     If the director or board determines, based on inspection by county staff, that there are reasonable grounds for revocation of a development permit authorized by this title, he or she shall set a hearing before the original hearing body, or if the decision was made by the director, to the body to which appeal may be taken under this title.  If the board was the original hearing body, it may refer the proposed revocation to the planning commission for its report and recommendation prior to such hearing. (Ord. 763, 1996)    

     20.32.020 Notice and public hearing.
     Notice shall be given in the same manner provided in chapter 20.20.  The public hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures established in chapter 20.24. (Ord. 763, 1996)    

     20.32.030 Required findings.
     The hearing body shall revoke the development permit upon making one or more of the following findings:
     A. That the development permit was issued on the basis of erroneous or misleading information or misrepresentation by the applicant;
     B. That the terms or conditions of approval of the permit relating to establishment or operation of the use approved have either been violated or not met, or that other laws or regulations of the county, state, federal or regional agencies applicable to the development have been violated. (Ord. 763, 1996)    

     20.32.040 Decision and notice.
     Within ten working days from the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing body shall render a decision, and shall notify the holder of the permit any other person who has filed a written request for the notice in the manner provided in chapter 20.20. (Ord. 763, 1996)    

     20.32.050 Effect; appeals.
     A decision to revoke a development permit shall become final ten days after the date of notice of the decision was given, unless appealed.  After the effective date, all activities pursuant to the permit are deemed in violation of this title.  Appeal of the decision to revoke the permit shall be to the board and shall conform to the procedures established in chapter 20.28.  There shall be no further appeal where the board has revoked a development permit.  Whenever any application for a development permit is revoked, an application for a development permit for all or a part of the same property must not be considered for a period of one year from the date of revocation unless the subsequent application involves a proposal that is materially different from the previously revoked proposal.
