Any person ordered to abate a nuisance or condition may have a hearing as to whether a nuisance or prohibited condition exists. A request for a hearing must be made in writing and delivered to the Code Enforcement Division within the time stated in the notice, or it will be conclusively presumed that a nuisance or prohibited condition exists and it must be abated as ordered.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the Director of Development Services shall render a written decision as to whether a nuisance or prohibited condition exists. If the Director of Development Services finds that a nuisance or prohibited condition exists, he or she must order it abated within a time reasonable under the circumstances. An appeal from this decision may be had by immediately filing a written notice with the City Clerk. This appeal will be heard before the City Council at a time and place fixed by the Council. The findings of the Council shall be conclusive and, if a nuisance or prohibited condition is found to exist, it shall be ordered abated within a time reasonable under the circumstances.
