(1) The director shall have the authority to administer this title and is authorized to adopt procedures, rules or guidelines for that purpose. The director may seek assistance from City departments, other public agencies or private contractors to resolve code violations.

(2) No provision or any term used in this title is intended to impose any duty upon the City, nor any of its officers, employees or agents, which would subject them to damages in a civil action.

(3) The provisions of this title detailing administration of code compliance procedures are not to be construed as creating a substantive basis for appeal or a defense of any kind to an alleged violation.

(4) The provisions of this title authorizing the enforcement of noncodified ordinances are intended to assure compliance with conditions of approval on plats, conditional use or special use permits, zone reclassifications and other similar permits or approvals which may have been granted by ordinances which have not been codified, and to enforce new regulatory ordinances which are not yet codified.

(5) The director may modify or revoke any action under this title taken by the City if the City action was incomplete or issued in error, or in response to new information or a change in circumstances.

(6) In the event of a conflict between a provision of this title and any other provision of the SMC or City ordinance, the more restrictive provision shall apply as determined by the director. (Ord. O2011-302 §2 (Att. A))
