Certificate of Occupancy and Revocation of Development Permit
(a) No building hereafter erected or structurally altered shall be used, occupied or changed in use until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the city, stating that the building or proposed use of a building or premises complies with this ordinance and the adopted building and related codes and the provisions of these regulations. A change in use shall be construed to mean any change in the occupancy of the building or premises. If provisions of this division are violated, the certificate of occupancy shall become null and void, and a new certificate shall be required for any further use of such building, structure or land.

(b) The city shall have the power to revoke any certificate, permit or development approval for the violation of any of these regulations or conditions imposed in the granting of a development permit. Revocation of a development permit requires:
 
(1) A public hearing where the planning and zoning commission shall determine the nature and extent of the violation of the development permit;
(2) Proper notice to the permittee;
(3) Written notice from the Chair which shall give the permittee the reasons for the proposed cancellation of the permit; and
(4) A finding by the Commission that reasonable corrective measures have not been done by the permittee and that revocation of the development permit is required.

(c) The zoning administrator shall have the right to order immediate compliance with any provision of this division or any condition of a development permit dealing with a direct health or safety issue. If immediate compliance is not obtained, the zoning administrator shall order immediate cessation of operation, cut off utility access, and refer the matter to the Commission for consideration of revocation of the permit.
