A. It is unlawful and a public nuisance for any responsible person to operate an alcoholic beverage sales establishment in a manner that creates an alcohol-related nuisance activity attributable to an alcoholic beverage sales establishment; fail to ensure property maintenance and operating conditions of the alcoholic beverage sales establishment are compatible with and do not adversely impact abutting properties and the surrounding neighborhood; or fail to take reasonable steps to abate alcohol-related nuisance activities attributable to an alcoholic beverage sales establishment.

B. Upon receiving a complaint from the public or any interested person of a violation of this section, the Petaluma police department may investigate the complaint to determine if an alcohol-related nuisance activity attributable to an alcoholic beverage sales establishment has occurred. If the police officer determines that such activity has occurred, the officer may issue a citation. A police officer may revisit the establishment in three to four weeks to determine if the alcohol-related nuisance activities attributable to an alcoholic beverage sales establishment have been abated.

C. If the police officer conducting the revisit finds that the nuisance activities that were the subject of a prior enforcement action under this chapter within the immediately preceding twelve months have not been abated, then all current remaining violations and future violations of this section by any responsible person at that establishment will be subject to the criminal, civil and/or administrative penalties set forth in this chapter in addition to recovery of response costs in accordance with Section 10.68.090, and any other applicable penalties under applicable law.
