Code Compliance Summary Report

During this monthly reporting period (through 9/24114), City Code Compliance staff fielded a total of 26 code compliance requests. A total of 25 active cases were closed over this same time period. For this calendar year, 318 code compliance requests have been received, and 241 of these cases have been closed.

For the requests logged this month, the average initial investigation turn-around time was 2 business days or less.

TRENDS:

The number of code compliance requests was 39% lower than the previous month. The number of requests fluctuates from month to month. The most common types of requests continue to involve reports of excessively-bright lighting, unpermitted signage including A-frame signs, unpermitted construction or landscaping, and Right-of-Way (ROW) encroachments.

NOTES:

Proactive compliance programs are planned for the next several months and include: 1) working with businesses and real estate professionals on the City's signage requirements, and 2) communicating City-specific regulations to landscape professionals regarding ROW improvements, and permit requirements for revisions to landscaping as well as for new or revised walls and fences.
