Code Enforcement and Building Inspection staff has noted the decay and decline of the property over that time. In addition, the owner lost the liquor license for the property since the Pub was not operating. City staff has been in contact with the owner regarding the property maintenance issues, in and around the property, and the owner has offered to donate the property to the City for demolition rather than undertake extensive repairs. The City's plan would be to demolish the structure and make it available for future redevelopment. Analysis The property is located just outside the Southshore Redevelopment. City staff has served multiple code enforcement actions on the owner. The owner is unable or unwilling to correct the code violations. Staff has determined that the cost of correcting the violations would not be a feasible investment for this property. Demolition is the remaining option. Asbestos investigation and removal would be required prior to demolition. Fiscal Impact City staff estimates the demolition costs for the structure could be about $15,000 to $20,000. The cost could be reduced to only asbestos removal and landfill tipping fees of a few thousand dollars if City Public Works crews could demolish the structure when they have time available later this year. CDBG and /or blight removal funds will be used for the remaining demolition costs. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Spot Blight Designation and Accept the donation of property.
