18.52.160 - Variances and permits—Revocation required—Hearing.¶
A. Upon recommendation by the director of community development, the commission shall conduct a noticed public hearing to determine whether such variance or conditional use permit should be revoked, unless the city council granted or modified such variance or conditional use permit upon the condition that it be subject only to city council revocation, in which case the commission may, but need not, make a recommendation concerning the revocation and the city council shall conduct the required public hearing. If the commission or city council finds any one of the following facts to be present, it shall immediately revoke or modify the variance or conditional use permit unless it concludes that some other action is appropriate to address the circumstances warranting revocation, in which case that action shall be immediately implemented or imposed:
The variance or permit was obtained by fraud; or
The use for which such approval was granted has ceased to exist by reason of a voluntary abandonment; or
The permit or variance granted is being or has been exercised contrary to any conditions of approval imposed upon such permit or variance, or in violation of any law; or
The use for which the approval was granted in being exercised so as to be detrimental to the public health or safety, or so as to constitute a public nuisance.
