* Editor’s Note: Ordinance No. 4931 repealed and replaced Chapter 5.32 in its entirety. Section 2 of Ordinance No. 4939 amended the previous version of Section 5.32.060(A) to update the name of the development services director. Since the director is no longer referred to in Section 5.32.060(A), the amendment has not been included.
