§ 17.02.061. Revocations and right of revocation.

Upon determination that there has been a violation of the terms or conditions of any permit or approval granted under this Zoning Ordinance; or if a determination is made that a permit or approval was obtained by deception or fraud, or represents a public nuisance; or the use subject to the approval no longer exists; or the permit or approval has not been activated in accordance with the terms of this Title 17, the Planning Director shall have the authority to initiate revocation proceedings.

A.

Public Hearing Required for Revocation. The Planning Director shall schedule a hearing before the Planning Commission for the purpose of considering revocation of the permit or approval. In the case where the Planning Commission's original action consisted of a recommendation to the City Council, the Planning Commission's action on the revocation shall also consist of a recommendation to the City Council, and the City Council shall have the authority to revoke the permit or approval.

B.

Written Notice to Permittee. At least 30 days prior to the revocation hearing, the permittee (the owner of the property, use, or business subject to the revocation) subject to the revocation hearing shall be given written notice of the City's intent to conduct the hearing. The notice to the permittee shall be served either in person or by registered mail, return receipt requested.

C.

Public Notice. At least ten days prior to the revocation hearing, public notice of the hearing shall be given in the same manner as was required for the original permit or approval.

D.

Evidence in Support of Motion. At the hearing, the Planning Director shall present evidence supporting the motion for the revocation of the permit or approval. The permittee shall be given the opportunity to present reasons why the permit or approval shall not be revoked.
