(A) Any violation of an ordinance that specifically designates the penalty as a misdemeanor shall be a Class 3 misdemeanor and any person convicted of the violation shall be subject to punishment in accordance with G.S. § 14-4. Unless a violation is specifically designated as a misdemeanor, the violation shall not constitute a misdemeanor or infraction punishable under G.S. § 14-4, but instead shall be subject to civil penalties and remedies in accordance with this Article and G.S. § 160A-175.
(B) This section shall not be deemed to be the exclusive penalty for violation of a city ordinance nor shall it in any way be deemed to limit any legal or equitable remedy or power the city may be empowered to use to enforce its ordinances.
(C) Each act that violates this ordinance and each day upon which a violation of this ordinance shall occur shall constitute a separate offense except as may be otherwise specifically provided.
