Whenever the planning director or their designee shall have cause to suspect a violation of any provision of this chapter, or when necessary to investigate an application for or revocation of any zoning approval under any of the procedures prescribed in this chapter, officials responsible for enforcement or administration of this chapter, or their duly authorized representatives, may enter onto any site or into any structure for the purpose of investigation; provided, they shall do so in a reasonable manner. No secured building shall be entered without the consent of the owner or occupant unless a warrant authorizing entry and inspection for a zoning violation is first obtained from the court. A warrant shall not be issued unless good and sufficient grounds based upon reliable evidence is shown by the officials responsible for enforcement and administration of this chapter. (A secured building means a building having doors and windows capable of locking, fully enclosed, and occupied.) No owner or occupant or agent thereof shall, after reasonable notice and opportunity to comply, refuse to permit such entry. (Ord. 5094 §2 (Exh. B (part)), 2020; Ord. 4920 §2, 2010).
