§ 2254. Aesthetic considerations

At the hearing regarding location of the junkyard, the legislative body may also take into account the clean, wholesome and attractive environment which has been declared to be of vital importance to the continued stability and development of the tourist and recreational industry of the state and the general welfare of its citizens by considering whether or not the proposed location can be reasonably protected from having an unfavorable effect thereon. In this connection the legislative body may consider collectively the type of road servicing the junkyard or from which the junkyard may be seen, the natural or artificial barriers protecting the junkyard from view, the proximity of the proposed junkyard to established tourist and recreational areas or main access routes, thereto, as well as the reasonable availability of other suitable sites for the junkyard. (Added 1969, No. 98, § 1.)
