Two or more violations of a permit condition, city code, or state or federal law within any 12-month period trigger a six-month suspension; three or more violations in 12 months, or any violation within six months of a suspended permit being reinstated, trigger revocation. The administrative services director investigates and issues written notice, and the owner may request a hearing before a hearing officer, with the city manager rendering the final suspension or revocation decision.
