Chapter 17.650 — ENFORCEMENT

This Chapter provides procedures that are intended to ensure compliance with the requirements of this Title and the conditions of a land use permit approval. (Ord. 2456 § 2, 2010)

• A. Public Nuisance. Any use, structure, or property that is altered, enlarged, erected, established, maintained, moved, or operated contrary to the provisions of this Title or any condition of approval, is hereby declared to be unlawful and a public nuisance and may be abated by the City through civil proceedings by means of a restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, or in any other manner provided by law for the abatement of such nuisances.

• B. Stop Work Order. Construction in violation of this Title or any condition imposed through this Title shall be subject to the issuance of a "Stop Work Order." A violation of a Stop Work Order

shall constitute a misdemeanor.

• C. Penalty. Any violation of or failure to comply with the provisions of this Title shall be deemed to be a misdemeanor, and punishable as such, notwithstanding the fact that at the discretion of the City Attorney, the violation of any Section of this Title may be prosecuted as an infraction. Each day a violation of any provision of this Title continues shall be a new and separate violation.

• (Ord. 2456 § 2, 2010)

All remedies contained in this Title for the handling of violations or enforcement of the provisions of this Title are not mutually exclusive of any other applicable provisions of City, County, State, or Federal law and do not prevent concurrent or consecutive methods being used to achieve compliance against continuing violations. (Ord. 2456 § 2, 2010)

Every owner and applicant seeking an approval or any other action through this Title shall allow authorized City officials, or their designees, reasonable access to any premises or property that is the subject of the approval or other action. Once an approval or other action has been granted in compliance with this Title, the owner or applicant shall allow authorized City officials, or their designees, access to the premises where there is reasonable cause to believe the premises or property is not in compliance with the approval or other action. (Ord. 2456 § 2, 2010)

Any person who establishes a land use, or alters, constructs, enlarges, erects, maintains, or moves a structure without first obtaining a permit required by this Title, or any condition imposed through this Title, shall pay the additional permit processing fees established by the most current City Council Fee Resolution for the correction of the violation before being granted a permit for a use or structure on the site.
