longer rented at the agreed upon level of affordability, the 257

agreed upon level of affordability, and any remedy that was 259
taken to address the noncompliance. 260
2. Review of Annual Report: The Director of Community and Neighborhoods shall 261
review the report to determine if the report is complete. 262
3. Within 30 days of receipt of a complete report, the Director of Community and 263

291

21A.20. The city shall have the additional remedies for violations as set forth below. 294
1. Lien on Property. If the property owner fails to make payment of the outstanding 295
fines, then after 90 days or when fines reach $5,000, the division will issue a 296
statement of outstanding fines. If the property owner fails to make payment within 297
14 days, then the division may certify the fines set forth in the statement to the Salt 298
Lake County Treasurer. After entry by the Salt Lake County Treasurer, the amount 299
entered shall have the force and effect of a valid judgment of the district court, is a 300
lien on the property, and shall be collected by the treasurer of the county in which 301
the property is located at the time of the payment of general taxes. Upon payment 302
of the amount set forth in the statement, the judgment is satisfied, the lien is 303
released from the property, and receipt shall be acknowledged upon the general tax 304
receipt issued by the treasurer. 305
2. Revocation of Business License. Upon a determination of the division that the 306
property is in violation of this Chapter the city may suspend or revoke the business 307
license associated with the property. Any suspension or revocation of a license 308
shall not be imposed until a hearing is first held before the Director of Community 309
and Neighborhoods or his/her successor. The licensee shall be given at least 14 310
days’ notice of the time and place of the hearing, together with the nature of the 311
charges against the licensee. The licensee may appear in person or through an 312
officer, agent or attorney, to introduce evidence on the licensee’s behalf, and to 313
confront and cross-examine witnesses. The Director of Community and 314
Neighborhoods shall make a decision based upon the evidence introduced at the 315
hearing and issue a written decision. The licensee may appeal to an appeals 316
hearing officer and thereafter to district court pursuant to 21A.16. If the license is 317
revoked or suspended it shall thereafter be unlawful for any person to engage in or 318
use, or permit to be used any property for any business with respect to which the 319
license has been suspended or revoked until a license shall be granted upon appeal 320
or due to the property’s compliance with this Chapter. No person whose license 321
has been revoked, and no person associated or connected with such person in the 322
conduct of such business, shall be granted a license for the same purpose for a 323
period of six months after the revocation has occurred. The Director may, for good 324
cause, waive the prohibition against persons formerly associated or connected with 325
an individual who has had a license revoked. 326
327

the authorized incentives: 329

acknowledge the use of the incentives, the nature of the approval and 337
any conditions thereof, the affordability requirements, the terms of 338
compliance with all applicable regulations, shall guarantee compliance 339
for a term of 30 years, and the potential enforcement actions for any 340
