FROM: Michael Codron, Community Development Director
Prepared By: Anne Schneider, PE, Chief Building Official
Teresa Purrington, Code Enforcement Supervisor
SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE INTRODUCED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
ON MARCH 7, 2017 TO REPEAL CHAPTER 15.10 RENTAL HOUSING
INSPECTION PROGRAM OF TITLE 15 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Ordinance No. 1632 (2017 Series) repealing Chapter 15.10 of the San Luis Obispo
Municipal Code regarding Rental Housing Inspection.
DISCUSSION
On March 7, 2017, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1632 (2017 Series), which repeals
Chapter 15.10 Rental Housing Inspection. No language is proposed to be added. The meeting
followed a comprehensive public workshop and discussion of the Rental Housing Inspection
Program, which occurred on February 16, 2017.
Ordinance No. 1632 is now ready for adoption and will become effective 30 days after its
passage.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Do not adopt Ordinance No 1632. The Council could decide not to move forward with
the repeal of Chapter 15.10. This alternative is not recommended because the City
Council was unanimous in its direction to staff to move forward with the repeal of the
program, which has already begun.
2. Direct changes to Ordinance No. 1632. The City Council could direct staff to make
changes to Ordinance No. 1632. This alternative is not recommended because the action
directed by the City Council was to repeal the ordinance in its entirety. Council also
directed staff to develop revised code enforcement priorities, which will return the
Council for consideration in September 2017.
