Violations & Fines
The ordinance itself warns that violating "any of these requirements[] may result in a revocation of the business license" (NLVMC 17.20.030.F.16). Because the underlying use is also a zoning accessory use, noncompliance is separately enforceable as a misdemeanor under NLVMC 17.28.200, with a written correction order from the Director, appeal rights to the Planning Commission, and fines up to $1,000 plus six months in jail for uncorrected violations.
