STAFF REPORT
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 7 OF THE NATIONAL CITY
MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING CHAPTER 7.06 RELATING TO
ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES.
BACKGROUND:
In 1995 the City Council adopted Chapter 7.06 of the National City Municipal Code to
regulate abandoned buildings. Vacant buildings tend to attract vagrants, transients, drug
and other criminal activity, and have a documented history of fires. In addition, they are
often not maintained, accumulate trash, junk and debris resulting in infestations of rats
and other vermin. City staff identifies the abandoned buildings, notifies the owners and
has the buildings boarded. Staff then monitors the buildings to make sure that they
remain boarded.
In spite of the City's efforts, abandoned buildings continue to be a blight to the city.
Boarding the buildings addresses the problem of transients, however the owner will board
the building and a short time later the boards are taken off and the transients return. The
City then notifies the owner again and the cycle continues. Many of these buildings are
also unsightly. The exterior of the building and the yards are not regularly maintained.
To address the continuing problems associated with these buildings the Development
Services Group consisting of staff from the Fire, Police, Planning, Engineering, and
Building Departments and the City Attorney and Community Development Commission
met to discuss the problem of abandoned buildings in National City. This group felt that
revisions in the current law are necessary to address the problems. Many of the changes
are editorial in nature. Other changes address the additional problems associated with the
appearance of the property and give the City the ability to purchase the property if the
owners desire.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Section 7.06.010 D
This section states that loose paint is a health and safety hazard. This change came as a
result of the awareness of the dangers of lead based paint for the children. Due to the age
of many of the houses in National City the presence of lead based paint is a possibility.
Maintaining the exterior paint of the building will prevent children from ingesting lead
paint, which has peeled or chipped off and fallen to the ground. Not only will
maintaining the exterior paint prevent possible injury to children, it will enhance the
appearance of the building.
Section 7.06.030
The actual specifications for boarding the structure are now incorporated into this section.
The specifications state the type of attachment and the thickness of the boards. In
addition, it states that the boards must be painted the predominate color of the structure.
For commercial structures opaque window coverings may now be used in lieu of boards
and long as the windows are not broken. Also added in this section is the requirement for
the property owner to maintain the property free of weeds, litter and rubbish.
Section 7.06.090
The previous ordinance established a vacant building monitoring fee, however, an
amount was not determined. This section now sets the fee at $100 a year. This will
allow the Building and Safety Department to recover the cost of inspecting the building
four times per year. These inspections are necessary to prevent the removal of the boards
and to notice the owner if the exterior and yard are not maintained.
Section 7.06.120
This section establishes a revolving fund account, which the City may use to purchase
abandoned buildings, which the owner wishes to sell. Currently the owner has three
options once he is notified. He can 1) fix the building and board or occupy it, 2) pay the
fines and/or go to jail or 3) if the owner cannot afford to fix the property, he has the
option to apply for a rehabilitation loan with the CDC. This section of the ordinance will
give the owner a fourth option after they have failed to comply with any of the above
options. If the owner wishes to sell the property to the City the property will be appraised
and the City will purchase the property.
In order for the City to purchase properties a fund is proposed. The Spot Blight Removal
Fund would be initially funded with matching City and CDC funds. The City funds
would come from the sale of surplus land at Clairmont Ave. near Melrose St. The CDC
funds will come from the sale of land at 16th St and Euclid Ave. and the low -mod housing
fund. After the initial funding, additional funds would be generated from the sale of the
abandoned property after the building is demolished. Matching funds would be
appropriate since the abandoned buildings occur both inside and outside the
Redevelopment Area.
The ordinance was reviewed by the Advisory and Appeals Board and the CDC Housing
Committee and approved.
ORDINANCE NO. 2000-
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 7 OF THE
NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING
CHAPTER 7.06 RELATING TO ABANDONED
BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES
BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of National City that Title 7
of the Municipal Code is amended as follows:
Section 1. That the Chapter 7.06 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Chapter 7.06
ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES`
Sections:
7.06.010 Purpose and intent —Findings
7.06.020 Definitions.
7.06.030 Abandoned buildings —Barricading.
7.06.040 Abandoned buildings —Nuisance —Abatement.
7.06.050 Demolition and restoration required.
7.06.060 Evacuating and barricading damaged buildings.
7.06.070 Abandoned furniture and other materials.
7.06.080 Maintenance and rehabilitation of boarded or vacant buildings.
7.06.090 Vacant building monitoring fee.
7.06.100 Administrative penalty.
7.06.110 Nuisance —Criminal penalty.
7.06.120 Demolition and blight removal account
7.06.010 Purpose and intent —Findings. It is the purpose and intent of the City
Council to establish procedures to minimize or eliminate blight and adverse threats to the public
health, safety and welfare caused by improper maintenance of abandoned or vacant structures,
and to establish penalties and enforcement mechanisms to bring such properties into compliance.
The City Council finds and determines that:
A. Vacant buildings which have become unsecured or dilapidated, or which are
partially destroyed for an unreasonable period of time, attract undesirable individuals including
vagrants and criminals who use the buildings for illicit drug activity and other unlawful
purposes.

