11. PROPOSED ORDINANCE No. 1510 AMENDING TUSTIN CITY CODE PROVISIONS RELATED TO GRAFFITI AND GRAFFITI ABATEMENT
City staff requested that the City Attorney’s office draft proposed amendments to Chapter 7 of Article 5 of the Tustin City Code related to graffiti and graffiti abatement. Specifically, City staff requested amendments which would provide tools for more timely and efficient enforcement and abatement of graffiti nuisances within the City.
The proposed amendments to the City’s graffiti ordinance would simplify the process for the City to obtain approval to abate graffiti nuisances on private property, would shorten the time within which graffiti must be removed from public property from 7 days to 72 hours, would authorize more efficient enforcement for problem properties, and would add summary abatement as a tool to abate graffiti nuisances which pose an immediate danger to the safety, health and/or general welfare of the public as determined by appropriate City officials.
