This Ordinance is designed to define, prevent, reduce, and eliminate
blight, blighting factors, and causes of blight and address other quality
of life activities in the City of Jackson that negatively impact the
public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the City of
Jackson. Consistent with the State Statute authorizing the creation of
an Administrative Hearings Bureau, the City of Jackson desires to
change zoning, building or property maintenance, solid waste and
illegal dumping, disease and sanitation, noxious weeds, and vehicle
abandonment, and inoperative vehicles from criminal misdemeanor
offenses to civil infractions punishable by a civil fine as determined
following a hearing in the Jackson City Administrative Hearings
Bureau.

provision of the Code of
Ordinances, City of Jackson,
Michigan regarding zoning,
building or construction,
building or property
maintenance or condition in
buildings or on the premises;
fire prevention; illegal
dumping, disposal of solid
waste; noxious weeds,
abandoned vehicles or
inoperative vehicles.
Blight
"Blight" means (working on
good definition which will
include the following -- The
storage of materials or
equipment incidental to and
necessary for the carrying out
of any business or occupation
lawfully being carried out on