2000 Ordinance Abandoned Facilities
(Smooth of 2nd strikeout) Chapter 7.06
B. The existence of vacant buildings which have become unsecured or dilapidated,
or which are partially destroyed for an unreasonable period of time, or which have been damaged
by fire or decay or otherwise, and which cannot be repaired so as to conform to the requirements
of Title 15 of this code, creates blight, which often spreads to surrounding areas.
C. The existence of vacant buildings which have become unsecured or dilapidated,
or which are partially destroyed for an unreasonable period of time, or which have been damaged
by fire or decay or otherwise and cannot be repaired so as to conform to the requirements of Title
15 of this code, constitutes a threat to the public health, safety and welfare, because such
conditions invite vandalism, arson, drug dealing, other crime problems and fire hazards, and
create unsightliness and blight that depreciates property values.
D. The existence of vacant buildings which become unsightly because of
deteriorated, weathered, chipped, cracked, or peeled paint creates an economic disincentive to
the value of surrounding property. Paint that is loose or falling to the ground causes a potential
health and safety violation due to possible lead -based paint that could be ingested by children,
causing sickness, mental retardation, and possibly death.
E. Unless corrective measures are undertaken to cure and prevent such public
nuisances, such serious threats to the public health, safety and welfare will continue to exist.
Therefore, the need to correct such conditions is sufficiently great so as to outweigh the potential
benefits of inaction, if any, to the owners of such vacant buildings.
7.06.020 Definitions. For the purposes of this chapter, "abandoned building" means
a building that is vacant, and which:
A. Has become unsecured or dilapidated; or
B. Is partially destroyed and remains so for a period in excess of six months; or
C. Has been damaged by fire, decay or otherwise, and cannot be repaired so as to
conform to the requirements of Title 15 of this code; or
D. Because of its physical condition invites vandalism, arson, drug dealing, and other
crime problems; or
E. Because of its physical condition constitutes a refuge for vagrants; or
F. Because of its physical condition constitutes a fire hazard; or
G. Because of its physical condition creates blight and depreciates surrounding
property value; or
H. Has been determined by the director of building and safety to constitute a
"dangerous building" as defined in the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous
Buildings, as adopted pursuant to Title 15 of this code; or
I. On at least three occasions within a twenty -four -month period, has been
barricaded and thereafter became unsecured so that persons could enter it.
7.06.030 Abandoned buildings —Maintenance and barricading. A. Any abandoned
building shall be substantially barricaded by its owner in a manner specified by the director of
building and safety to prevent unauthorized entry.
B. All gas and electric utility services shall be disconnected within five days of
vacation of a building. Reconnections will require approval by the department of building and
safety.
C. Unauthorized entry into or occupancy of an abandoned building is prohibited.
D. Specifications and orders by the director of building and safety for barricading a
building may include any of the following:
2000 Ordinance 2 Abandoned Facilities
(Smooth of 2nd strikeout) Chapter 7.06
1. Boarding of doorways, crawl spaces, windows and openings are to be
accomplished by use of one-half inch (1/2") or thicker exterior grade plywood, fastened by lag
screws or one-way bolts to the frame or a cross brace, or both;
2. All barricades shall be painted to match the dominant exterior color of the
elevation of the building on which the barricade is placed. The dominant exterior color shall be
that color that occupies at least 60% of the particular elevation;
3. In the case of commercial buildings located on main or secondary
thoroughfares, opaque window coverings may be allowed by the director in lieu of a barricade,
provided all the windows are maintained, and, if broken or cracked, replaced within 72 hours.
The director may require broken or cracked windows to be replaced in lieu of barricading.
E. Abandoned buildings shall be maintained free of weeds, litter and rubbish at all
times. Violations shall be abated and cost recovery allowed as provided in this chapter and
related chapters for abatement of public nuisances.
7.06.040 Abandoned buildings —Nuisance —Abatement. Any building determined
by the director of building and safety to be an "abandoned building" under the provisions of this
chapter, is a public nuisance and shall be abated in accordance with the procedures for abatement
of public nuisances and recovery of costs therefor set forth in Chapter 1.36 of this code. The
Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings may be used where the building
qualifies as a "dangerous building" under that code.
7.06.050 Demolition and restoration required. All work requiring a demolition
permit pursuant to Title 15 of this code shall include the required removal of all foundations and
basements and restoring the site to natural grade and condition. Failure to comply with such a
permit or any order by the director of building and safety is a violation of this chapter.
7.06.060 Evacuating and barricading damaged buildings. The director of building
and safety may order and/or accomplish the immediate evacuation and barricading of any
building thought to be structurally damaged by seismic activity, wind, tsunamis, flooding, decay,
structural failure, dysfunction of sanitation systems or infestations of insects or vermin wherein
persons therein would be endangered. The director may employ the provisions of Chapter 1.36
or other provisions of law allowing for summary abatement, when necessary.
7.06.070 Abandoned furniture and other materials. A. Any furniture, appliances,
clothing, signs, or new or used materials of any sort placed upon private property without

owners of such materials where that is possible, may take possession of such abandoned
materials and dispose of them in accordance with law.
