Council requested further information regarding goals "A" and "B" Those goals, which were presented 'to the Orange County Housing Authority.and are included in the City's Housing Element are as follows: To identify and take action to remove the rentkl housing units determined to be substandard, in need of replacement, and a hazard to the health and safety of the occupants. B. To identify and encourage the removal of the owner-occupied dwelling units that are determined to' be substahdard, in need of replacement, and a hazard to the health and safety of the occupants. Both goals are directed toward the improvement of 'substandard housing, either tenant or owner occupied units that are in need of major repair and are considered a hazard to the community. The goals specifically require that staff first identify then implement a .plan to correct these problems. The Community Development Department is presently in the process of hiring a second building inspector who will be' partially responsible for zoning enforcement including nuisance abatement of substandard building structures. It is staff's intent that in response to citizen complaints the building inspector will investigate both commercial and residential structures, inform property owners of necessary repairs and follow through with legal action if violations are not corrected. Should Council desire further information or a stricter'policy of enforcement, a more detailed program can be presented. Recommendation L Receive and file.
