It is the intent of the city council in enacting this chapter to ensure compliance with this code and to deter violations of this code. The city council also finds that there is a need for an alternative method to enforce provisions of this code, as amended from time to time. The council further finds that the assessment of civil fines and penalties through an administrative hearing procedure for code violations in accordance with Government Code section 53069.4 is a necessary, alternative method of code enforcement.
