19 - Presentation - Priority Policy on City-Wide DemolitionsItem No. 19
TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem and City Council
Grayson Path, City Manager
FROM: Andrew Mack, AICP Director Planning & Community Development
Robert Talley, Code Enforcement Supervisor
SUBJECT: Receive Presentation Regarding Priority Policy Regarding Building & Standards
Commission (BSC) City Wide Demolition Orders for Structures
DATE: March 27, 2023
BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION
Council will recall a discussion held at its 10/24/22 meeting regarding prioritization of structure
demolitions that have been placed upon the list of BSC orders. Since that time there has been a
two -fold approach addressing the list and how to better organize the work effort both in terms of
mapping and prioritizing the list; along with a concerted effort to expand the capacity in house to
increase our annual numbers for demolitions with new equipment to do the work.
Currently the list includes approximately 103 residences. Since late October work has continued
with demolitions both in house and by our contractor. A total of 9 houses have been demolished
since that time. Results have been limited though due to wet conditions here over the past 6
months. The rain makes it difficult to work on these sites and our equipment has limited
capabilities to dump at the landfill without constantly getting stuck. Staff anticipates these
numbers to increase soon as we move beyond the wet conditions this spring.
Attached please see the current list of condemned properties City wide in a descending order of
priority. There is now also a corresponding list showing the locations by priority. Both Council
member Moore and Mayor Pro -Tem Hughes rode along with us to assist in reviewing over half
of the properties in the City and in developing the rank prioritizing strategies. This will be better
explained in a presentation planned for the meeting. The administrative policy for properties with
BSC orders for demolition gives a high priority status for structures that have: 1. Burned or
destroyed by fire. 2. Structures along major traveled roadways. 3. In a block with approved 5 In
5 Agreements. 4. Is dangerous structurally for collapse on adjoining properties.
RECOMMENDATION
No action by City Council is required.
