   MEMORANDUM

Michael Lavery appeals the district court’s orders granting summary judgment to the City of Laguna Beach and other individuals who work for the City and the City’s Police Department. We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.

We affirm the district court’s summary judgment in favor of the City on Lavery’s First Amendment challenges. The laws at issue are content neutral. Content neutrality is judged by whether the law “distinguishes] favored speech from disfavored speech on the basis of the ideas or views expressed.... ” Foti v. City of Menlo Park, 146 F.3d 629, 636 (9th Cir.1998) (quoting Tuner Broad. Sys. v. F.C.C., 512 U.S. 622, 643, 114 S.Ct. 2445, 129 L.Ed.2d 497 (1994)). Here, the ordinances do not discriminate on the basis of the views expressed. See One World One Family Now v. City of Honolulu, 76 F.3d 1009,1012 n. 5 (9th Cir.1996).

As content neutral laws, the ordinances pass constitutional muster because they are narrowly tailored both facially and as applied. The City has a substantial interest in preventing commerce in Heisler Park, maintaining its aesthetic beauty, and structuring the orderly movement of pedestrians through the park. Without the prohibition on art shows and exhibitions, Heisler Park, because of its status as a popular destination, could become bogged down-both by crowds and aesthetieally-by artists selling their work in the park. See id. at 1013-14.

Nor do the ordinances grant unbridled discretion to government officials enforcing the law. Unlike the permit schemes in Gaudiya Vaishnava Society v. City of San Francisco, 952 F.2d 1059 (9th Cir.1991) and City of Lakewood v. Plain Dealer Publishing Co., 486 U.S. 750, 108 S.Ct. 2138, 100 L.Ed.2d 771 (1988)-which provided officials the power to grant permits but did not articulate why, how, or when-the ordinances in this case do not give the city manager the “power to discriminate [which] raises the spectre of selective enforcement on the basis of the content of speech.” N.A.A.C.P., Western Region v. City of Richmond, 743 F.2d 1346, 1357 (9th Cir.1984). Finally, we also agree with the district court that there are ample alternatives available for expression.

We also affirm the district court’s judgment that the ordinances are not vague. We do find, however, that the ordinances are overbroad as applied to Lavery. By prohibiting the conduct of placing one piece, of art against a tree because it is an art show or exhibition, the ordinances burden substantially more speech than is necessary to achieve their articulated goal.

We affirm the district court’s judgment on Lavery’s retaliation claim because Lavery fails to present enough evidence to create a genuine issue of material fact that retaliatory intent was a motivating factor that caused his receipt of a citation.

Because we find that the ordinances are overbroad as applied to Lavery, we reverse the district court’s grant of summary judgment to the City on the issue of municipal liability. But we affirm the district court’s judgment on qualified immunity because Lavery cannot show that the police officers or other City officials acted unreasonably. We also affirm the district court’s judgment on Lavery’s equal protection claims for the reasons stated by the district court.

Each party to bear its own costs.

AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART.
