Wake Forest has an ordinance banning CC. It reads like this:
My question to y'all is one of interpretation. Given a straightforward reading of the ordinance, does the phrase "and parks" stand alone or is it part of the "appurtenant premises" clause? In other words, do the parks where CC is banned have to be in proximity to the government buildings, or is this ordinance banning CC in all of Wake Forest parks?
I'd love to hear some opinions on this. Another example of the unclear verbiage that NC law is well known for.
