§ 18-373. Method of suspension or revocation of permit.

(a)

The director may suspend or revoke a grading and erosion control permit by issuing a notice of suspension or revocation, stating the reasons therefor, and serving the notice upon the permittee. Upon suspension or revocation of a permit, in accordance with this section, the permittee shall immediately cause all grading, filling, excavating, storing, disposing or clearing and grubbing to cease until written authorization is received from the director to proceed with the activity.

(b)

The permittee shall have 15 calendar days after the date of service of the suspension or revocation in which to file an appeal in accordance with section 18-374. If such an appeal is filed, the suspension or revocation shall remain in force and be effective until a final decision on the appeal is issued by the city council.

(c)

If the director suspends a permit, such permit may either be reinstated or revoked by the director, depending upon whether the permittee corrects the grounds stated for the suspension in the notice issued by the director. If the permittee fails to remedy the grounds for suspension within a time period specified by the director, but in no event later than 60 calendar days, the director shall revoke the permit.
