Administrative Order No. 601
Administrative & Community Services
Subject: Arterial Maintenance Policy Initial Effective Date: 10/18/06
Revised
Approved
I. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Administrative Order is to establish a policy and define departmental responsibilities
for maintenance of rights of way along arterial roadways where fences and/or walls have been required
to be installed as a condition of development review approval for residential subdivisions.
II. POLICY:
It shall be the policy of the City to perform regular maintenance in the form of weed abatement in
locations where fences and/or walls have been required to be constructed (and the City has formally
accepted the improvements) as a buffer between residential subdivisions and adjacent arterial roadways.
Specific locations have been identified where fences or walls have been installed as a condition of
development review approval, and due to the design of the fence or wall, accessibility to perform proper
maintenance (in the form of weed abatement) is not practical for the private property owner.
III. PROCEDURE:
Administrative and Community Services Department Facility Services crews shall perform weed
abatement in the designated areas on a regular schedule similar to a schedule for mowing planting strips.
If the area identified for maintenance has a planting strip in the immediate vicinity, the weed abatement
shall be performed in conjunction with the mowing of the planting strip. If the area identified for
maintenance does not have a planting strip, it shall be scheduled for regular maintenance when crews are
working on similar projects in the vicinity.
All standard procedures and safety guidelines for operation of equipment, removal of debris, etc. shall
be observed by City crews during implementation of this procedure. Facilities maintenance crews shall
abate the areas of weeds and debris, including weeds that may grow between the curb and sidewalk.
Facilities maintenance crews are not required to address conditions of overhanging vegetation from trees
while conducting this weed abatement work; these conditions may be referred to and will be addressed
by the Code Enforcement Division of the Community and Economic Development Department.
Additionally, if deliberately planted landscaping materials installed by the private property owner are
allowed to overgrow through fences into these areas, this condition may also be reported to and will be
addressed by the Code Enforcement Division.
• Areas of the City that have been identified for arterial weed abatement are listed below and illustrated on
the subsequent maps (modification of this list and associated maps shall occur only with City Manager
approval and after recommendation of the Community&Economic Development Director):
