out his business or quits the
business, his successor or assigns shall with-
hold sufficient of the purchase price to cover
such amount until the former owner produces a
receipt from the Tax Administrator showing that
it has been paid or a certificate stating that
no amount is due.
G. Liability of Purchaser: Release. If the pur-
chaser of a hotel fails to withhold purchase
price as required, he shall become personally
liable for the payment of the amount required
to be withheld by him to the extent of the
purchase price, valued in money. Within sixty
(60) days after receiving a written request from
the purchaser for a certificate, or within
sixty (60) days from the date the former owner's
records are made available for audit, whichever
period expires the later, but in any event not
later than ninety (90) days after receiving the
request, the Tax Administrator shall either
issue the certificate or mail notice to the
purchaser at his address as it appears on the
records of the Tax Administrator of the amount
that must be paid as a condition of issuing the
certificate. Failure of the Tax Administrator
to mail the notice will release the purchaser
from any further obligation to withhold purchase
price as above provided. The time within which
the obligation of the successor may be enforced
shall start to run at the time the operator sells
his business or at the time that the determination
Ord. No. 780
Page 11
against the operator becomes final, whichever
event occurs the later.
H. Responsibility for payment. Any tax required
to be paid by any transient under the provisions
I of this Chapter shall be deemed a debt owed
by the transient to the City. Any such tax
collected by an operator which has not been
paid to the City shall be deemed a debt owed by
the operator to the City. Any person owing
money to the City under the provisions of this
Chapter shall be liable to an action brought in
the name of the City of Palm Springs for the
recovery of such amount ,
29. 13-14 VIOLATIONS : MISDEMEANOR, Any person 'knowingly
violating any of the provisions of this Chapter
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be
punishable therefor by a fine of not more than
five hundred dollars ($500 .00) or by imprisonment

refuses to register as required herein, or to furnish
any return required to be made , or who fails or re-
fuses to furnish a supplemental -return or other data
required by the Tax Administrator, or who renders

cause , may extend for not to exceed one (1) month
the time for making any return or paying any amount
required to be paid under this Chapter, The ex-
tension may be granted at any time , provided a. re-
quest therefor is filed with the Tax, Administrator
within or prior to the period for which the extension
may he granted, Any person to whom an extension is
granted shall pay, in addition to the tax, interest
at the rate of one percent (170) per month or fraction
thereof, from the date on which the tax would have

ARTICLE 460
4610. SHORT TITLE. The short title of this Ordinance shall be the
"Parade Ordinance".
4611. PURPOSE. The City of Palm Springs has long taken pride in
its parades and public events of a similar nature. These
occasions give rise to a festive atmosphere , uplift the public
spirit and act as boosters for charitable drives and philan-
thropic programs. However, attendant with these public benefits
are problems of traffic and pedestrian control. Therefore, in
order to facilitate the movement of traffic, fire trucks , ambu-
lances and other emergency vehicles and to perserve the peace ,
health, safety and welfare of the people, it is necessary to
enact this Ordinance regulating parades.
4612. PARADES. As used in this Section, parades mean and include
any march, procession or assembly consisting of persons, animals
or vehicles, or a combination thereof, upon any public street ,
sidewalk, alley or other public right-of-way which does not
comply with normal and usual traffic regulation or controls.
4613. CONGESTED TRAFFIC AREA. As used in this Ordinance, congested
traffic areas shall include Palm Canyon Drive and Indian Avenue
since these streets at the present time are the main arterial
streets leading into and out of the City of Palm Springs and
present the gravest traffic congestion problems.

for a parade when the primary function thereof is to
publicize or advertise a person, business organization
or event unless such event serves a public purpose and
the overall good of the community. Permits shall not
be issued if the parade would require extra-ordinary
police service or endanger public safety. The criteria
to be considered in the denial of a permit on the grounds
of the endangering of public safety are the route of the
parade, the total period of elapsed time for the event ,
the proximity in time and area of other similar events,
the nature and purpose of the parade, the special traffic
problems such an event would engender, the ability of
the Police Department' to control the event , the number of
persons, animals or units involved and any health, moral
or safety hazards that might threaten the community as a
result of such activity.
In each permit the duration of the parade shall be limited
to a total of approximately two (2) hours, exclusive of
assembly time, commencing at or around 10:00 a.m. and
concluding at or around 12 :00 noon. In the months of June ,
July and August only, parades may be allowed from 8 :00 p.m. I
to 10:00 P.M. in the evening. The City Manager may make
minor changes in the duration and time periods of such
events where reasonable grounds therefor are presented. -
The permit shall include the maximum speed of the vehicles ,
animals or units ; the maximum interval of space to be
maintained between the units of such parade ; the maximum
total length of the parade in miles or fractions thereof;
the assembly and disassembly points and plans for these
processes. Such plan may be included on a sketch or map
attached to the permit.

to conduct or manage a parade within a congested traffic
area as defined hereinabove shall make application therefor
with the City Business License Division not less than thirty
(30) days nor more than one hundred eighty (180) days before

therefor with the City Business License Division not less
than twenty-one (21) days or more than one hundred eighty
(180) days before the date on which it is proposed to

from the Chief of Police and Director of Public Works , act
thereon as soon as reasonably possible.
I4617. ISSUANCE OF PERMIT
4617. 1 Outside of congested traffic areas. If the City Manager
finds that the parade is to be conducted wholly outside of
the congested traffic area, he may issue the permit unless
there is reason for the prohibition of the parade on grounds
set forth herein.
4617.2 Within congested traffic areas. The City Manager shall
issue the permit upon the following findings :
A) The parade will not unduly interrupt the safety and
orderly movement of other traffic along and across
its route for an unreasonable period of time;
(B) The conduct of such parade will not require the
diversion of so great a number of police officers of
the City as would be needed to police the line of
movement in the area contiguous thereto and as would
be needed to prevent normal police protection to the
