   A.   Permit Revocation. A permit may be revoked or modified by the review authority that originally approved the permit if any of the following findings is made:

      2.   The use authorized by the permit, or the use of an improvement authorized in conjunction with the permit, has ceased or been suspended for one year;
      3.   One or more of the conditions of the permit has not been met or has been violated;
      4.   A use authorized by the permit, or an improvement authorized in conjunction with the permit, is in, or has been used, operated or maintained in, violation of any state or federal law or regulation, this code, or any city ordinance, resolution or regulation;
      5.   The improvement, use, or exercise of any right or privilege allowed by the permit is detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the city, or constitutes a nuisance;
      6.   One or more conditions of approval of the permit, including but not limited to measures imposed on the permit to mitigate environmental or other impacts, has been violated; or
      7.   In the case of a variance, circumstances have changed so that one or more of the findings required by Chapter 19.26 (Variances) for the approval of a variance can no longer be made, and the grantee has not substantially exercised the rights granted by the variance.
   B.   Structure Removal. If a permit is revoked, the review authority may order the removal of any structure, improvement or portion thereof installed, constructed or occupied pursuant to the revoked permit or any entitlement granted to implement that permit.
