(a) Sections 106, Approval, 106.5 and 106.6; Section 111 Unsafe Structures and Equipment, 111.2.1; Section 202, General Definitions, Historic Buildings; Section 303, Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs of the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code are hereby repealed.
(b) Sections 108, Board of Appeals of the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code sets forth the process by which a decision of the Code Official may be appealed and establishes a separate board of appeals to hear said appeals.
City Council has reviewed this provision and is satisfied that the Planning and Zoning Commission, established by the Charter and empowered by the City’s Zoning Ordinance, is qualified to handle appeals under the Property Maintenance Code, and therefore it is redundant and unnecessary to establish an appeals board.
Section 108 is hereby amended as follows: Section 108.1, Membership of the Board. The Board of Appeals shall be the Newton Falls Planning and Zoning Commission.
