This Section describes the procedures for initiating enforcement action in cases where the Zoning Administrator and Code Compliance Manager have determined that real property within the City is being used, maintained, or allowed to exist in violation of the provisions of this Zoning Code and any conditions of land use permit or subdivision approval. It is the objective of these provisions to encourage the voluntary cooperation of responsible parties in the prompt correction of violations, so that the other enforcement measures provided by this Chapter may be avoided. For purposes of this
Section, whenever the term "Neighborhood Services Administrator" is used, it should be understood that the term also includes the "Zoning Administrator."
A.
Notice of Violation. The Code Compliance Manager shall provide the record owner of the subject site and any person in possession or control of the site with a written Notice of Violation, which shall include the following information:

A time limit for correcting the violation(s) in compliance with Subsection B, below;
3.

4.
A statement that the property owner may request and be provided a meeting with the Code Compliance Manager to discuss possible methods and time limits for the correction of the violation(s).
B.
Time limit for correction.
1.
The Notice of Violation shall state that the violation(s) shall be corrected within 30 days from the date of the notice to avoid further enforcement action by the City, unless the responsible party contacts the Code Compliance Manager within that time to arrange for a longer period for correction.
2.
The 30-day time limit may be extended by the Code Compliance Manager upon determining that the responsible party would likely correct the violation(s) within a reasonable time.
3.
The Code Compliance Manager may also require through the Notice of Violation that the correction occur within less than 30 days if the Code Compliance Manager determines that the violation(s) constitutes a hazard to public health or safety.
C.
Use of other enforcement procedures. The enforcement procedures of Section 17.78.110 (Legal Remedies), below may be employed by the Code Compliance Manager after or instead of the provisions of this Section where the Code Compliance Manager determines that this Section would be ineffective in securing the correction of the violation(s) within a reasonable time.

1.
If the commission finds, on the basis of evidence presented at the hearing, that the parking is inadequate to meet the demand for the PD-15 site, it may recommend amendments to the PD-15 development standards and PD plan as deemed necessary. In addition, if hotel occupancy has initially reached stabilization as defined herein, the commission shall require the imposition of one of the following remedial measures: provision of 1) additional on-site parking spaces up to a maximum of 114 spaces, of which 15% or fewer may be tandem parking, subject to a plan to be approved by the commission; or 2) permanent off-site parking for all nonmanagerial level employees, subject to a parking management plan to be approved by the commission; or 3) a combination of an off-site parking plan and creation of additional on-site parking of fewer than 114 parking spaces. The parking management plan must provide that the use of the off-site parking is mandatory for nonmanagerial hotel employees, and includes an off-site employee check-in system and continuous shuttle service to the hotel. As used herein, "stabilization" means at least 74% hotel room occupancy for a period of twelve consecutive months. In order to verify stabilization, the hotel owner and/or operator shall cooperate with the city and shall supply any data reasonably necessary to determine stabilization.
2.
Evidence that may be considered by the commission in making a finding of inadequate parking may include without limitation the number of parking attendants provided by the hotel; the amount of any charges, including gratuities, for parking on-site; and the efficiency and promptness of the system for vehicle retrieval.
3.
In addition to the one-year parking plan review, and subsequent reviews if deemed appropriate by the Planning Commission, the commission may also conduct such a review, at a duly noticed public hearing as provided above, and may make the finding and impose remedial measures as specified above, at the request of the board of directors of the Oak Knoll improvement association, made in writing and accompanied by evidence to support a finding of inadequate parking. Such a request may be made at any time after hotel occupancy has initially reached stabilization as defined above.
