§ 268.812. Creation of pedestrian mall by ordinance; requirements for consideration and adoption of ordinance; notice required for adoption of ordinance
1. The governing body of an incorporated city whose population is 500,000 or more
may by ordinance create a pedestrian mall. 2. Before adopting an ordinance creating a pedestrian mall, the governing body must
find that it would be in the best interests of the city and beneficial to the owners
of adjacent property to use the street or streets or other thoroughfare or thoroughfares
primarily for pedestrians. 3. The ordinance must establish the boundaries of the pedestrian mall and the governing
body may change the boundaries by ordinance. The area included within a pedestrian mall may be contiguous or noncontiguous. 4. In addition to other requirements for the consideration and adoption of an ordinance,
at least 10 days before the date fixed for a public hearing on the adoption of the
ordinance creating a pedestrian mall, a notice of the date, time and place of the
hearing and a copy of the proposed ordinance, or notification that a copy is available
in the office of the city clerk, must be mailed to the owners of record of the property
included within the proposed boundaries of the pedestrian mall. The names and addresses of the owners of such property may be obtained from the
records of the county assessor or from such other source or sources as the governing
body deems reliable. Any such list of names and addresses appertaining to any pedestrian mall may be
revised from time to time, but such a list need not be revised more frequently than
at 12-month intervals. 5. Unless otherwise provided by the governing body in the ordinance, all property
of the city that is used in conjunction with or as a part of the pedestrian mall remains
property of the city and must not be considered vacated for any purpose.
