Director of Community Development Bruckner explained in
detail the possibility of eliminating amortization from the

the City's amortization provisions would have far reaching
implications, such as abandoned and dilapidated signs could
remain forever; the swapmeet could remain indefinitely,
outside City control; bars and cocktail lounges without
conditional use permits could remain forever; the code
enforcement program would be -hampered, etc. He, further,
stated that the ultimate result of de -amortization would
be that the appearance of the City as it exists today
would remain indefinitely, without any improvements, except
for any new construction that might occur. He, further,
advised some of the options available to the Council.
