This chapter provides a process for enforcing the requirements of the Banks Zoning Ordinance, Land Division Ordinance, Nuisance Ordinance, Dangerous Buildings Ordinance and all other ordinances, regulations, permits, licenses or approvals issued by the city pursuant to the city's permitting or regulatory authority. Where any city ordinance provides its own or a different enforcement procedure or remedy, those procedures and remedies shall be in addition to those provided in this chapter. The civil process set forth in this chapter is designed to provide prompt notice to property owners and other interested parties that appear to be in violation of the city's legal requirements and regulations and to guarantee those accused of an infraction the right to an evidentiary hearing on the alleged infraction. The process is designed to provide a measure of certainty to the citizens of Banks that violations will be addressed promptly and decisively and to ensure that the due process rights of those accused of infractions are protected. This chapter shall not apply to criminal matters and shall not result in the imposition of criminal sanctions. Unless indicated otherwise the Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure shall be applicable and may be used in any civil enforcement action under this chapter.
