131 soliciting contracts with the public. IMPACT: Article 23 VIQLAT1ONS, PENALTIES AND REMEDIES of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance provides that "whenever . . . the performance of any act is rohibited or whenever any regulation, dimension or limitation is imposed on the use of any land, or on the erection or alteration or the use or change of use of a structure, or the uses within such structure, a failure to comply with such provisions of this ordinance shall constitute a separate violation and a separate offense." The Ordinance further provides for remedies exercised by the Zoning Officer to address the violations.. The administrative procedures followed in determining if a violation has occurred are as follows: 1. receipt of complaint or identification of violation by staff; 2. investigation of violation by Zoning Officer, including preparation of violation file and photographs, where feasible; 3 . notification of property owner of potential violation, including citation of ordinance and request-to discuss. matter with Zoning Officer (sometimes consecutive with issuance of STOP WORK ORDER) ; 4. second notice of violation; 5. if property owner brings violation into compliance, file is closed; if violation continues, advice of County Attor- ney is sought. Administrative procedures for this violation have been ex- hausted. CCB has continued its contract with Edkins and Edkins has continued to operate in disregard of the Zoning Ordinance in operating the gymnastic center. - Authorizing the County Attorney to pursue legal action would substantially remedy the violation and would clearly put those in violation on notice of the intent of the County to pursue remedies to correct zoning violations.. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the County Attorney to pursue legal action.
