A. The site plan permit may be suspended by the land use administrator upon violation of any applicable provision of BMC Title 15, 16, 17 or 18, or a condition, provision or requirement of the permit. Suspension shall take effect upon written notification to the owner or the owner’s authorized agent. The land use administrator may post a notice of the suspension on the posted site plan permit or at some other place where the notice can be seen from the nearest public right-of-way; provided, the failure to post the notice of suspension does not affect the validity or effectiveness of the written notification provided to the owner or the owner’s agents personally, by mail, or by facsimile.

B. Upon the issuance and posting of the suspension or receipt of the notice of suspension by the owner or other person to whom directed, no construction or other activity covered by the permit may occur except as provided in subsection D of this section.

C. The applicant may appeal the decision to suspend the site plan permit to the planning commission under the procedures in Chapter 18.75 BMC.

D. Suspension of the site plan permit shall remain in effect during the appeals process; provided, with the written approval of the land use administrator, the appellant may make such changes or improvements as are specifically approved by the land use administrator that are necessary to protect the land or improvement or other property. A person shall not make any other improvements or changes in the use while a suspension is in effect. [Ord. 10-15 § 3.]
