THE ABATEMENT OF A NUISANCE THAT EXISTS DUE TO A FAILURE
TO COMPLETE THE STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF UNREINFORCED
MASONRY BUILDINGS AS REQUIRED BY CAMPBELL MUNICIPAL CODE.

1989 adopted the Unreinforced Masonry Building Ordinance #1779;
and
WHEREAS, the URM buildings were identified by field surveys and
owners were notified; and
WHEREAS" Phase 2 of that program required structural analysis to
be completed by December 31, 1992; and
WHEREAS, not all owners have completed voluntarily work required
for structural analysis by the established deadline; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Campbell that the Mayor and the City Clerk authorize the use
of police powers to enforce the abatement of said nuisance. Any
cost involved with the authorization shall become a lien upon
those properties not abating the nuisance voluntarily, such lien
shall be recorded with the County Tax Assessor's Office.

February 16, 1993 the City Council finds the URM buildings not
in compliance with the voluntary submittal of the structural
analysis constitute a public nuisance in that they are

and safety of the public as follows:
Structures or buildings,
lot improvements, which
conditions as determined

both permanent and temporary, or other
