BACKGROUND
Staff seeks direction from the City Council to consider the initiation of the revocation process.
Staff was advised the property located at 306 and 316 South Meadow Avenue received several citations these past years due to not complying with the conditional use permit conditions approved by City Council.
The property has received the following citations:
• On December 12, 2017, the owners of the property received a citation for “using a B1 Zoning District as an auto impound yard / inoperable vehicle holding yard”.
• On December 12, 2017, the owners of the property received a citation for “having a sheet metal fence”, which is not allowed by the City of Laredo Land Development Code.
• On April 25, 2023, the owners of the property received a citation for “not having all areas used for storage of vehicles fully paved”, which is required as per the Conditional Use Permit, Ordinance 2016-O-015.
• On April 25, 2023, the owners of the property received a citation for “having inoperable or junk vehicles stored”, which is prohibited as per the Conditional Use Permit, Ordinance 2016-O-015.
• On August 31, 2023, the owners of the property received a citation for “not having all areas used for storage of vehicles fully paved”, which is required as per the Conditional Use Permit, Ordinance 2016-O-015.
• On August 31, 2023, the owners of the property received a citation for “having inoperable or junk or partially dismantled vehicles stored”, which is prohibited as per the Conditional Use Permit, Ordinance 2016-O-015.
The City of Laredo Land Development Code Section 24.94.10(a)(1) states, “Violation of any of the conditions of the conditional use permit if not corrected to the satisfaction of the city within 90 days of the owner having received written notice of the violation and the means necessary to correct it”.
Legal Department has expressed that pursuit of revocation of the Conditional Use Permit demonstrates exhaustion of available remedies prior to initiation of alternative legal enforcement measures.
