A. Any person ordered to abate a nuisance may have a hearing with the enforcement officer ordering the abatement to determine whether a nuisance does exist. A request for a hearing must be made in writing and delivered to the enforcement officer ordering the abatement within the time stated in the notice, or it will be conclusively presumed that a nuisance exists that must be abated as ordered. The enforcement officer may state the time and place of the hearing in a demand to show cause in the notice and order to abate nuisance.

B. At the conclusion of the hearing, the enforcement officer shall render a written decision as to whether a nuisance exists. If the enforcement officer finds that a nuisance exists, the enforcement officer must order it abated within an additional time which must be reasonable under the circumstances. The written decision shall include notice that appeal from the enforcement officer’s decision may be had to the city council by filing a written notice of appeal with the enforcement officer within ten (10) days as provided by Section 8.08.130.
