All remedies under this chapter are cumulative.

(b)

Violation of any of the provisions of this chapter may be remedied by injunction or other civil proceeding commenced in the name of the City pursuant to direction by the City Council.

Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of an infraction or misdemeanor subject to all the provisions of Chapter 2 of Title 1 of the City of Simi Valley Municipal Code. Each such person shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every day or portion thereof during which any violation of any of the provisions of this chapter is committed, continued, or allowed and upon conviction of such violation such person shall be punishable by a fine or imprisonment or both as provided by law and Chapter 2 of Title 1 of the City of Simi Valley Municipal Code. The issuance of a permit or the approval of plans and specifications shall not be construed to authorize any violation of the provisions of this chapter or any codes hereby adopted by reference, or applicable state or federal law. The issuance or granting of a permit or approval of plan and specification shall not prevent the Floodplain Administrator from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in said plans and specifications or from suspending construction operations when such plans, specification or construction are in violation of this chapter or any codes hereby adopted by reference, or other applicable state or federal law.
