FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 Fresno County Supervisors Garry Bredefeld and Brian Pacheco, alongside Sheriff John Zanoni, have announced a proposed ordinance aimed at limiting the number of registered sex offenders in single-family homes in unincorporated areas. <\/p>\n
They are holding a news conference on Monday morning at 10 a.m. to announce the proposal at the Hall of Records in downtown Fresno.<\/p>\n
The move comes after residents voiced concerns about safety and quality of life. <\/p>\n
“This ordinance is long overdue,” Bredefeld said. “No neighborhood should be made to feel afraid by an oversaturation of sex offenders living steps away from families, schools, and churches.” <\/p>\n
The ordinance will enforce California’s limit of six sex offenders per single-family dwelling. <\/p>\n
Violators could face misdemeanor charges, up to six months in jail, and fines ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. <\/p>\n
Business licenses may also be revoked for violations. <\/p>\n
