Part 13 — Revocation of Permit

If the Zoning Administrator or hearing body determines, based on inspection by City staff, that there are reasonable grounds for revocation of a development permit pursuant to this title, he or she shall set a hearing before the original hearing body, or if the decision was made by the Zoning Administrator, to the body to which appeal may be taken under this title. If the City Council was the original hearing body, it may refer the proposed revocation to the Planning Commission for its report and recommendation prior to such hearing. (Ord. 1156-03 C-M, eff. May 22, 2003)

Notice shall be given in the same manner provided in Part 9 of this chapter. The public hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures established in Part 10 of this chapter. (Ord. 1156-03 C-M, eff. May 22, 2003)

The hearing body shall revoke the development permit upon making one or more of the following findings:

(a) That the development permit was issued on the basis of erroneous or misleading information or by concealment or misrepresentation by or on behalf of the applicant; and/or

(b) That the terms or conditions of approval of the permit relating to establishment or operation of the use approved have either been violated or not met, or that other laws or regulations of the city, county, state, federal or regional agencies applicable to the development have been violated. (Ord. 1156-03 C-M, eff. May 22, 2003) 14-10.1303 Notice of decision. Notice of the hearing body’s decision shall be made pursuant to Section 14-10.602 for the Planning Commission and Section 14-10.701 for the City Council.

A decision to revoke a development permit shall become final fourteen (14) business days after the date of notice of the decision was given, unless appealed. After the effective date, all activities pursuant to the permit are deemed in violation of this title. Appeal of the decision to revoke the permit shall be to the City Council and conform to the procedures established in Part 11 of this chapter.

There shall be no further administrative appeal where the Council has revoked a development permit. Whenever any application for a development permit is revoked, an application for a development permit for all or a part of the same property shall not be considered for a period of one (1) year from the date of revocation unless the subsequent application involves a proposal that is materially different from the previously revoked proposal.

(Ord. 1156-03 C-M, eff. May 22, 2003)

The Zoning Administrator, or Planning Commission, is hereby authorized to review, upon request, the terms or conditions imposed upon the granting of Conditional Use Permits when changed conditions occur or a new situation prevails or when the completion of final development plans evidences the need for such modification. However, any such requested modification which involves a significant increase in the size or nature of a proposed use, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, shall be referred to the Commission.

(Ord. 1156-03 C-M, eff. May 22, 2003)

The City’s right to revoke a development permit, as provided in this chapter, is cumulative to any other remedy allowed by law. (Ord. 1156-03 C-M, eff. May 22, 2003)
