The Zoning and Code
Enforcement Division is responsible for the enforcement of the Zoning
Ordinance and of those parts of the City Code that relate to property,
including the blight ordinance and the noxious weed ordinance. The
Building Division and the Zoning Division work cooperatively to remove
dangerous buildings and to upgrade the neighborhoods and housing stock
in the City by responding to resident’s complaints. The Zoning Division
conducts inspections and contacts residents and business owners in an
effort to obtain compliance. If necessary, the Zoning Division brings
the violators to court for a hearing before a magistrate or a judge.
Zoning is also responsible for plan review of temporary signs, and
accessory structures under 200 square feet. The division also provides
staff support for the Zoning Board of Appeals.
