Permits and Enforcement
6.3 16-0501
An ordinance amending Chapter 94: Public Nuisances, of the Lake County Code of
Ordinances to expand available pre-violation notice options for enforcement staff.
· Currently, certain violation types in the Public Nuisance Ordinance require an initial
inspection and the issuance of an official warning ticket.
· The Planning, Building & Development Department presented scenarios to the
committee at the March, 2016 committee meeting in which an initial inspection and
warning ticket is unnecessary burdensome and inefficient.
· Staff worked with the State’s Attorney’s Office on proposed amendments to the
Ordinance that gives the department the option to dispense with the pre-violation
inspection and ticket requirement and allows the use of such process on a discretionary
basis, by administrative policy.
