It is the intent of this chapter to establish specific regulations governing the demolition of structures within the City, in the interest of the health, safety, and general welfare of its citizens, business concerns and other affected sectors of the community. It is intended to protect property values, create a more attractive economic and business climate, and to enhance and protect the physical appearance of the community. It is further intended to facilitate economic and residential development by requiring demolition sites to be rendered clear and ready for future construction, thus promoting development or, in the alternative, to ensure that demolition sites are returned to their pre-built natural state, thus promoting open space and curbing the deterioration of the natural environment.
