A. No provision of this chapter authorizes a criminal prosecution, arrest or penalty inconsistent with or prohibited by California Health and Safety Code Section 11362.71, et seq. or 11362.1, et seq., as the same may be amended from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the penalties enumerated under Section 1.08.010 and any penalties set forth in state law, the maximum penalties allowable under state law shall govern.

B. A court of competent jurisdiction may award reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party in any nuisance abatement action brought to enforce this chapter if, at the initiation of the proceeding, the city elects to seek recovery of its own attorneys’ fees. (Ord. 706 § 3 (Exh. A), 2019).
