Personal (non-commercial) fines will be a civil penalty of $100 for each violation.

A commercial violation is subject to a civil penalty of $1,000 for a first violation, $5,000 for a second violation, and $10,000 for each additional violation by the same responsible party.

Passing this enforcement ordinance will align us with neighboring jurisdictions. Marin, Mendocino, and Napa counties, as well as other Bay Area jurisdictions, have similar measures.
