(A) The intent of this title and its subsequent chapters is to encourage a clean, healthy and satisfying environment for its citizens, one free from nuisances, eyesores and unhealthy or devaluating conditions. To these ends, the city seeks to regulate, identify and provide a means to enforce the regulations to protect the health, safety and welfare of its residents and property owners.
(B) The city will only accept complaints from complainants who are directly affected by an alleged violation of this chapter. The term “directly affected” refers to complainants who own real property within 350 feet of the allegedly offending property. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the City Council from acting on its own motion to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
