The purpose of this chapter is to establish minimum rules and regulations for controlling and enforcing right-of-way uses to assure that proposed uses are consistent with public health, safety, and welfare of the community, and that any harm or nuisance which may result from a proposed use is prevented.

It shall be unlawful for anyone to make private use of any public right-of-way without a right-of-way use permit issued by the city, or to use any public right-of-way without complying with all provisions of a permit issued by the city, unless such private use falls within the designated exceptions set forth in this chapter.
