SUMMARY:
The purpose of this amendment to Section 14-1-136 (Demolition) is to provide greater notice requirements when a demolition is to take place. The proposed ordinance calls for certification by the applicant for a demolition permit stating that reasonable efforts have been made to provide notice to those within a 300-foot radius of a demolition site. Further it will require the placing of a sign on the property where demolition is to take place showing a NOTICE OF DEMOLITION. Finally, it states that demolition work shall be conducted in compliance with the noise regulations for construction as well as applicable nuisance ordinances contained within the City Code, including dust control and/or mediation.
This amendment was a collaborative effort between a Council Member, City staff (Inspections) and the City’s legal team.