C. Upon receipt of notice by the city that abandoned materials are present on private
property, the owners of the materials or the property shall promptly remove them. Failure to
comply with such notice is a violation of this code.
7.06.080 Maintenance and rehabilitation of boarded or vacant buildings. A. Except
as provided in subsection C of this section, the owner of any boarded building, whether boarded
by voluntary action of the owner or as a result of enforcement activity by the city, shall cause the
2000 Ordinance 3 Abandoned Facilities
(Smooth of 2"d strikeout) Chapter 7.06
boarded building to be rehabilitated for occupancy within ninety days after the building is
boarded.
B. Except as provided in subsection C of this section, no person shall allow a
building designed for human use or occupancy to stand vacant for more than ninety days.
C. An owner may permit a building to be boarded without being rehabilitated for
occupancy or to stand vacant for more than ninety days; provided, that one of the following
conditions applies:
1. The building is the subject of an active building permit for repair or
rehabilitation and the owner is progressing diligently to complete the repair or rehabilitation; or
2. The building meets all codes, does not contribute to blight, is ready for
occupancy, and is actively being offered for sale, lease, or rent; or
3. The director of building and safety determines that the building is not
likely to contribute to blight because the owner is actively maintaining and monitoring the
building. Active maintenance and monitoring shall include:
a. Maintenance of landscaping and plant materials in good condition,
b. Maintenance of the exterior of the building, including but not
limited to paint and finishes, in good condition,
c. Regular removal of all exterior trash, debris, and graffiti,
d. Maintenance of the building in continuing compliance with all
applicable codes and regulations,
e. Prevention of criminal activity on the premises, including but not
limited to use and sale of controlled substances, prostitution and criminal street gang activity.
7.06.090 Vacant building monitoring fee. A. Fee Imposed. There is imposed upon
every owner of a vacant building an annual building monitoring fee in an amount of $100. The
fee shall be periodically reviewed and adjusted by resolution of the city council. The fee shall
not exceed the estimated reasonable costs of monitoring the vacant building. The fee shall be
payable as to any residential or nonresidential building which:
1. Is boarded up by voluntary action of the owner or as the result of
enforcement activity by the city; or
2. Is vacant for more than ninety days for any reason.
B. Fee Waiver. The vacant building monitoring fee shall be waived by the director
of building and safety upon a showing by the owner that:
1. The owner has obtained a building permit and is progressing diligently to
repair the premises for occupancy; or
2. The building meets all applicable codes and is actively being offered for
sale, lease or rent; or
3. Imposition of the fee would impose a substantial economic hardship on
the owner or would hinder the rehabilitation of the building.
C. Procedure.
1. The vacant building monitoring fee shall be billed to the owner of the
property and mailed to the owner's address as set forth on the last equalized assessment roll of
the county assessor.
2. Any owner billed may apply for a waiver for the grounds set forth in
subsection B of this section by submitting a written statement of the grounds for the waiver,
together with the owner's daytime telephone number, to the director of building and safety
within thirty days after the billing is mailed to the owner. The director of building and safety
2000 Ordinance 4 Abandoned Facilities
(Smooth of 2"d strikeout) Chapter 7.06
shall review the written statement and may contact the owner to discuss the application of the
waiver. The director of building and safety shall prepare a written decision regarding the waiver
request, which shall be mailed to the owner.
3. An owner aggrieved by the decision of the director of building and safety
relating to an application for a waiver may appeal the director's decision to the advisory and
appeals board by submitting a written notice of appeal to the director of building and safety as
set forth in Section 15.04.060 of this code. The decision of the board shall be final.
4. If the fee is not paid within sixty days after billing, or within sixty days
after the decision of the director of building and safety or the advisory and appeals board
becomes final, the city council may thereupon order that the fee be specially assessed against the
property, it shall confirm the assessment and thereafter order said assessment to be collected at
the same time and in the same manner as ordinary real property taxes are collected. The
assessment shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in the case of
delinquency as is provided for ordinary real property taxes. All laws applicable to the levy,
collection, and enforcement of real property taxes are applicable to the special assessment.
7.06.100 Administrative penalty. A. Administrative Penalty Imposed. Any owner
of a building which remains boarded in violation of Section 7.06.080(A) or any owner of a
building which remains vacant in violation of Section 7.06.080(B) shall be liable for an
administrative penalty in an amount not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars per building for the
first violation. If the building is not brought into compliance within thirty (30) days following
notification, the owner shall be liable for an administrative penalty not to exceed five hundred
dollars per building, for the second and all subsequent violations. Each succeeding thirty (30)
day period when the building remains in violation shall constitute a new violation.
B. Action by Advisory and Appeals Board. The administrative penalty shall be
imposed by the advisory and appeals board upon the recommendation of the director of building
and safety after the owner shall have been afforded a hearing before the board. The hearing shall
be conducted in accordance with the appeal provisions of Section 15.04.060 of this code. In
setting the penalty, the board shall consider the severity of the blighting conditions on the
property and the owner's efforts, or lack thereof, to remedy the problem. The decision of the
board shall be final.
