Recommendation
Approval of Proposed Ordinance.
Description/History
On May 9, 2022, the City of Mansfield adopted OR-2258-22 creating a new Chapter 116 in the Code of Ordinances. Chapter 116 established a donation box permit, maintenance regulations, and a process for approving, denying, or revoking such permits. This ordinance was adopted in conjunction with OR-2256-22, an amendment to Chapter 155, "Zoning," establishing provisions regarding the placement and minimum conditions for donation boxes.
Justification
The proposed ordinance revisions allow for improvement of the definition of permit revocation and impoundment terms, providing the designation of certain violations to be classified as a public nuisance, allowing the Department of Regulatory Compliance to implement more efficient enforcement procedures. Additionally, the proposed revisions would correct the section numbering, due to the January 23, 2023 revision including two Section "116.03". The proposed revisions would revise the numbering and ensure all of the section citations throughout the chapter are correct.
