Any violation of the provisions of this title shall be subject to the enforcement remedies and penalties provided by this chapter and by Utah law, including any of the following:
A. Withhold Permits: The city may deny or withhold any permit, certificate, or other form of authorization pertaining to any land or improvements when an uncorrected violation exists on such land pursuant to this title or to a condition or qualification of a permit, certificate, approval or other authorization previously granted by the city council, planning commission, appeal authority, or other city officer. The city may, instead of withholding or denying an authorization, grant such authorization subject to the condition that the violation be corrected. The provisions of this subsection shall apply regardless of whether the original applicant or current owner is responsible for the violation in question.
B. Revoke Permits: A permit issued under the authority of this title may be revoked when the community development director determines that actions taken thereunder do not conform to plans, specifications, or conditions of the permit; that the same was procured by false representation or was issued by mistake; or that any provision of this title is being violated.
1. Written notice of such revocation shall be served upon the owner, the owner's agent or contractor, or upon any person employed at the site of the building or structure for which such permit was issued, or shall be posted in a prominent location, and thereafter no such construction shall proceed.
2. When plans are in conflict with an ordinance, resolution, regulation, or other applicable requirement, and when construction has not progressed to a stage where modification of the plans would require substantial alteration of the structures in place, the plans shall be modified to conform with applicable requirements.
3. When a mistake has been made calculating the fee for any permit, the proper fee shall be charged and thereafter paid by the applicant.
C. Stop Work: In accordance with its power to stop work under the building code, the city may stop work, with or without revoking permits, on any building or structure on any land on which exists an uncorrected violation of a provision of this title or permit or other form of authorization issued hereunder.
D. Revoke Plan Or Other Approvals: Where a violation of this title involves failure to comply with approved plans or a condition upon which plan approval was subject, the city may, after notice to the applicant and other known parties in interest (including any holders of building permits affected) and after a hearing as provided in subsection 13.94.070C of this chapter:
1. Revoke the plan or other approval, or
2. Condition its continuance on strict compliance, the provision of security, or such other conditions as the city may reasonably impose.
E. Remove Signs: When a sign is illegally located within a public right of way, on any city owned property, or in the case of an emergency or an identified hazard, the community development director may, without notice, cause the immediate removal of such sign.
F. Injunctive Relief: The city may seek an injunction or other equitable relief in the district court to stop any violation of this title, or a permit, certificate, or other form of authorization granted hereunder. The city need only to establish a violation of this title to obtain an injunction.
G. Abatement: The city may seek a court order from the district court in the nature of mandamus, abatement, or other action or proceeding to abate or remove a violation or to otherwise restore the premises in question to the condition which existed prior to the violation.
H. Penalty: Each day that any violation continues after notification by the community development director that such violation exists shall be considered a separate offense for purposes of penalties and remedies set forth in this title. Violation of any of the provisions of this title shall upon conviction be punishable as a class C misdemeanor. Accumulation of penalties for continuing violations, but not the obligation for payment of penalties already accrued, shall stop upon correction of the violation.
I. Other Remedies: The city shall have such other remedies as are and as may be from time to time provided by Utah law or city ordinance for the violation of any provision of this title.
J. Remedies Cumulative: These remedies shall be cumulative. Any one, all, or any combination of the penalties and remedies set forth in this chapter may be used to enforce the provisions of this title. (Ord. 2012-15, 9-20-2012)
