§ 8.05.010. Purpose.

Latest version.

The city has found that vacant buildings encourage temporary occupancy by transients, drug users and persons engaged in criminal activity; cause surrounding areas to suffer from stagnant or declining property values; and create significant costs to the city by virtue of the need for constant monitoring and occasional cleanup. Accordingly, the purpose of this chapter requiring the registration of all vacant buildings, both residential and commercial, is to assist the city government in protecting the public health, safety and welfare of its residents by encouraging the prompt rehabilitation and permanent occupancy of such abandoned structures.
