17.02.140 Enforcement

1. Any City Staff designated and authorized by the City are responsible for the enforcement of this Ordinance. Failure of the City Staff to enforce any provision or seek remedies to a violation of this Ordinance shall not legalize any such violation. 2. In addition to any criminal prosecution, the city may pursue any other legal remedy to ensure compliance with this chapter. Such actions may include, but are not limited to: a. Injunctions, mandamus, abatement, or any other appropriate action; b. Proceedings to prevent, enjoin, abate, or remove the unlawful use, building, or act; c. The withholding of permits or approvals. 3. Administrative Actions. a. Permit Issuance. The department shall not issue any permit unless the plans for the proposed erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration or use fully conform to all provisions of this title, including the payment of required fees. No officer of the city shall grant any permit or license for the use of any building, structure or land when such land is part of a subdivision which has not been approved and recorded in the county recorder's office. Any license or permit issued in conflict with this title shall be null and void. b. Special Developments. In cases where the city has approved a special development (e.g. PRUD, Cluster Development, Business Park, or other planned development) with specific design criteria or special development requirements, the city may take action to enforce such design criteria or special development requirements. If the city determines, in its discretion, that: (i) a special development is not proceeding according to the plans approved by the city or according to the language of the documents approved with the special development: or (ii) a proposed building is not consistent with said plans or documents, the city may take any or all of the following actions: i. Withhold approval of the building permit until either; A. The architectural review committee of the special development certifies that the proposed building meets the design criteria or special development requirements of the project; or B. The city determines that the proposed building meets the design criteria or special development requirements of the project. ii. Require the applicant or developer to submit specific plans, specifications, and details of construction sufficient to allow the city to analyze compliance with the approved design criteria and special development requirements of the project.
