The Planning Commission may permit a particular use in a zone provided the use is of the same general type as the uses permitted thereby in this chapter. However, this section does not authorize the inclusion in a zone where it is not of a use specifically listed in another zone or which is of the same general type and is similar to a use specifically listed in another zone.

If a building or other structure is or is proposed to be located, constructed, maintained, altered, or used, or land is or is proposed to be used in violation of this chapter, the building or land thus is in violation and shall constitute a nuisance and the city, may as an alternative to other remedies that are legally available for enforcing this chapter, institute injunction, abatement, or other appropriate proceedings to prevent, enjoin, temporarily or permanently abate or remove the unlawful location, construction, maintenance, repair, alteration, or use.

Any person violating any provisions of this chapter for which no specific penalty is prescribed shall be subject to § 10.99.
(Ord. 337, passed 6-11-1979)
Editor’s note:
See the general penalty provisions of § 10.99 adopted by Ordinance 498, passed 12-12-2005. This specified a penalty of $500 per day for violation of any city ordinance, in addition to state and county court assessments, but allowed the Municipal Judge to promulgate an alternate bail schedule for certain offenses at his or her discretion. Ordinance 498 did not specifically repeal the penalty language in any ordinance, but presumably did replace it.
