The procedures provided in this chapter shall be cumulative and shall not prevent concurrent or consecutive procedures provided in this chapter, the San Luis Obispo Municipal Code or by state law for the abatement of a public nuisance. Abatement of a public nuisance or imposition of criminal sanctions under this chapter shall not prejudice or affect any other civil or criminal action or remedy for the maintenance of a public nuisance.
