Notwithstanding any other provision in this chapter, when any unlawful cannabis cultivation constitutes an immediate threat to the public health or safety, and where the procedures set forth in § 12-04.18 would not result in abatement of that nuisance within a short enough time period to avoid that threat, the Enforcing Officer may direct any officer or employee of the County to summarily abate the nuisance. The Enforcing Officer shall make reasonable efforts to notify the persons identified in § 12-04.18(A)(3) but the formal notice and hearing procedures set forth in this chapter shall not apply. The County may recover its costs for abating that nuisance in the manner set forth in this chapter. (§ 2, Ord. 1557, eff. January 21, 2023)
