[Amended 10-22-2007 by Ord. No. 10-2007]
A. 
Misdemeanors. Violations of this chapter or failure to comply with any of its requirements, including violations of any conditions and safeguards established in connection with the granting of variances, site plan approvals or establishment of planned development districts, shall constitute a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $250 or a maximum five-day imprisonment, or both. Each day a violation is continued shall be deemed a separate offense.
B. 
Civil penalties. Any act constituting a violation of this chapter, including violations of any conditions or safeguards established in connection with the granting of variances, site plan approvals or establishment of planned development districts, shall also subject the offender to a civil penalty of $100 per day for each day that the violation shall continue from the date of remedy as set forth in the notice of violation. The Code Enforcement Officer or the Director of Planning and Development, as the case may be, shall cause to be served a notice of violation which notice shall provide for a date of remedy of said violation. In the event the violation is not remedied as directed, the civil penalty shall be imposed. If the offender fails to pay this penalty within 10 days after failing to remedy the cited violation, the penalty may be recovered by the City in a civil action in the nature of debt. A civil penalty may only be appealed to the Zoning Board of Appeals if the offender was sent a notice of violation and filed an appeal to the Zoning Board of Appeals within 30 days of its receipt. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall have no power to alter or modify the amount of the penalty. Review by the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be limited to the question of whether or not there is/was a violation of this chapter.
C. 
Each day that any violation continues after notification that such violation exists shall be considered a separate offense for purposes of the misdemeanor or civil penalties.
D. 
Injunction. In addition to the above-provided penalties and remedies, the City Council shall reserve the right of the City to take action in a court of competent jurisdiction in the name of the City to compel compliance with or to restrain by injunction the violation of this chapter.
E. 
Any one, all or any combination of the preceding penalties and remedies may be used to enforce this chapter.
