The property at 4023 South Noland Road exhibits conditions of blight. The property owner has not been responsive to the City's attempts to contact them regarding their unwillingness to improve the property.
Improvements are needed to alleviate the conditions of blight on the property, which will require that the land be acquired by negotiations or condemnation.
This ordinance declares the need for the City to acquire the property in order to alleviate the blight conditions, and further directs the City Manager to negotiate with the owners for the property. If the owner cannot be located or is unwilling to make improvements, this ordinance authorizes the City Manager to proceed with condemnation of the property.
