(Ord. 2576, § 6, 6/27/2017)

(b) Section 11570 of the Health and Safety Code of California states that every building or place used for the purpose of unlawfully selling, serving, storing, keeping, manufacturing, or giving away controlled substances, precursor, or analog, as defined in Health and Safety Code sections 11000 and 11400 et sequitur, is a nuisance which shall be enjoined, abated and prevented and for which damages may be recovered. (Ord. 2576, § 6, 6/27/2017)
