A. Whenever the City provides an extraordinary service or response to a particular business or property, the City may provide the property owner or occupant with written notice specifying the emergency services provided during the extraordinary service response and, if available, the costs of the response, and may require the owner or occupant to provide the City a written plan for improving the security and safety of the property, or the operation of the business. The plan shall demonstrate in detail:
1. The specific, tangible methods detailing how the plan will be implemented;
2. A time line for implementation of the plan (if the plan cannot be immediately implemented);
3. A good faith analysis by the owner/occupant setting forth how the specific methods to be implemented will reduce those situations necessitating an emergency response; and
4. A statement by the owner/occupant that he/she is committed to implementing the plan.
The plan shall be submitted to the City no later than 14 calendar days after receipt of the notice.

If the City determines that the plan adequately addresses the public safety and security issues, the City shall approve the plan, and notify the owner/occupant to immediately implement the plan.
B. If the City determines that the proposed plan does not adequately address the security and safety issues, or if no plan is received, the City shall develop a plan to address public safety and security issues. The plan may include any reasonable changes in the design or operation of the property or business, including the requirement for provision of private security at no cost to the City of Riverside. The City shall notify the owner or occupant of the plan and shall specify a reasonable deadline for compliance.
