## Text

If the Planning and Development Director determines that an owner, occupant or other responsible person has
failed to comply with the requirements and provisions of this Development Code, the Director shall issue or direct
the issuance of a written notice of violation to such owner, occupant or other responsible person. Where a person
is engaged in activity covered by this Code without having first secured a permit authorizing the work, the notice of
violation shall be served on the owner, occupant or other responsible person in charge of the activity being
conducted on the site.

1. The notice of violation shall contain:
a. The name and address of the owner, occupant or other responsible person, if known;
b. The address or other description of the site upon which the violation is occurring;
c.
A statement specifying the nature of the violation;
d. A description of the remedial measures necessary to bring the action or inaction into compliance

with this Code and the date for the completion of such remedial action;
e. A statement of the penalty or penalties that may be assessed against the person to whom the

notice of violation is directed; and
f.
A statement that the determination of violation may be appealed to the Planning and
Development Director by filing a written notice of appeal within 10 working days after the notice
of violation (except, that in the event the violation constitutes an immediate danger to public
health or public safety, 24 hours’ notice shall be sufficient).
g.
If the identity of the owner, occupant or the responsible person cannot be determined, the
notice of violation may be posted in a prominent and visible location on the property where the
violation has occurred or is occurring. Such posting shall establish constructive and sufficient
notice of the violation to such owner, occupant, or responsible person regarding the violation.
