The cost of weed abatement shall be based upon an average lot size, and an average lot size shall be deemed to be approximately one-fifth of an acre or approximately 8,600 square feet. Lots less than this size shall be treated as equal to this size for purposes of assessment, and lots greater than this size shall be assessed based on the proportion of the average size to the existing lot. For example: a lot of between 8,601 and 12,900 square feet shall be charged at one and one-half times the rate, while a lot between 12,901 and 17,200 square feet shall be charged at twice the rate; and a lot equal to an acre shall be charged five times the rate. The rate assessed shall be set by the City Council by resolution. (Ord. 375, passed 9-1-2020)