C. Penalty —Payment. The administrative penalty shall be due and payable within
thirty days after the decision of the board. If the penalty is not paid within forty-five days after
the decision of the board, the city council may thereupon order the penalty be a personal
obligation of the property owner or that it be specially assessed against the property involved, or
both. If the city council orders that the penalty be specially assessed against the property, it shall
confirm the assessment and thereafter said assessment may be collected at the same time and in
the same manner as ordinary real property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same
penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary real
property taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of real property
taxes are applicable to the special assessment.
The City Council may also cause a notice of lien to be recorded. The notice shall, at a
minimum, identify the record owner or possessor of the property and set forth the last known
address of the record owner or possessor, the date on which the penalty was imposed by the
board, a description of the real property subject to the lien, and the amount of penalty. The
notice of lien shall be recorded without payment of fee.
2000 Ordinance 5 Abandoned Facilities
(Smooth of 2"d strikeout) Chapter 7.06
D. Penalty waiver. The administrative penalty shall be waived if the advisory and
appeals board finds that imposition of the penalty would create a substantial economic hardship
on the owner, would hinder the rehabilitation of the building, or the owner rehabilitates the
property within a designated period of time.
E. Right of Judicial Review. Any person aggrieved by a decision of the advisory
and appeals board or City Council may obtain judicial review of said decision by filing an appeal
to be heard by the San Diego County Superior Court in accordance with the timelines and
provisions set forth in California Government Code Section 53069.4.
7.06.110 Nuisance —Criminal penalty. In addition to the administrative penalties
specified in Section 7.06.100, the owner, occupant, or agent of any lot or premises within the city
who permits or allows the existence of an abandoned building as defined in this chapter, or who
violates any mandatory provision or prohibition of this chapter upon any lot or premises owned,
occupied, or controlled by said person, is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof is
punishable as prescribed in Section 1.20.010.
7.06.120 Demolition and blight removal account. The City shall establish a
revolving fund account designated for "Demolition and Blight Removal". The City may use this
fund for the purchase of blighted or abandoned property or buildings maintained in violation of
this chapter. Any person maintaining a building in violation of this chapter may offer the
property for sale to the City at the property's fair market value. All fees, costs and expenses
shall be borne by the buyer and seller according to customary real estate sales practice. The City
shall pay for the property appraisal necessary to establish the fair market value based on the
condition of the property, to be performed by an appraiser acceptable to both parties. The City
may enter into separate arrangements with other public entities for acquisition, management and
disposition of the property.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

The City Council
Marylou Matienzo, Finance Director
Adoption of the Amended and Restated PARS (Public Agency RetirementSystem) Trust
Agreement
The City is currently a member of the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS), which currently provides
the City with an Alternate Retirement System, for our part-time, seasonal and temporary employees who
are ineligible for participation in our other Qualifying Retirement System(s). The City joined PARS as a
result of a Federal mandate in 1990. OBRA 90 mandated that all public employees not covered by a
qualified retirement system either be enrolled in Social Security or in an Alternate System beginning
January 1992.
The City's membership in PARS, administered by Phase II Systems, enabled the City to provide an
Alternate Retirement System that fully complied with the new provisions of the Federal law. Participation
in PARS result in savings for the City, when compared to Social Security, and yet provides more flexible
retirement benefits for our part-time, temporary and seasonal employees. In addition, PARS has offered the
City an efficient and cost effective administrative alternative with over 160 public agencies and 180,000
employees covered by the Trust.
Discussion:
In 1991, the original Trust Agreement for the Public Agency Retirement System (PARS) was established.
Recently Phase II System, the PARS Trust Administrator, informed the City that the legal documents of the
PARS Trust program have been updated in response to several law changes, which have amended the
operation of qualified plans.
• General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
• Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)
• Taxpayers Relief Act of 1997 (TRA '97)
• Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (SBJPA "96)
The PARS Trust Administrator has also taken this opportunity to modify the PARS Trust Agreement to
better describe its features:
• Each party's role, powers and responsibilities have been defined and clarified,
• Important terms have been defined, clarified and used consistently throughout the documents, and
• Concise procedures have been established for executing the provisions of the documents.
Participation in PARS is accomplished through the adoption of the PARS Trust, which is being updated at
this time. The following document is attached:
• The Amended and Restated PARS Trust Agreement
This document has been reviewed by the City Attorney and approved for The City Council's consideration
and action.
Recommendation:
The City Council adopt a Resolution to:
1. Adopt the Amended and Restated PARS Trust Agreement by adopting the Adoption Agreement
(Exhibit A)
2. Appoint the Plan Administrator by title, or the successor or designee;
3. Authorize the Plan Administrator to execute the adoption of the PARS Trust Agreement and
4. Authorize the Plan Administrator to take whatever additional administrative actions are
necessary to maintain participation in PARS.

