(C) Enforcement. Violation of the provisions of this chapter constitutes a misdemeanor and is punishable as defined by law. The Zoning Administrator may utilize the full array of enforcement actions available to it including, but not limited to, prosecution and fines, injunctions, orders for corrective measures or a request to the National Flood Insurance Program for denial of flood insurance.
