SUMMARY 

A Proposed Ordinance to amend Chapter 1289 Planned Unit Residential Developments to provide consistency with the recently adopted Chapter 1450, International Property Maintenance Code (PMC).


BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS
There are none.

HISTORY, BACKGROUND and  DISCUSSION

On May 17, 2016 the City Commission adopted the International Property Maintenance Code (PMC) as Chapter 1450 to the City of Battle Creek ordinances. With this adoption, several other ordinance chapters were repealed, including: Chapter 636 - Junk Vehicles; 692 - Weeds and Noxious Vegetation; and 1460 - Minimum Standards.

 

As Code Compliance began implementing the changes related to the adoption of the PMC, it was discovered the following revision is necessary to provide consistency with Chapter 1450, PMC:

 

Chapter 1289 Planned Unit Residential Developments

A cross reference was revised to the current ordinance and the repealed section deleted. 

 

In the definitions section, 1289.02(f) a reference to the former weeds and noxious vegetation ordinance is deleted and replaced with the proper reference to the International Property Maintenance Code.

 

 


DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUE

POSITIONS

The Code Compliance division of the Community Services department and the City Attorney's office support this amendment to provide consistency and clarity to residents and business owners, and for enforcement purposes.
