Case #5: Consider Introduction of Ordinance to Amend Public Nuisance Section of City Code City Attorney Goodrich advised in July of this year Section 5.08 of the City Code titled Public Nuisance was amended. That amendment contained incorrect references to certain parts of the City's Zoning districts and therefore needs to be amended by Ordinance. Councihnember Zimmerman questioned if this will include all of the zones in the City, and if Town Center will be included. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained Town Center will have a combination of commercial and residential zoning. City Attorney Goodrich indicated the ordinance will be reviewed to be certain that it is all- inclusive of the City zoning. City Council/September 28, 2004 Page 9 of 17
