Status of Code Enforcement in Orange County -Appendix E: <br />CONCLUSION: <br />In staff's opinion, this program has merit and strong support and consideration should be given <br />to this initiative. <br />There aze numerous abandoned or dilapidated mobile homes throughout the County that could be <br />removed under this program. Staff had previously recommended that the County, on its own <br />volition, consider creating an abatement grant program to address various violations throughout <br />the region. While this is not technically a voluntazy program, the County can utilize the <br />available grant funds to address the problems created with property owners storing old, <br />dilapidated, mobile homes on their property. <br />Staff recommends that a meeting be scheduled with the Department of Solid Waste and that the <br />Zoning Enforcement Officer begin the process of working with staff to develop an abandoned <br />mobile home abatement program in accordance with the provisions of this legislation. <br />Staff has already begun the process of identifying abandoned or dilapidated mobile homes within <br />the area in an effort to increase the County's chances of being able to participate in the program. <br />Tlus program will have to be a joint effort with the Zoning Enforcement Section of the Planning <br />Depaztment and Solid Waste. Staff believes that an effective program can be developed to <br />address this important issue within the region.. <br />
