RE: Proposed First Reading dinance-December 18, 2003 City Commission Meeting
Amendment to the C. Code to provide for consistency with Florida Statutes
related to the number of violations required for a property to be declared a
public nuisance
Existing City Code Section 46-1 requires that seven complaints of unlawful activity
within a six month period must occur before enforcement action for a public nuisance may
commence. Recently, the Florida Statutes have been amended to require two complaints of
unlawful activity within the same period of time and the definition of a public nuisance has
beenexpanded, thus the City Code is no longer consistent with the provisions of the State. The
attached proposed ordinance has been drafted to amend City Code Section 46-1 to be consistent
with the Florida Statutes related to the definition of a public nuisance and the number of
violations required for a property to be declared a public nuisance.
This Ordinance has been submitted to the Agenda Coordinator for placement on the
December 18, 2003 City Commission Agenda.