ITEM TITLE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL
CITY AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH DON ILER, AIA,
FOR SITE PLAN EVALUATIONS/BUDGETARY ESTIMATES FOR THE HEADQUARTERS FIRE
STATION
PREPARED BY Walter Amedee, DEPARTMENT Fire
Management Analyst II
EXPLANATION
A CDBG Project was approved for Fiscal Year 1999/00 entitled "New Fire Station" with funding of $50,000. The purpose of the CDBG FY
1999/00 Project was to study Fire Department Space Needs, complete a HUD Section 108 Loan application, and related tasks associated with
the preliminary stages of analyzing the replacement of the Headquarters Fire Station. Phase I of the Fire Station Project included the
completion of a "Fire Department Space Needs Analysis". Phase II of the Fire Station Project included the completion of a "Site Plan
Evaluation/Budgetary Estimates". On November 23, 1999, Council reviewed the initial findings of the Fire Department Space Needs Study
and directed Staff to include the reuse of the existing facility in the planning process, which generated the need to complete a seismic
evaluation of the existing fire station.
On April 4, 2000, Council directed Staff to include the utilization of one hundred percent (100%) of the existing fire station site and building
with adjoining properties to the immediate west, 15th Street to the north, and the existing Multi -Cultural Center site and building. This
additional analysis will consider the use of the existing Multi -Cultural Center and fire station buildings and properties in their entirety. The
revised Site Plan "C-1" will show the fire station with an attempt to utilise as much of the existing Multi -Cultural Center and fire station
building spaces as possible.
To accomplish this task Staff is recommending approval of an agreement with Don Her, AIA, for the completion of Phase III of the Fire
Station Study, which will provide a revision of "Site Plan Evaluation/Budgetary Estimates" for Site Plan "C-1". Mr. Her will provide a short
written overview and recommendations regarding phased construction for both Site Plan "A" and revised Site Plan "C-1", and seismic analysis
including cost estimates to retrofit the existing fire station and Multi -Cultural Center to essential building standards. Mr. Her completed Fire
Station Study Phases I and II under a previous contract approved on September 7,1999.

STAFF REPORT
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 7 OF THE NATIONAL CITY
MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING CHAPTER 7.06 RELATING TO
ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES.
BACKGROUND:
In 1995 the City Council adopted Chapter 7.06 of the National City Municipal Code to
regulate abandoned buildings. Vacant buildings tend to attract vagrants, transients, drug
and other criminal activity, and have a documented history of fires. In addition, they are
often not maintained, accumulate trash, junk and debris resulting in infestations of rats
and other vermin. City staff identifies the abandoned buildings, notifies the owners and
has the buildings boarded. Staff then monitors the buildings to make sure that they
remain boarded.
In spite of the City's efforts, abandoned buildings continue to be a blight to the city.
Boarding the buildings addresses the problem of transients, however the owner will board
the building and a short time later the boards are taken off and the transients return. The
City then notifies the owner again and the cycle continues. Many of these buildings are
also unsightly. The exterior of the building and the yards are not regularly maintained.
To address the continuing problems associated with these buildings the Development
Services Group consisting of staff from the Fire, Police, Planning, Engineering, and
Building Departments and the City Attorney and Community Development Commission
met to discuss the problem of abandoned buildings in National City. This group felt that
revisions in the current law are necessary to address the problems. Many of the changes
are editorial in nature. Other changes address the additional problems associated with the
appearance of the property and give the City the ability to purchase the property if the
owners desire.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Section 7.06.010 D
This section states that loose paint is a health and safety hazard. This change came as a
result of the awareness of the dangers of lead based paint for the children. Due to the age
of many of the houses in National City the presence of lead based paint is a possibility.
Maintaining the exterior paint of the building will prevent children from ingesting lead
paint, which has peeled or chipped off and fallen to the ground. Not only will
maintaining the exterior paint prevent possible injury to children, it will enhance the
appearance of the building.
Section 7.06.030
The actual specifications for boarding the structure are now incorporated into this section.
The specifications state the type of attachment and the thickness of the boards. In
addition, it states that the boards must be painted the predominate color of the structure.
For commercial structures opaque window coverings may now be used in lieu of boards
and long as the windows are not broken. Also added in this section is the requirement for
the property owner to maintain the property free of weeds, litter and rubbish.
Section 7.06.090
The previous ordinance established a vacant building monitoring fee, however, an
amount was not determined. This section now sets the fee at $100 a year. This will
allow the Building and Safety Department to recover the cost of inspecting the building
four times per year. These inspections are necessary to prevent the removal of the boards
and to notice the owner if the exterior and yard are not maintained.
Section 7.06.120
This section establishes a revolving fund account, which the City may use to purchase
abandoned buildings, which the owner wishes to sell. Currently the owner has three
options once he is notified. He can 1) fix the building and board or occupy it, 2) pay the
fines and/or go to jail or 3) if the owner cannot afford to fix the property, he has the
option to apply for a rehabilitation loan with the CDC. This section of the ordinance will
give the owner a fourth option after they have failed to comply with any of the above
options. If the owner wishes to sell the property to the City the property will be appraised
and the City will purchase the property.
In order for the City to purchase properties a fund is proposed. The Spot Blight Removal
Fund would be initially funded with matching City and CDC funds. The City funds
would come from the sale of surplus land at Clairmont Ave. near Melrose St. The CDC
funds will come from the sale of land at 16th St and Euclid Ave. and the low -mod housing
fund. After the initial funding, additional funds would be generated from the sale of the
abandoned property after the building is demolished. Matching funds would be
appropriate since the abandoned buildings occur both inside and outside the
Redevelopment Area.
