COMMITTEE REVIEW: The City Council asked the Land Use and Environment Committee to
get an update on code enforcement efforts in the South Capitol
Neighborhood.
BACKGROUND: During the 2006 Legislative Session several complaints in the South
Capitol Neighborhood were filed with the Community Planning and
Development and enforcement actions were taken. That summer staff
invited stakeholders to meet to discuss concerns raised by residents of
the South Capitol Neighborhood about home occupations. Among
others, the primary problems identified include residences being used
as offices, houses being used for large public/private gatherings, and
commercial off-street parking tied to the legislative session. The
Planning Commission received a briefing, conducted a public hearing
and forwarded recommendations to the Council in October 2006.
During the 2007 Legislative Session there were few complaints filed and
the City Council held a roundtable discussion with key stakeholders and
held an open house to receive additional public input and discussion on
the issue. Further review by the City Council was deferred.
