A. The hearing to determine whether a nuisance exists shall be conducted by the hearing officer who shall consider relevant evidence including, but not limited to, applicable staff reports, objections or protests relative to the existence of such alleged public nuisance, and the manner proposed for abatement of same. Such hearing may be continued from time to time, provided, however, that the hearing shall be completed as expeditiously as circumstances permit.
B. Upon the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer shall, on the basis of the evidence presented at such hearing, determine whether the property, or any part thereof, or any condition thereon, as maintained, constitutes a public nuisance, as defined in this chapter. If the hearing officer finds that a public nuisance exists, he or she shall, by written notice, order the same abated in a reasonable period of time as set forth in the notice. The determination of the hearing officer shall be final unless appealed in the manner provided in this chapter.
