Sec. 78-1614. -Authority/enforcement actions. <br /> Nothing herein contained shall prevent the city from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy <br /> any violation. Such actions may include but are not limited to: <br /> (1) In responding to a suspected article violation, the planning director and the city may utilize the full array of <br /> enforcement actions available to it including but not limited to prosecution and fines, injunctions, after-the-fact <br /> permits, and/or orders for corrective measures to the guilty party. <br /> (2) When an article violation is either discovered by or brought to the attention of the planning director, the planning <br /> director shall immediately investigate the situation and document the nature and extent of the violation of the official <br /> control. As soon as is reasonably possible, this information will be submitted to the MCWD along with the <br /> community's plan of action to correct the violation to the degree possible. <br /> (3) The planning director shall notify the suspected party of the requirements of this article and all other official controls <br /> and the nature and extent of the suspected violation of these controls. If the structure and/or use is under <br /> construction or development, the planning director may order the construction or development immediately halted <br /> until a proper permit or approval is granted by the community. If the construction or development is already <br /> completed, then the planning director may either: (1) issue an order identifying the corrective actions that must be <br /> made within a specified time period to bring the use or structure into compliance with the official controls; or (2) <br /> notify the responsible party to apply for an after-the-fact permit/development approval within a specified period of <br /> time not to exceed 30-days. <br /> (4) If the responsible party does not appropriately respond to the planning director within the specified period of time, <br /> each additional day that lapses shall constitute an additional violation of this article and shall be prosecuted <br /> accordingly. The planning director shall also upon the lapse of the specified response period notify the landowner <br /> to restore the land to the condition which existed prior to the violation of this article. <br /> (Ord. No. 28 3rd series, § 1, 8-22-2005) <br />
