SUPPLEMENT PREFACE

As of July 2004, the Code of the City of Glendale is being supplemented by Municipal Code Corporation.

PREFACE

This Code constitutes a complete recodification of the ordinances of the City of Glendale, Arizona of a general and permanent nature.

Source materials used in the preparation of the Code were the City's 1963 Code, and ordinances adopted by the Council. The source of each section is included in the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The absence of such a note indicates that the section is new and was adopted for the first time with the adoption of the Code. By use of the Comparative Tables appearing in the back of this volume, the reader can locate any section of the 1963 Code, as supplemented, and any ordinance included herein.

The chapters of the Code have been conveniently arranged in alphabetical order and the various sections within each chapter have been catchlined to facilitate usage. Footnotes which tie related sections of the Code together and which refer to relevant state laws have been included. A table listing the state law citations and setting forth their location within the Code is included at the back of this volume.

Numbering System

The numbering system used in this Code is the same system used in many state and municipal codes. Each section number consists of two component parts separated by a dash, the figure before the dash referring to the chapter number and the figure after the dash referring to the position of the section within the chapter. Thus, the first section of Chapter 1 is numbered 1-1 and the twenty-fifth section of Chapter 33 is 33-25. Under this system, each section is identified with its chapter and at the same time new sections or even whole chapters can be inserted in their proper place simply by using the decimal system for amendments. By way of illustration: If new material consisting of three sections that would logically come between Sections 33-25 and 33-26 is desired to be added, such new sections would be numbered 33-25.1, 33-25.2 and 33-25.3 respectively. New chapters may be included in the same manner. If the new material is to be included between Chapters 33 and 34, it will be designated as Chapter 33.5. Care should be taken that the alphabetical arrangement of chapters is maintained when including new chapters. New articles and new divisions may be included in the same way or, in the case of articles, may be placed at the end of the chapter embracing the subject, and, in the case of divisions, may be placed at the end of the article embracing the subject, the next successive number being assigned to the article or division.

Indices

The indices have been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular item has been placed under several headings, some of the headings being couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by municipal officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within each index which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which he is interested.

Looseleaf Supplements

A special feature of this Code to which the attention of the user is especially directed is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental servicing for the Code. With this system, the Code will be kept up-to-date periodically. Upon the final passage of amendatory ordinances, they will be properly edited and the appropriate page or pages affected will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to holders of copies of the Code, with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages. Each such amendment, when incorporated into this Code, may be cited as a part hereof.

 

The successful maintenance of this Code up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the volume. As revised sheets are received, it will then become the responsibility of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to the attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publishers that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference purposes.

Acknowledgments

The publication of this Code was under direct supervision of George R. Langford, President, and Roger D. Merriam, of the editorial staff of Municipal Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida. Credit is gratefully given to the other members of the publisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout the project.

An Ordinance of the Council of the City of Glendale, Maricopa County, Arizona, Adopting and Enacting a New Code for the City of Glendale, Arizona; Establishing the Same and Providing for the Repeal of Certain Ordinances Not Included Herein; Providing for the Manner of Amending and Supplementing Such Code; and Providing When Such Code Shall Become Effective; and Declaring an Emergency.

Be it Ordained by the Council of the City of Glendale as follows:

Section 1.  That the Code of Ordinances, consisting of Chapters 1—33, each inclusive, is hereby adopted and enacted as the "The Code of the City of Glendale," which Code shall supersede all general and permanent ordinances of the city adopted on or before March 31, 1985, to the extent provided in Section 2 hereof.

Section 2.  All ordinances of a general and permanent nature of the city adopted on final passage on or before March 31, 1985, and not included in such Code or recognized and continued in force by reference herein, are hereby repealed from and after the effective date of such Code.

Section 3.  The repeal provided for in Section 2 hereof shall not be construed to revive any ordinance or part thereof that has been repealed by a subsequent ordinance which is repealed by this ordinance.

Section 4.  Whenever in such Code or in any ordinance of the city any act is prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful or an offense or a misdemeanor, or whenever in such Code or ordinance the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful, where no specific penalty is provided therefor, the violation of any such provision of such Code or any ordinance shall be a Class 1 misdemeanor and punished as a Class 1 misdemeanor under state law. Each day any violation of any provision of such Code or of any ordinance shall continue shall constitute a separate offense. In addition to the penalties hereinabove provided, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of such Code or any ordinance shall be deemed a public nuisance and may be, by the city, abated as provided by law and each day that such condition continues shall be regarded as a new and separate offense.

Section 5.  Any and all additions and amendments to such Code, when passed in such form as to indicate the intention of the city to make the same a part of such Code, shall be deemed to be incorporated in such Code, so that reference to such Code shall be understood and intended to include such additions and amendments.

Section 6.  In case of the amendment of any section of such Code for which a penalty is not provided, the general penalty, as provided in Section 4 of this ordinance, and in Section 1-7 of such Code shall apply to the section as amended, or in case the amendment contains provisions for which a penalty, other than the aforementioned general penalty, is provided in another section in the same chapter, the penalty so provided in such other section shall be held to relate to the section so amended, unless the penalty is specifically repealed therein.

Section 7.  Any ordinance adopted after March 31, 1985, which amends or refers to ordinances which have been codified in such Code, shall be construed as if they amend or refer to like provisions of such Code.

Section 8.  Whereas the immediate operation of the provisions of this ordinance is necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, and safety of the City of Glendale, an emergency is hereby declared to exist, and this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage, adoption, and approval by the mayor and council of the City of Glendale, and it is hereby exempt from the referendum provisions of the constitution and the laws of the State of Arizona.

Passed, adopted and approved by the mayor and council of the City of Glendale, Maricopa County, Arizona, this 30th day of July, 1985.
