Briefly, the Addressing Mesquite program is a neighborhood revitalization effort that was initiated by the City Council to address the issues or concerns with some of our older neighborhoods.
Addressing Mesquite includes the following elements:
Rental Inspection Program - requires all single and two-family rental homes throughout the city to pass an interior and exterior inspection before new tenants can occupy the home. Inspections cover a wide variety of areas in and around the home to determine compliance with minimum building codes and property maintenance standards.

Enhanced Code Enforcement - concentrates enforcement on the four priority neighborhoods to bring the building conditions of single-family homes within the neighborhood up to code. Enforcement of the Property Maintenance Code began with structures that are in the most severe condition and present an eyesore to the neighborhood.

Neighborhood Planning - provides a process where stakeholders in the priority neighborhoods assess the issues facing their neighborhood and establish a blueprint for implementing change. Neighborhood Planning is an in-depth examination of the neighborhood to identify all the issues and opportunities facing the neighborhood. Neighborhood Planning will allow each priority neighborhood to develop its own policy guide that will direct the City’s resources to the highest priorities identified by the neighborhood stakeholders.

Addressing Mesquite Day

- In a partnership with the Mesquite Ministerial Alliance (MMA), the City of Mesquite held a workday called the Addressing Mesquite Day. This workday involved connecting willing volunteers with people in need of assistance with their homes, all the while helping to enhance community spirit and promoting the larger Addressing Mesquite program.

The Neighborhood Planner along with other Planners from Planning and Zoning Department are responsible guiding and working with the residents from the four priority neighborhoods through the process of developing a neighborhood plan for their neighborhood.
