City Council voted to draft rules prohibiting people from sleeping specific distances from some public areas
The measure requires second vote in late July, and orders people who resist leaving the encampments to be fined rather than arrested
It also rules that cops would only get involved if there has been a crime committed
The motion is seen as a more humanitarian alternative to banning all homeless camping in the city
