If the director determines at any time that any of the provisions of this chapter or any applicable statutes, quarantine orders, rules or regulations relating to a health permit are not being complied with in the county, he may suspend or revoke such permit. Prior to such suspension or revocation, the director shall issue and serve upon the permittee a notice stating that such suspension or revocation is under consideration, setting forth in clear and concise language the acts and omissions with which the permittee is charged, and specifying the provisions violated. Such notice shall further notify the permittee that he has a right to request in writing a hearing before the director in order to show cause why the permit should not be suspended or revoked. Such notice shall further notify the permittee that such request must be served upon the director within 15 days after service of the notice upon the permittee and that failure to serve such request within the 15 days is deemed a waiver of the right to such hearing.
B. 
If the permittee serves such a request for a hearing within the 15 day period, the director shall thereupon set the date for the hearing and serve the permittee with at least five days' notice of the time and place of the hearing. The director may, when he deems it necessary, continue any hearing by setting a new time and serving notice upon the permittee of the time and place of the continued hearing.
C. 
At the close of the hearing, or at any time within 10 days thereafter, the director shall order, in writing, such disposition of the matter as he deems proper and shall serve a copy of such order upon the permittee.

If the director determines that a violation of a provision of this chapter or of any applicable statute, quarantine order, rule or regulation relating to a health permit presents such a serious threat to the public health or safety that the permit should be suspended immediately, he may summarily suspend such permit pending a disposition of the matter pursuant to Section 8.16.140 of this chapter; provided, however, that such summary suspension shall not in any event be for a period in excess of 20 days. The summary suspension shall be effected by service upon the permittee of notice thereof, together with the notice described in the subsection A of Section 8.16.140.
(Ord. 6 § 6 (part), 1983)

If the applicant for a health permit under this chapter shows to the satisfaction of the director that because a business or occupation or other activity is of a seasonal nature, or because of statutory or ordinance regulations, or because of termination or loss of lease, or because of acquisition by the public of the premises on which the occupation or business or other activity is situated, or because of other reasons beyond the control of the permittee, such business, occupation or activity can only be carried on for a limited period of time, not more than three-quarters (3/4) of a year, the permit fee shall be the following fractions of the annual fee otherwise prescribed:
