illegal RV’s and trailers. These have resulted in 15 Administrative Citations, totaling $12,875 to date.

Notices of Violations are attached as Exhibit 2; Administrative Citations are included as Exhibit 3.

The City has notified the property owner and property manager of this public hearing by providing a notice in the form required by Vista Municipal Code (VMC) Section 8.36.080. The notice was also posted on the property at least 15 days prior to the public hearing (VMC Section 8.36.090) and sent by certified mail and first-class delivery to the property owner (VMC Section 8.36.100). Staff also notified the property owner/property manager of the continued public hearing date and re-posted the hearing notice at the site.

Summary of Abatement Process: Under VMC Chapter 8.36, the City Council may conduct a public hearing to consider all relevant evidence from all interested persons to determine whether the condition of the premises constitutes a nuisance, and if so, to propose the rehabilitation, repair, or demolition of such premises. If the City Council determines that the premises at 1248 S. Santa Fe Avenue and the adjoining vacant lot constitute a public nuisance, it may adopt a resolution setting forth its findings and ordering the property owner or other person having charge or control of such premises to abate the nuisance within 30 days of the resolution's adoption. If the owner fails to clean the premises, the City Manager shall be authorized to abate the public nuisance per VMC Section 8.36.140(B).

In the event the City is forced to abate the violations, the City Manager is required to report back to the City Council on the cost of the abatement (VMC Section 8.36.150(A)). The City Council may recover the City's cost of abating the nuisance by assessing the property owner with a special assessment against the property. The assessment will be placed on the property tax roll for collection (VMC Section 8.36.170).

Condition of Property at 1248 S. Santa Fe Avenue and Adjoining Vacant Lot (APN 180-164-31 & 32- 00) Constitutes a Public Nuisance: Section 8.36.030 states that "it is unlawful for any person owning, leasing, occupying, or having charge or possession of any premises in this city to maintain it in such a manner that a public nuisance exists upon such property as determined by the City pursuant to [Chapter

8.36]."
A public nuisance exists when:

A)The maintenance or condition of the property is such that it endangers the life, limb, health, property, safety, or welfare of the public or occupants thereof, or constitutes a public nuisance as defined by Civil Code Section 3479 et seq.;
B)Maintenance of property in such condition as to become defective, unsightly, or in such a state of deterioration or disrepair that it causes appreciable diminution of the property values of surrounding properties or is materially detrimental to nearby properties and improvements; and C)Maintenance of premises is so out of harmony with the maintenance standards of adjacent properties as to cause substantial diminution of the enjoyment, use, or property values of such adjacent properties.

The City's Code Enforcement Officers have inspected 1248 S. Santa Fe Avenue and its adjoining lot on multiple occasions. It is their professional opinion that, due to the current conditions, the sites are an unattractive nuisance and are out of harmony with surrounding properties, thereby diminishing the enjoyment and use of the area. Property photos are attached as Exhibit 4 for reference. Accordingly, staff submits that the current state of these properties constitutes a public nuisance as defined by Vista Municipal Code (VMC) Sections 8.36.030, 8.36.040(B)(3), 8.36.040(B)(4), 8.36.040(B)(6), and

8.36.040(B)(8). Unless and until the City Council declares 1248 S. Santa Fe Avenue and the adjoining vacant lot a public nuisance, it is anticipated that these properties will remain in their current state.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the staff recommendation. In the event the property owner fails to comply with the City Council’s order within the time directed in the resolution, 09/10/2024 PH1 2 of 113
