An administrative official designated by the City Council shall administer and enforce these zoning regulations. The administrative official may be provided with the assistance of such other persons as the City Council may direct. If the administrative official shall find that any of the provisions of these zoning regulations are being violated, the official shall notify in writing the person responsible for such violation, indicating the nature of the violation and ordering the action necessary to correct it. The administrative official shall order discontinuance of any illegal use of land, buildings, or structures; removal of illegal buildings or structures or of additions, alterations or structural changes thereto; discontinuance of any illegal work being done; or shall take any other action authorized by these zoning regulations to ensure compliance with or to prevent violation of its provisions.
1. Administrative Official and Board of Adjustment. It is the intent of these zoning regulations that all questions of interpretation and enforcement shall be first presented to the administrative official, and that such questions shall be presented to the Board of Adjustment only on appeal from the decision of the administrative official, and that recourse from the decisions of the Board of Adjustment shall be to the courts as provided by law and particularly by statute.
2. City Council. It is further the intent of these zoning regulations that the duties of the City Council in connection with these zoning regulations shall not include hearing and deciding questions of interpretation and enforcement that may arise. The procedure for deciding such questions shall be as stated in this section and these zoning regulations. Under these zoning regulations, the City Council shall have only the duties of: (i) considering and adopting or rejecting proposed amendments or the repeal of these zoning regulations, as provided by law; and (ii) considering applications for special permits for exceptions to prohibited uses as specified in Section 165.19 of these zoning regulations.
