ORDINANCE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING BOARD 11 <br />23.4.5 Continuing Violations <br />The Zoning Officer may issue a Civil Penalty Citation for a violation that continues without <br />being corrected. The violator in such cases may be assessed a penalty for each day of <br />the continuing violation. An initial Civil Penalty Citation for a single violation must be <br />issued before a Civil Penalty Citation for a continuing violation is issued. If the violator <br />has failed to pay the penalty and correct the violation after the initial Civil Penalty Citation, <br />the violator is subject to a Civil Penalty Citation for a continuing violation with a daily <br />penalty. An initial Civil Penalty Citation is not required if the Department has previously <br />issued a Civil Penalty Citation to the violator for the same violation at the same location <br />within the previous two (2) years, or if the violator has been specifically warned <br />concerning the violation. <br />The Zoning Officer may give a single notice of a Civil Penalty Citation for a continuing <br />violation. The notice must contain a copy of the notice of violation and must state that the <br />violation is continuing, that a daily penalty of a specified amount is being imposed, and <br />that the penalty is cumulative. <br />GACurrent Planning Div\Tking \Feb 24 PH \Ordinance as Recommended by Planning Board <br />
