Article III — FEE SCHEDULE: PERMIT PROCEDURE

Sec. 14.34. - Hearing rules and procedures.

Oceanside Municipal Code · 2026-09 edition · updated 2026-09-27 · Oceanside

The following rules and procedures shall govern hearings held pursuant to this chapter:

(a)

Hearing officer; disqualification of director. The director shall be the hearing officer. Upon the disqualification of the director to act as hearing officer, either on his own motion or that of the permittee acceded in by the director, he shall designate an alternate hearing officer. The sole grounds for disqualification are financial interest, bias or prejudice; prior knowledge of facts alone does not constitute bias or prejudice.

(b)

Time. The hearing date shall be no less than ten (10) and no more than thirty (30) days following the date on which notice thereof was sent to the permittee.

(c)

Continuance. The hearing officer may order such continuance or continuances as he deems necessary and proper.

(d)

Transcript of hearing. The city or county is not required to furnish a shorthand reporter or any other method of reporting the hearing; the permittee may furnish such at his sole and nonreimbursable cost and expense if he so desires.

(e)

Waiver of irregularities. Any procedural or evidentiary irregularities in the hearing are deemed to be waived unless objection is taken thereto and a specific ruling requested thereon.

(f)

Findings. Specific findings, including a finding that the public health, safety and welfare are subject to a clear and present danger, may be made but are not required. If specific findings are not made, the hearing officer shall make a general finding that the actions or inactions complained of, as set forth in the notice of hearing, are true or untrue, and that such actions or inactions do or do not constitute a violation of the condition set forth in section 14.32.

(g)

Decision and order. If the hearing officer finds that the actions or inactions complained of are untrue, he shall order that the proceedings are dismissed. If the hearing officer finds that the actions or inactions complained of are true, and that a violation as aforesaid has occurred, he shall order either that the permit be suspended for a period not to exceed six (6) months or that the permit be revoked. The decision and order of the hearing officer shall be final unless an appeal is taken pursuant to section 14.35.

(h)

Modification or rescission of order of suspension. If the hearing officer orders that the permit be suspended for a certain period, the permittee may subsequently petition for the modification or rescission of the order of suspension and the reinstatement of the permit. The hearing officer, in his discretion, may grant or deny the petition; or he may grant the petition subject to the condition of the imposition of a probationary period, during which period any violation by the permittee of the condition set forth in section 14.32 is grounds for summary suspension of the permit for the remainder of the period established by the original order of suspension, and is also grounds for the institution of new proceedings for suspension or revocation of the permit. The order of the hearing officer with respect to such petition is final, and no administrative appeal shall lie therefrom.

(i)

Probation. If the hearing officer orders that the permit be suspended or revoked, he may, in the interests of justice and equity, further order that the order of suspension or revocation be stayed and the permittee be placed on probation for a period not to exceed three (3) years. The hearing officer may grant probation for a period not to exceed three (3) years. The hearing officer may grant probation on such conditions as he deems to be fair and reasonable. If the permittee is dissatisfied with the order or probation, or with the conditions thereof, he may reject the offer of probation, in which event the order of suspension or revocation shall become final; if the permittee is satisfied with the order of probation, he shall indicate such assent and his agreement to be bound by the terms thereof by affixing his signature thereof.

Upon the charge by the health officer of the violation by the permittee of a condition of probation, a hearing shall be held pursuant to this section, limited to the issue of whether or not such condition was in fact breached. If it is found that the condition was breached, the original order of suspension or revocation shall be forthwith enforced, and probation in the same matter shall not be granted again.

Upon the petition of the permittee for termination of probation and release from the conditions thereof, the rules and procedures established by subsection (h) hereof shall apply except that the hearing officer shall either grant or deny such petition and shall not impose any condition on such grant or denial.

(Ord. No. 83-14, § 9, 4-27-83)
