(a) Temporary Suspension. In the event that any person holding a permit issued 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 City Engineer shall temporarily suspend the permit.
After a temporary suspension is received, each and every act of proceeding with any operation for which such permit was issued shall be considered a violation of this chapter, pending permanent revocation by the City Manager.
(b) Procedure for Permit Revocation. No permit shall be permanently revoked until a hearing is held by the City Manager or his or her designee. Written notice of such hearing shall be served on the developer, either personally or by registered mail, and shall state:
(1) The grounds for the complaint or reasons for the revocation, 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 or her behalf. Upon the conclusion of such hearing, the City Manager or his or designee shall determine whether or not the permit shall be revoked and shall issue, in writing, a notice of revocation. No part of any fee for such revoked permit shall be returned.
