Our Planning Commission and Historical Resources Management Commission are working through the legal and policy issues for adopting a demolition ordinance. One of the hardest issues they're facing is dealing with the concept of demilition by neglect. The Commissioners are concerned that a demolition ordinance exempting properties that are unsafe or irrepairable would encourage property owners to let their buildings deteriorate. Has anyone found a way to address this?
