(A) Any permit issued under this chapter may be revoked as follows:
(1) The Zoning Administrator shall have the right to revoke any permit issued hereunder for a violation of this chapter. Any of the grounds upon which the Zoning Administrator may refuse to issue an initial permit shall also constitute grounds for such revocation. In addition, the failure of the permittee, operator or property owner to comply with the provisions of this chapter or other provisions of this code or other applicable law, including, without limitation, the state donation collection laws, shall also constitute grounds for revocation of the permit. The Zoning Administrator shall provide a written notification to the permittee, operator and property owner stating the specific grounds for a revocation and a demand for correction and abatement. The notice shall allow a maximum of 15 calendar days from mailing of the notice to correct or abate the violation. The Zoning Administrator may, in its sole discretion, allow additional time to correct or abate the violation. Upon failure to make the correction or abatement within the required time, the permit shall be revoked by the Zoning Administrator and, thereafter, the permittee, operator and property owner shall not be eligible for a permit on the property for the subsequent calendar year.
(2) A permit for a collection container may also be revoked if any governmental authority or agency determines that the collection container has violated the California Consumer Protection Act and/or the Charitable Organizations and Solicitations Act.
(B) Upon revocation, the collection container shall be removed from the real property within 15 calendar days and, if not so removed within the time period, the city may remove, store or dispose of the collection container at the expense of the permittee, operator and/or real property owner. All costs associated with the removal of the collection container incurred by the city, or the city's contractor, shall be the responsibility of the permittee, operator and/or property owner. If such obligation is not paid within 30 calendar days after mailing of a billing of costs to the permittee, operator or property owner, the city may place a lien upon such real property enforceable as a tax lien in the manner prescribed by the general laws of this state against the property and collected as in the case of general property tax. If the same is not paid prior to the preparation of the next assessment roll of the city, the amount shall be assessed as a special tax against such premises on the next assessment roll and collected thereunder.
