(1) The Director is authorized to develop and adopt administrative rules and procedures for the purposes of implementing and enforcing the provisions of this chapter.

(a) If clearing and grading, inconsistent with the purposes and requirements of this chapter, has occurred on a site, the City shall not accept or grant any development permits or approvals for the site unless the applicant adequately restores the site.

(2) The Director may impose conditions on permit approval as needed to mitigate identified project impacts and shall deny permit applications that are inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter.

(3) As a condition of any permit issued for activity covered by this chapter, the property owner shall be required to consent to entry upon the land by the Director or his/her designee at all reasonable times to inspect the same or to perform any duty imposed upon the Director by this chapter. If the land is occupied, the Director shall first present proper credentials and request entry. If the land is unoccupied, a reasonable effort shall be made to locate the owner or other persons at the site who are in apparent charge or control of the land and demand entry. If no person is located, the Director may enter said property and shall, with due diligence, make attempts to notify the owner, occupant, or other person having charge within a reasonable amount of time of the entry.

(4) Where the Director has reasonable grounds to believe that activities for which a permit is required by this chapter are being conducted without a permit on land within the City, the Director or his/her designee may seek to inspect the land and such activity. If the land is occupied, the Director shall first present proper credentials and request entry for inspection. If the land is unoccupied, a reasonable effort shall be made to locate the owner or other persons at the site who are in apparent charge or control of the land and request entry for inspection. If no person is located, or if entry is refused, the Director may request the assistance of the City Attorney, City Prosecutor, or Police Department regarding access. (Ord. 04-19 § 2 (Exh.
