If the Defendant corrects the violation to the satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator/Designee on or before the court appearance date, no hearing shall be held.
If the Defendant fails to correct the violation to the satisfaction of the Zoning Administrator/Designee on or before the court appearance date, and fails to appear in Municipal Court on the date and time set, the Defendant has failed to exhaust administrative remedies. The Municipal Court may issue a written decision of default against the Defendant (thus, finding the person responsible), impose a civil penalty as set forth in this Ordinance and may include, if applicable, an order of abatement pursuant to Section 1.11.10. The Municipal Court shall mail a copy of the default decision and notice of the right to set aside the default decision to the Defendant. If a bond or civil penalty for non-appearance and admission of responsibility has been provided in the citation, the civil penalty will be that amount.
