(a) Temporary Suspension. In the event any person holding a permit pursuant to this chapter violates the terms of the permit, or conducts site development in such a manner as to adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of persons residing or working in the neighborhood of the project area, or property, or whenever any false statement or misrepresentation has been made upon the application, plans, or specifications on which the issuance of the permit or approval was based, the Director shall temporarily suspend the permit.
(b) Procedure for Revoking the Permit. No Permit shall be permanently revoked or suspended until a hearing is held by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee. Written notice of such hearing shall be served on the property owner or agent either personally or by registered mail, and shall state:
(1) The grounds for complaint or reasons for the revocation or suspension, in clear and concise language; and
(2) The time when, and the place where such public hearing is to be held. At any such hearing, the permit holder shall be given an opportunity to be heard, and may call witnesses and present evidence on his behalf. On conclusions of such hearing, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee shall determine whether or not the permit shall be suspended or revoked and shall issue, in writing, a notice of revocation. No part of any fee for such revoked permit shall be returned;
(c) After a temporary suspension is received, each and any act of proceeding with any operation for which such permit was issued shall be considered a violation of this section pending permanent revocation by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee.
