There is a broad range of subjects including the city’s Public Nuisance ordinance to be found at Title 9 Public Peace, Morals and Welfare.
“It is the policy of the City pursuant to Section 31-15- 401(c), C.R.S., that every public nuisance shall be restrained, prevented, abated, and perpetually enjoined. It is the duty of the City Attorney or his designee to bring and maintain an action, pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter, to restrain, prevent, abate, and perpetually enjoin any such public nuisance. Nothing contained in this Chapter shall be construed as an amendment or repeal of any of the criminal laws of this City or the State of Colorado, but the provisions of this Chapter, insofar as they relate to those laws, shall be considered a cumulative right of the people in the enforcement of such laws.” (Ord. 2005-01)
Chapter 9.11 Public Nuisances covers violations specifically deemed to be a “public nuisance” that may ultimately require the City of Fruita to restrain, prevent or abate. This ordinance allows the city to seek judgment, injunction or a court order to enforce relief from such violation. Questions or complaints should be directed to Code Compliance or the Police.
