§ 8114-3.7.1. Notice of impending civil penalties.

Once a violation is confirmed, a Notice of Impending Civil Penalties shall be served upon the violator separately, or as part of the Notice of Violation. The Notice of Impending Civil Penalties shall: (1) state the violation(s); (2) state a range of the amount of the impending daily civil penalty per violation; (3) state the date by which the violation must be corrected, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of service of the notice; and (4) advise that the civil penalties will begin accruing on a daily basis if the violation is not corrected by the date established in the notice. If the Planning Director determines that a violation creates an immediate danger to health or safety, penalties may be imposed after a period of time that is less than thirty (30) days.

The date upon which the daily penalty will begin to accrue may be extended by the Planning Director upon a showing that the time frame allotted in the Notice of Impending Civil Penalties is not a reasonable period of time to correct the violation.
