Councilors consider expanding Operation Clean Sweep to commercial properties
Summary
Councilor Amari and others asked legal staff whether Operation Clean Sweep — previously residential-focused — could be broadened to target repeat commercial violators, naming a local gas station and a Dollar Tree as examples.
Councilor Amari said Operation Clean Sweep was previously residential-only and urged the city to consider expanding it to commercial properties that repeatedly violate cleanup and maintenance expectations. "Before, it was previously only residential. I would like to see if we could make it expand it to commercial properties as well," Amari said.
Speakers pointed to examples such as a gas station near Calhoun School and a Dollar Tree location as repeat commercial problem sites; they asked the legal department to clarify whether existing program authority or city code would permit enforcement actions against commercial property owners under the same program rules, or whether separate procedures are needed.
