The City Planner or designee is authorized to make inspections of properties and structures in order to examine and survey the property for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Zoning Code. Prior to seeking entry to any property or structure for such examination or survey, the City Planner or designee shall attempt to obtain the permission of the owner or occupant to inspect. If such permission is denied or cannot be obtained, the City Planner or designee shall request the assistance of the City Police Department when the matter is an immediate hazard to life safety. Nothing in this section limits the ability of the City Planner or designee to work with the Law Director to secure a valid search warrant prior to entry.
