Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, when any unlawful marijuana cultivation constitutes an immediate threat to public health or safety, and when the procedures set forth in SCC 8.01.050 through 8.01.080 would not result in abatement of that nuisance within a short enough time period to avoid that threat, the enforcing officer may direct any officer or employee of the county to summarily abate the nuisance. The enforcing officer shall make reasonable efforts to notify the persons identified in SCC 8.01.070, but the formal notice and hearing procedures set forth in this chapter shall not apply. The county may nevertheless recover its costs for abating that nuisance in the manner set forth in SCC 8.01.120 through 8.01.160. Any action to summarily abate under the provisions of this section shall require that the enforcing officer, prior to the commencement of the abatement, prepare written findings of the grounds for such action and the exigencies supporting same which shall be reviewed and approved by District Attorney, as appropriate, prior to the abatement action.
