Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, an order issued by the Enforcement Officer pursuant to section 9-1-131(C) and an ordinance approved by City Council pursuant to section 9-1-131(D) may not require repairs, alterations or improvements to be made to a vacant manufacturing facility or a vacant industrial warehouse to preserve the original use. The order and ordinance may require the building or structure to be vacated and closed, but repairs may be required only when necessary to maintain structural integrity or to abate a health or safety hazard that cannot be remedied by ordering the building or structure closed for any use.
