SLOPD extends enhancement zones as a deterrent for the annual St. Fratty’s block party
Twenty years ago between California and Foothill Blvd. pepper bullets were fired and tear gas was dispersed into the crowd. What started as a civil celebration turned into a day filled with more than 180 arrests.
After this, the 9.22 ordinance was introduced.
The 9.22 ordinance enforces designated sections of the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code and subjects those who violate these codes to double the fines.
This has continued since 2004, but recently residents of San Luis Obispo “have been experiencing some greater impacts from noise of large gathering type calls associated with traditional holiday times such as St. Patrick’s Day and Halloween,” Chief Scott said during the city council meeting on Jan. 9.
To combat this SLOPD has added some changes for this upcoming “St. Fratty’s Day” and Halloween Safety Enhancement Zones.
