In addition to any penalty prescribed for violation of this Code, any grading, clearing or other act done contrary to the provisions of this Division is unlawful and a public nuisance. Any grading or clearing done without a permit first having been obtained as required by this Division, regardless of whether such failure is due to neglect or refusal, shall be prima facie evidence that a public nuisance has been committed. A public nuisance may be abated in accordance with the Uniform Public Nuisance Abatement Procedure contained in Chapter 2, Division 6, Title 1 (commencing with Section 16.201) of this Code or, upon order of the Board of Supervisors, the County Counsel is authorized to commence necessary proceedings provided by law to abate, remove and/or enjoin such public nuisance.
