It is declared by the board of supervisors that the business of salvaging and wrecking
automobiles, the storage and salvaging of scrap materials, the salvaging, storing,
and selling of salvaged building materials and other waste matter and junk is affected
by the public interest. These businesses are useful and necessary occupations and
essential to the economic life and welfare of the county. At the same time these businesses
have a tendency to and often do become nuisances. Rats, vermin, insects, and other
pests find breeding places in premises where these occupations are carried on. Small
children without sufficient age to have sound discretion find places to play in these
premises to their own danger and to the danger of the community. Materials stored
on these premises may be fire hazards from spontaneous or accidental combustion. These
materials, where improperly laid up and stored, become habitats and hiding places
for vagrants and other undesirable persons. They are unsightly, offensive to the senses
and interfere with the comfortable and enjoyable use of land in the vicinity. The
public interest and the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare, the
conservation of property value, and the encouragement of the orderly development of
the county require that these occupations be regulated.
