An alternative to closure may be considered only as provided in this section.  (c)  (1) If the court finds that any vacancy resulting from closure of the building or place may create a nuisance or that closure is otherwise harmful to the community, in lieu of ordering the building or place closed, the court may order the person who is responsible for the existence of the common nuisance, or the person who knowingly permits controlled substances to be unlawfully sold, served, stored, kept, or given away in or from a building or place he or she owns, to pay damages in an amount equal to the fair market rental value of the building or place for such period of time as determined appropriate by the court to the city or county in whose jurisdiction the common nuisance is located for the purpose of carrying out their drug prevention and education programs.

(2) For purposes of this subsection, the actual amount of rent being received for the rental of the building or place, or the existence of any vacancy therein, may be considered, but shall not be the sole determinant of the fair market rental value. Expert testimony may be used to determine the fair market rental value.    (d) In addition, the court may assess a civil penalty not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000) against any or all of the defendants, based upon the severity of the common nuisance and its duration.
