time and date of the Public Hearing for the property owners to appear before the City
Council to show cause why such buildings or structures in Section 3 should not be
demolished in accordance with the State of Particulars set forth in the Building and
Code Administration Division's notice; and said Public Hearing was had and held at the
time and place fixed therefore, the day of the approval of this ordinance, in the Council
Chambers in the City of Wichita Falls, Texas, and at such Public Hearing, protests and
objections were made in accordance with the List of Objections (to be attached after
meeting) and said hearing was continued until all desiring to be heard were given full
fair opportunity to be heard and the City Council of the City of Wichita Falls, having
fully considered all property matters, is of the opinion that the said hearing should be
closed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the photographs and other evidence
presented at the hearing and in the List of Structures to be Repaired justify the

established in this ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS, THAT:
1. The aforementioned public hearings are closed, and the protests and
objections are overruled, except as identified in the List of Objections. If corrective
actions are not completed within the period authorized by the City Council acting as
Building Commission, the structure will be demolished.
2. From the evidence presented in the aforementioned Public Hearing by
property owners appearing and the Building and Code Administration Division for the
City of Wichita Falls, the buildings and /or structures at the locations listed in the
attached List of Structures to be Demolished, with the corresponding property
owners, are found to dangerous buildings which cannot be repaired as defined in said
Article VIII of Chapter 22 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wichita Falls, and the
property owners listed therein and any other person having an interest in said buildings
as shown by the title search by the City of Wichita Falls are hereby commanded to
demolish the buildings and /or structures in accordance with the State of Particulars set
forth in the Building and Code Administration Division's notice. The property owners
listed on the attached List of Structures to be Demolished and any other person
having an interest in said buildings as shown by title search by the City of Wichita Falls
are further commanded to demolish in accordance with the State of Particulars set forth
in the Building and Code Administration Division's notice within 30 days from the date
of this ordinance.
3. If, within 30 days from the date of this ordinance, any building listed in Section
2 of this ordinance has not been demolished and removed, then it shall be demolished
and removed at the expense of the City, by the City or the City's contractors (subject to
City funding), and the net cost for demolition or removal shall be charged to the owners
of the property and assessed on the land on which the building stood.
4. The dangerous building demolition order for the properties listed in the List of
Structures for which Repair is Authorized is suspended for 30 days from this date,
and the dangerous building demolition order is to be valid again if the property owner
does not obtain a building permit to restore this building within such time. If the property
owner obtains a building permit to restore this building within the aforementioned
period of time, then the dangerous building declaration for this property is suspended
for the additional time of 90 days, and the dangerous building demolition order is to be
valid again if the property owner does not bring this building into compliance with all
codes of the City of Wichita Falls within the aforementioned 90 days. If the property
owner brings this building into substantial compliance (as determined by the City's
building official) with all codes of the City of Wichita Falls within the aforementioned 90
days, then this dangerous building order will be terminated. The owner's failure to
comply with either of the aforementioned deadlines will authorize the City to demolish
the structure without further notification to the owner or any other party.
List of Structures for which Repair is Authorized:
See Exhibit "A"
5. These structures pose a danger of collapse and conflagration, harbor pests, spread
disease, and are places of assembly for dangerous criminals; therefore, their
demolition constitutes an emergency for the immediate preservation of the public
business place, property, health, safety and general welfare of the public, as this
ordinance shall become effective immediately from and after the date of its passage
and accordingly it is so ordained.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 1St day of May, 2012.