The ordinance was reviewed by the Advisory and Appeals Board and the CDC Housing
Committee and approved.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 7 OF THE
NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING
CHAPTER 7.06 RELATING TO ABANDONED
BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES
BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of National City that Title 7
of the Municipal Code is amended as follows:
Section 1. That the Chapter 7.06 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Chapter 7.06
ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES*
Sections:
7.06.010 Purpose and intent —Findings
7.06.020 Definitions.
7.06.030 Abandoned buildings —Barricading.
7.06.040 Abandoned buildings —Nuisance —Abatement.
7.06.050 Demolition and restoration required.
7.06.060 Evacuating and barricading damaged buildings.
7.06.070 Abandoned furniture and other materials.
7.06.080 Maintenance and rehabilitation of boarded or vacant buildings.
7.06.090 Vacant building monitoring fee.
7.06.100 Administrative penalty.
7.06.110 Nuisance —Criminal penalty.
7.06.120 Demolition and blight removal account
7.06.010 Purpose and intent —Findings. It is the purpose and intent of the City
Council to establish procedures to minimize or eliminate blight and adverse threats to the public
health, safety and welfare caused by improper maintenance of abandoned or vacant structures,
and to establish penalties and enforcement mechanisms to bring such properties into compliance.
The City Council finds and determines that:
A. Vacant buildings which have become unsecured or dilapidated, or which are
partially destroyed for an unreasonable period of time, attract undesirable individuals including
vagrants and criminals who use the buildings for illicit drug activity and other unlawful
purposes.

Chapter 7.06
B. The existence of vacant buildings which have become unsecured or dilapidated,
or which are partially destroyed for an unreasonable period of time, or which have been damaged
by fire or decay or otherwise, and which cannot be repaired so as to conform to the requirements
of Title 15 of this code, creates blight, which often spreads to surrounding areas.
C. The existence of vacant buildings which have become unsecured or dilapidated,
or which are partially destroyed for an unreasonable period of time, or which have been damaged
by fire or decay or otherwise and cannot be repaired so as to conform to the requirements of Title
15 of this code, constitutes a threat to the public health, safety and welfare, because such
conditions invite vandalism, arson, drug dealing, other crime problems and fire hazards, and
create unsightliness and blight that depreciates property values.
D. The existence of vacant buildings which become unsightly because of
deteriorated, weathered, chipped, cracked, or peeled paint creates an economic disincentive to
the value of surrounding property. Paint that is loose or falling to the ground causes a potential
health and safety violation due to possible lead -based paint that could be ingested by children,
causing sickness, mental retardation, and possibly death.
E. Unless corrective measures are undertaken to cure and prevent such public
nuisances, such serious threats to the public health, safety and welfare will continue to exist.
Therefore, the need to correct such conditions is sufficiently great so as to outweigh the potential
benefits of inaction, if any, to the owners of such vacant buildings.
7.06.020 Definitions. For the purposes of this chapter, "abandoned building" means
a building that is vacant, and which:
A. Has become unsecured or dilapidated; or
B. Is partially destroyed and remains so for a period in excess of six months; or
C. Has been damaged by fire, decay or otherwise, and cannot be repaired so as to
conform to the requirements of Title 15 of this code; or
D. Because of its physical condition invites vandalism, arson, drug dealing, and other
crime problems; or
E. Because of its physical condition constitutes a refuge for vagrants; or
F. Because of its physical condition constitutes a fire hazard; or
G. Because of its physical condition creates blight and depreciates surrounding
property value; or
H. Has been determined by the director of building and safety to constitute a
"dangerous building" as defined in the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous
Buildings, as adopted pursuant to Title 15 of this code; or
I. On at least three occasions within a twenty -four -month period, has been
barricaded and thereafter became unsecured so that persons could enter it.
7.06.030 Abandoned buildings —Maintenance and barricading. A. Any abandoned
building shall be substantially barricaded by its owner in a manner specified by the director of
building and safety to prevent unauthorized entry.
B. All gas and electric utility services shall be disconnected within five days of
vacation of a building. Reconnections will require approval by the department of building and
safety.
2000 Ordinance 2 Abandoned Facilities
Chapter 7.06
C. Unauthorized entry into or occupancy of an abandoned building is prohibited.
D. Specifications and orders by the director of building and safety for barricading a
building may include any of the following:
1. Boarding of doorways, crawl spaces, windows and openings are to be
accomplished by use of one-half inch (1/2") or thicker exterior grade plywood, fastened by lag
screws or one-way bolts to the frame or a cross brace, or both;
2. All barricades shall be painted to match the dominant exterior color of the
elevation of the building on which the barricade is placed. The dominant exterior color shall be
that color that occupies at least 60% of the particular elevation;
3. In the case of commercial buildings located on main or secondary
thoroughfares, opaque window coverings may be allowed by the director in lieu of a barricade,
provided all the windows are maintained, and, if broken or cracked, replaced within 72 hours.
The director may require broken or cracked windows to be replaced in lieu of barricading.
E. Abandoned buildings shall be maintained free of weeds, litter and rubbish at all
times. Violations shall be abated and cost recovery allowed as provided in this chapter and
related chapters for abatement of public nuisances.
