(Ord. 1228 §2(Ch. 51(part)), 1983)

In addition to any other remedy provided by law or this Code, whenever the director of planning determines that any use of land or other activity is occurring or has occurred in violation of the provisions of this title, or without compliance with the conditions of permit issued under this title, the director may issue a stop order directing that the violation cease immediately. The stop order shall state the nature of the violation and that it is deemed to be a nuisance and shall contain references to applicable provisions of this title or conditions of approval upon which the director based his determination. The stop order shall include a statement of any corrective action or restoration work the director deems necessary to abate the condition. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this title for any person to resume any use or activity that were ordered to be stopped by the director, unless the director has first required and the person has agreed to any necessary corrective measures, and the director has authorized resumption of the use or activity. The person to whom a stop order is issued may appeal the issuance of the order to the planning commission within thirty days of issuance of the order, but the filing of such appeal shall not permit the resumption of the use or activity that was ordered to be stopped by the director of planning. The planning commission may affirm, modify, or set aside, in whole or in part, by its own order, any stop order of the director. Appeal from any action of the planning commission hereunder may be made in writing to the board of supervisors within ten days of such action. The board may affirm, modify, or set aside, in whole or in part, any action of the planning commission hereunder.
