B. A primary intent of the city council with respect to this chapter is to avoid demolition, or partial
demolition, of buildings in a manner that disrupts the character and development pattern of
established neighborhood and business areas. Accordingly, the council finds that it is in the
public interest to:
1. Require existing buildings to be maintained in a habitable condition until replaced by new
construction, except as otherwise permitted by this code;
2. Avoid demolition of existing structures until a complete building permit application is submitted for
new construction, except as otherwise provided in this chapter; and
3. Avoid creation of vacant demolition sites with minimal or no landscaping or other improvements.
