CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
COMMUNITY PLANNING & BUILDING DEPARTMENT
INTEROFFICE MEMO

TO: Doug Schmitz, City Administrator

FROM: Rob Mullane, AICP, Director of Community Planning and Building

DATE: November 4, 2014

REF: Code Compliance Summary Report

During this monthly reporting period (through 10/16/14), City Code Compliance staff
fielded a total of 24 code compliance requests. A total of 27 active cases were closed
over this same time period. For this calendar year, 352 code compliance requests have
been received, and 268 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 8% 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 unpermitted signage, unpermitted construction or
landscaping, operation of gas blowers, 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 Citys 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.
