2.64.010 Purpose and intent of provisions.

A. The city council has in CVMC 2.66.010 set forth its intent to provide full and equal rights to the use and enjoyment of public facilities by all members of the community without regard to the status or condition of the users of said facilities. In carrying out said intent, it is necessary to recognize the nature and purpose of the particular recreational facility being regulated to achieve that need.

B. The Chula Vista municipal golf course was acquired for the purpose of providing a facility for playing the game of golf and the facility is financially supported by those endeavoring to play golf. It has been noted recently that many persons other than golfers, primarily juveniles, have been making an unauthorized use of the facility for activities other than golf and that said persons have been trespassing on the municipal golf course in a manner so as to interfere with the golfing activities, and to cause destruction of the fairways and green, and the creation of a hazard to themselves and to the golfers.

C. It is the purpose of the city council in adopting this chapter to prohibit such unauthorized use of the golf course and to restrict the activities at the municipal golf course to golfing and such other uses as may be authorized by the director of parks and recreation. (Ord. 1353 § 1, 1971; Ord. 1179 § 1 Art. 3, 1969; prior code § 21.3.3(a)).

2.64.020 Regulations and restrictions designated – Posting required.

No person shall make use of any municipal golf course without first having obtained a ticket authorizing such use from the city or its designated representative and paying the required fee(s). Any person being present on any portion of the municipal golf course without first having obtained such a ticket or being engaged in an activity and within an area not authorized and approved by the director of parks and recreation shall be deemed guilty of trespassing, which is hereby declared to be a misdemeanor punishable as provided in CVMC 1.20.010. In addition, all persons using the municipal golf course pursuant to such authorization shall be bound by the rules and regulations in CVMC 2.66.020 through 2.66.290, and said persons within the limits of any municipal golf course shall not do any act or acts contrary to the rules established by the parks and recreation department for the use of such golf course, and failure to comply with said rules as approved by resolution of the city council, other than the rules adopted by this title, will be good reason and cause for any such person being required immediately to leave the premises; provided, however, that such rules shall be conspicuously posted in the club house of such golf course. Further, the failure to leave the premises upon request for a violation of said rules will constitute a misdemeanor as provided herein. (Ord. 2506 § 1, 1992; Ord. 1353 § 1, 1971; Ord. 1179 § 1 Art. 3, 1969; prior code § 21.3.3(b)).