7.06.040 Abandoned buildings —Nuisance —Abatement. Any building determined
by the director of building and safety to be an "abandoned building" under the provisions of this
chapter, is a public nuisance and shall be abated in accordance with the procedures for abatement
of public nuisances and recovery of costs therefor set forth in Chapter 1.36 of this code. The
Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings may be used where the building
qualifies as a "dangerous building" under that code.
7.06.050 Demolition and restoration required. All work requiring a demolition
permit pursuant to Title 15 of this code shall include the required removal of all foundations and
basements and restoring the site to natural grade and condition. Failure to comply with such a
permit or any order by the director of building and safety is a violation of this chapter.
7.06.060 Evacuating and barricading damaged buildings. The director of building
and safety may order and/or accomplish the immediate evacuation and barricading of any
building thought to be structurally damaged by seismic activity, wind, tsunamis, flooding, decay,
structural failure, dysfunction of sanitation systems or infestations of insects or vermin wherein
persons therein would be endangered. The director may employ the provisions of Chapter 1.36
or other provisions of law allowing for summary abatement, when necessary.
7.06.070 Abandoned furniture and other materials. A. Any furniture, appliances,
clothing, signs, or new or used materials of any sort placed upon private, property without
specific permission of the property owner or tenant, or upon public property without specific

owners of such materials where that is possible, may take possession of such abandoned
materials and dispose of them in accordance with law.
C. Upon receipt of notice by the city that abandoned materials are present on private
property, the owners of the materials or the property shall promptly remove them. Failure to
comply with such notice is a violation of this code.
2000 Ordinance 3 Abandoned Facilities
Chapter 7.06
7.06.080 Maintenance and rehabilitation of boarded or vacant buildings. A. Except
as provided in subsection C of this section, the owner of any boarded building, whether boarded
by voluntary action of the owner or as a result of enforcement activity by the city, shall cause the
boarded building to be rehabilitated for occupancy within ninety days after the building is
boarded.
B. Except as provided in subsection C of this section, no person shall allow a
building designed for human use or occupancy to stand vacant for more than ninety days.
C. An owner may permit a building to be boarded without being rehabilitated for
occupancy or to stand vacant for more than ninety days provided, that one of the following
conditions applies:
1. The building is the subject of an active building permit for repair or
rehabilitation and the owner is progressing diligently to complete the repair or rehabilitation; or
2. The building meets all codes, does not contribute to blight, is ready for
occupancy, and is actively being offered for sale, lease, or rent; or
3. The director of building and safety determines that the building is not
likely to contribute to blight because the owner is actively maintaining and monitoring the
building. Active maintenance and monitoring shall include:
a. Maintenance of landscaping and plant materials in good condition,
b. Maintenance of the exterior of the building, including but not
limited to paint and finishes, in good condition,
c. Regular removal of all exterior trash, debris, and graffiti,
d. Maintenance of the building in continuing compliance with all
applicable codes and regulations,
e. Prevention of criminal activity on the premises, including but not
limited to use and sale of controlled substances, prostitution and criminal street gang activity.
7.06.090 Vacant building monitoring fee. A. Fee Imposed. There is imposed upon
every owner of a vacant building an annual building monitoring fee in an amount of $100. The
fee shall be periodically reviewed and adjusted by resolution of the city council. The fee shall
not exceed the estimated reasonable costs of monitoring the vacant building. The fee shall be
payable as to any residential or nonresidential building which:
1. Is boarded up by voluntary action of the owner or as the result of
enforcement activity by the city; or
2. Is vacant for more than ninety days for any reason
B. Fee Waiver. The vacant building monitoring fee shall be waived by the director
of building and safety upon a showing by the owner that:
1. The owner has obtained a building permit and is progressing diligently to
repair the premises for occupancy; or
2. The building meets all applicable codes and is actively being offered for
sale, lease or rent; or
3. Imposition of the fee would impose a substantial economic hardship on
the owner or would hinder the rehabilitation of the building.
C. Procedure.
1. The vacant building monitoring fee shall be billed to the owner of the
property and mailed to the owner's address as set forth on the last equalized assessment roll of
the county assessor.
2000 Ordinance 4 Abandoned Facilities
Chapter 7.06
2. Any owner billed may apply for a waiver for the grounds set forth in
subsection B of this section by submitting a written statement of the grounds for the waiver,
together with the owner's daytime telephone number, to the director of building and safety
within thirty days after the billing is mailed to the owner. The director of building and safety
shall review the written statement and may contact the owner to discuss the application of the
waiver. The director of building and safety shall prepare a written decision regarding the waiver
request, which shall be mailed to the owner.
3. An owner aggrieved by the decision of the director of building and safety
relating to an application for a waiver may appeal the director's decision to the advisory and
appeals board by submitting a written notice of appeal to the director of building and safety as
set forth in Section 15.04.060 of this code. The decision of the board shall be final.
4. If the fee is not paid within sixty days after billing, or within sixty days
after the decision of the director of building and safety or the advisory and appeals board
becomes final, the city council may thereupon order that the fee be specially assessed against the
property, it shall confirm the assessment and thereafter order said assessment to be collected at
the same time and in the same manner as ordinary real property taxes are collected. The
assessment shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in the case of
delinquency as is provided for ordinary real property taxes. All laws applicable to the levy,
collection, and enforcement of real property taxes are applicable to the special assessment.
