MCISAAC, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR SUBJECT: VACANT OR ABANDONED COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS DOWNTOW During the previous meeting of the Legislative and Litigation Commit provided the Committee with a presentation regarding the City's current i Codes related to property maintenance of Commercial Buildings. Towarc of the meeting Mr. Tandy brought up the possibility of an economic incer downtown in which the Economic Development section of the Planning working on as a separate item. This idea seemed to be of interest to Committee members. A few days after the meeting, staff inet with Counci Maxwell, to discuss an approach more related to aiding development ii more stringent property maintenance ordinances and enforcement action Pro-active Approach: When a distressed vacant building in the downtown area has been identi will research the owner of the brobertv and/or aaent resbonsible. Staff v� Legislative and Litigatic Vacant or Abandoned Commercial Buildir 1. Is there a tenant that is in the process of occupying the building? 2. Is the property currently being marketed for a tenant? a. If so, what kind? b. Any potential tenants in due diligence? c. What kind of response is being received? 3. Is the building currently for sale? a. Is there a realtor that is listing the property? b. Are there current offers? 4. Is there a legal reason that the building is not currently being occ� a. Property in probate? b. Ownership dispute? 5. Why isn't the building being occupied? a. Needs Building Improvements? Part of the meeting would also be to educate the responsible party of the maintenance standards of the City of Bakersfield and how a distressed impacts the surrounding businesses and properties. This would be aic revised handout specifically for this situation. Staff would then review and the information provided. This will in turn provide us a better understandi various reasons why a particular building or group of buildings may be va what it might take to promote occupancy. Property Maintenance Revisions During the previous meeting it was found to be desirable to have the bc boarded up structure painted to match the building so it didn't stand out from the surrounding buildings. Staff reviewed this issue and believes this incorporated as a policy as directed by this committee. The existing i code reads as follows: 8.27.010 Maintenance of property—Violation of specified standards. It is unlawful and is declared a public nuisance for any persor leasing, occupying or having charge or possession of any property i to maintain such property in such manner that any of the following c exist thereon, except as may be allowed by Title 17 of this code... Legislative and Litigatic Vacant or Abandoned Commercial Buildir This is consistent with current Code Enforcement practices in which we I under contract. This policy would also allow for a broken window to be te boarded without painting. Further, the building code requires all exposed be weather protected, which is generally accomplished with paint. Staff has not found a municipal code from other jurisdictions that requires c be secured (retractable security gate) during non-business hours. Staff d some concerns with this requirement depending on the occupancy and E of the building and potential for entrapping a person into this area. Thi may also be better served utilizing education of business owners of thi enclosure as a potential solution to their property maintenance issue. � several examples on Chester that we could point out to business owners. other locations in the City that alcoves are utilized that do not have maintenance issues. An ordinance requiring the enclosure for all woulc undo cost to some businesses. Again, we should as part of both outrE enforcement activity educate those property owners that have recurring maintenance calls for service related to alcoves of this potential solu� deterrent. Summary Staff believes that we can impact this issue without enacting a new vacan monitoring program or new extensive municipal codes by taking a more K pro-business approach. This also coincides with our economic incen program that is in its infancy, and this outreach may provide additional ir what kind of help that a program needs to provide to property owners to businesses into the vacant buildings. We will immediately begin enfo painting of the plywood for the long term vacant buildings.
