except in conformity with the provisions of this subdivision. The applicable provisions for <br />establishing new uses or new structures in sections 117-183, 117-184, 117-185 will apply <br />depending upon whether the use or structure is in the floodway, flood fringe or general floodplain <br />district, respectively. <br />(Code 1978, § 9.22.11; Ord. No. 79-13, 10-29-1979; Ord. No. 86-2, 8-25-1986; Ord. No. 92-07, <br />7-13-1992) <br />Sec. 117-190. - Penalties for violation. <br />(a) Violation of the provisions of this subdivision or failure to comply with any of its requirements (including <br />violations of conditions and safeguards established in connection with grants of variances or <br />conditional uses) shall constitute a misdemeanor. <br />(b) Nothing herein contained shall prevent the city from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to <br />prevent or remedy any violation. Such actions may include but are not limited to: <br />(1) In responding to a suspected Code violation, the zoning administrator and local government may <br />utilize the full array of enforcement actions available to it including but not limited to prosecution <br />and fines, injunctions, after -the -fact permits, orders for corrective measures or a request to the <br />National Flood Insurance Program for denial of flood insurance availability to the guilty party. The <br />community must act in good faith to enforce these official controls and to correct Code violations <br />to the extent possible so as not to jeopardize its eligibility in the National Flood Insurance <br />Program. <br />(2) When a Code violation is either discovered by or brought to the attention of the zoning <br />administrator, the zoning administrator shall immediately investigate the situation and document <br />the nature and extent of the violation of the official control. As soon as is reasonably possible, this <br />information will be submitted to the appropriate department of natural resources and Federal <br />Emergency Management Agency regional office along with the community's plan of action to <br />correct the violation to the degree possible. <br />The zoning administrator shall notify the suspected party of the requirements of this subdivision <br />and all other official controls and the nature and extent of the suspected violation of these controls. <br />If the structure and/or use is under construction or development, the zoning administrator may <br />order the construction or development immediately halted until a proper permit or approval is <br />granted by the community. If the construction or development is already completed, then the <br />zoning administrator may either: <br />a. Issue an order identifying the corrective actions that must be made within a specified time <br />period to bring the use or structure into compliance with the official controls; or <br />b. Notify the responsible party to apply for an after -the -fact permit/development approval within <br />a specified period of time not to exceed 30 days. <br />(4) If the responsible party does not appropriately respond to the zoning administrator within the <br />specified period of time, each additional day that lapses shall constitute an additional violation of <br />this Code and shall be prosecuted accordingly. The zoning administrator shall also upon the lapse <br />of the specified response period notify the landowner to restore the land to the condition that <br />existed prior to the violation of this Code. <br />(3) <br />(Code 1978, § 9.22.12; Ord.
