Kannapolis to begin Code enforcement education campaign
Kannapolis, N.C., January 9, 2009—The City of Kannapolis is beginning a new code enforcement initiative that will work to educate residents, merchants and property owners about the various regulations for property appearance in the City.
The City will take a staged approach, targeting individual corridors and neighborhoods for the education campaign. Beginning next week, Kannapolis code enforcement officials will begin working on the Cannon Boulevard corridor and the Carver Street area.
Once the education campaign concludes for these areas in early February, the City will begin a more aggressive approach to enforcing the code. The program will continue into other areas of the City as 2009 progresses.
“Many times our residents and businesses don’t know what is and isn’t allowable under our city code,” said Kannapolis Planning Director Ben Warren. “This new program will allow us to educate various stakeholders while helping to ensure that individual properties are kept up to our appearance and safety standards.”
For Cannon Boulevard, the outreach will include letters to property owners, visits from code enforcement officials to business owners, and public information sessions. Additionally, the City is working to create a recognition program that will likely include Intimidator’s tickets and recognition through the team as well as City publications.
The Carver area is the first residential neighborhood for the new program and was chosen because of the larger redevelopment efforts underway. The City will hold information sessions for local residents with information about common code violations such as junk vehicles, overgrown vegetation and unsafe residential structures.
Information Sessions
January 15 Cannon Boulevard merchants and property owners
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Kannapolis Train Station 201 S. Main Street
January 16 Carver Community residents and property owners
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Kannapolis Train Station 201 S. Main Street
