Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Consider a request to perform an abatement for unresolved violations of City Code at 795 Cope Avenue W 1 2 Background 3 The subject property is an occupied, single family home. Current violations related to the abatement 4 request include: 5 Inoperable vehicle (407.02.G) 6 Vehicle stored on unimproved surface (407.04.D) 7 Vehicle without current registration (407.02.G, 407.04.D) 8 This property has been notified of City Code violations on 01/30/25, 02/10/25, and 04/18/25 (Attachment 9 3). Site visits and inspections were conducted prior to each notice being mailed or delivered 10(Attachment 1). Staff received communication from the property owner by phone on February 18, March 11 24 and March 28, 2025 requesting an extension to the end of June 2025, stating that she understood the 12 violations and had plans for the correction. Staff has been unwilling to extend the compliance deadline 13 to the end of June given our typical compliance timeframe for these violations is ten days and the owner 14 has already been given nearly 90 days. To-date compliance has not been observed. A final notice was 15 posted on the property detailing the violations and notification of the Council hearing date of May 5, 2025 16(Attachment 3). 17 18 As of the writing of this RCA, no progress related to any noted violations has been observed on this 19 property. The property owner did contact the Community Development Director on April 28th, indicating 20 she felt she had not been given adequate notice and was unaware of the City Council date where the 21 abatement action would be considered. The Community Development Director informed the property 22 owner she had already been given a compliance timeframe well beyond what is customary, that the City 23 Council meeting date would be May 5, 2025, and the City Council could consider additional time for 24 compliance at the hearing. A status update will be provided during the hearing. 25 26 Policy Objectives 27 The abatement of public nuisances is necessary to protect the public's comfort, repose, health and 28 safety. 29 30 Equity Impact Summary 31 Equity impacts related to this request have not been evaluated. 32 33 Budget Implications 34 The estimated costs of the proposed abatement include the following: 35 36 Removal of unlicensed, inoperable vehicle stored outdoors: $0.00 37 Abatement fee per Council approved Fee Schedule: $350.00 Page 1 of 2 Qbhf!3:!pg!248
