and declaring an emergency and immediate effective date.
WHEREAS, the Code Compliance Division and the City of Wichita Falls, acting
under the provisions of Article VIII of Chapter 22 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Wichita Falls, has served notice to the owners of the property listed in Section 2 of this
ordinance, that the building or buildings on the premises have been classified as
dangerous structures and that certain corrections were needed to be made or the
building(s) demolished; and,
WHEREAS, the property owners and all other persons having an interest in the
property have been duly served by the Code Compliance Division of the 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 2 should not be demolished in
accordance with the State of Particulars set forth in the Code Compliance 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 and List of
Structures for which Repair is Authorized justify the determinations herein that the
described buildings be demolished or repaired as 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 on 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 Code Compliance 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 be 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 Code Compliance
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 Code Compliance 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 restoration permit to restore this building within such time. If the property
owner obtains a restoration 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:
711 N. Beverly Drive
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 3rd day of February, 2026.

Prior Council Action: This property was previously ordered for demolition in September 2022. After
ownership transferred in October 2022, the new owner began self-demolition, but progress has been
slow and inconsistent. Although demolition resumed after environmental and historic reviews in
2023, the pace remains inadequate. Staff have been unable to reach the owner and are requesting
renewal of the demolition order so the property can be included in the next bid package.

Fires: The property at 2800 Holliday has experienced five structure fires since 2015; however, the earlier incidents
did not establish sufficient probable cause to lawfully enter the premises or obtain an administrative search warrant.
The most recent fires in 2025 caused substantial structural damage, providing the necessary probable cause to
pursue enforcement action at this time.
