(1) Nothing in this chapter is intended to prevent a landowner and the County from entering into a voluntary compliance agreement in accordance with Chapter 20.12 CCC. Should such a voluntary compliance agreement be entered into by the parties the County will not establish a hearing date before the Hearing Examiner except as provided in subsection (2) of this section.

(2) However, if a voluntary compliance agreement is not completed to the satisfaction of Community Development by the agreed-upon deadline or any extension of that deadline mutually agreed upon by DCD and the landowner, then the County may either issue a stop work order pursuant to Chapter 20.24 CCC or may establish a hearing date before the Hearing Examiner pursuant to this chapter.