7.06.100 Administrative penalty. A. Administrative Penalty Imposed Any owner
of a building which remains boarded in violation of Section 7.06.080(A) or any owner of a
building which remains vacant in violation of Section 7.06.080(B) shall be liable for an
administrative penalty in an amount not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars per building for the
first violation. If the building is not brought into compliance within thirty (30) days following
notification, the owner shall be liable for an administrative penalty not to exceed five hundred
dollars per building, for the second and all subsequent violations. Each succeeding thirty (30)
day period when the building remains in violation shall constitute a new violation.
B. Action by Advisory and Appeals Board. The administrative penalty shall be
imposed by the advisory and appeals board upon the recommendation of the director of building
and safety after the owner shall have been afforded a hearing before the board. The hearing shall
be conducted in accordance with the appeal provisions of Section 15.04.060 of this code. In
setting the penalty, the board shall consider the severity of the blighting conditions on the
property and the owner's efforts, or lack thereof, to remedy the problem. The decision of the
board shall be final.
C. Penalty —Payment. The administrative penalty shall be due and payable within
thirty days after the decision of the board. If the penalty is not paid within forty-five days after
the decision of the board, the city council may thereupon order the penalty be a personal
obligation of the property owner or that it be specially assessed against the property involved, or
both. If the city council orders that the penalty be specially assessed against the property, it shall
confirm the assessment and thereafter said assessment may be collected at the same time and in
the same manner as ordinary real property taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same
penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary real

(619) 336-4380
April 20, 2000
To: Tom McCabe, City Manager
From: Burton S. Myers, Acting Public Works Director/City Engineer
Subject: PACNC Building
Brief History of the Building: The Building was originally used for the National City Girls
Club and served as their headquarters until approximately 1991, the year the new Boys
and Girls Club was built. The Building stood vacant and was used sparingly for the next
few years until the Pilipino American Community of National City signed a lease for the
Building. The lease was in effect until 3/4/00 when the PACNC terminated the lease. The
National City Adult School had an agreement with PACNC for 2 classes to be held in the
building. The City is honoring the school's agreement with PACNC. The classes end in
June of 2000.
At this time there are 3 potential Tenants desiring the use of the Facility. I will list
them and their projected programs and building requirements.
National City Fire Department: The Fire Department has a current need for office space
to cover additional demands made on the Department including; administrative, community
risk management, crisis team, conference and training room areas, and additional storage
area for files, equipment, safety gear, training props, public education materials, as well as
various new programs. Fire Department space needs will further accelerate as the
construction of the new. Fire Station nears. This will cause new demands and added
expansion of the building to support fire staff and building functions to provide an effective
and operational temporary Fire Station.
Southwestern College: They propose using the site for dental hygiene lasses during the
day and general studies classes in the evening. They would like to take immediate use of
the building and make interior modifications to allow for classroom instruction. The large
hall will be used as a Dental Hygiene Lab or a Health and Wellness Lab depending on
going negotiations with the Naval Station for use of their Dental Lab space. The programs
are to commence in the fall 2000 Semester beginning August 15, 2000 and running until
the City Fire Department has needs, or until Southwestem's New Facility is available,
whichever occurs first.
® Recycled Paper
National City Adult School: They propose to use the site to provide computer repair
classes, computer literacy programs, a certified nurse assistant program, and english
classes. Their programs and classes would run from 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Monday -
Fridays. The adult school propose remodeling of the existing hall to allow their computer
repair and any other needed renovation of the existing classrooms for instructional
purposes. Their programs would continue until construction or expansion of the Fire
Department.
Both Southwestern College and the National City Adult School will provide the
following:
• Administrative Coverage During Hours of Operations
Security During Hours of Operation
• Interior Renovation as needed for their use
• Building Maintenance and Custodial Service
• Utilities and Alarm Costs for the Buildings
Program and Course Agenda to be Provided to the City manager's Office
• Coordination with any other Educational or Community Entities for
Compatible use of the Facilities
Both Schools are aware of the Temporary Use of this Facility and have agreed to a
30-Day Notice to Vacate the Properties. They will agree to either leave renovations
or remove them upon City's request.
In conclusion the staff has reviewed all three proposals. It is recommended that the use
of the facility be taken to the City Council for direction on what would be the best use of
the facilities in the interim period until the new Fire Station is constructed.

CASE FILE NO. PD-2000-2
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of National City considered a Planned
Development Permit application to allow the expansion of an auto dealership at 3131 National
City Boulevard at a duly advertised public hearing held on April 3, 2000, at which time oral and
documentary evidence was presented; and,

contained in Case File No. PD-2000-2 and a Notice of Exemption maintained by the City and

foot lot contains ample room to accommodate the 2,010 square foot addition.
2. That the site has sufficient access to streets and highways that are adequate in width and
pavement type to carry the volume and type of traffic generated by the proposed use, since
the project involves a change to an existing structure that will not affect the use of the
property or traffic at the site.
