<br />Licenses is hereby amended by changing the following section (Proposed language is underlined,
<br />deleted language is shown with st-nii�}:
<br />(a) Building permits.
<br />(1) Compliance. A building permit is required for the construction or structural alteration of a building or any part thereof. Other
<br />construction activity may require a permit in accordance with the state building code. Demolition, wrecking or removal of
<br />any structure shall require a demolition or moving permit. No building permit shall be issued for any construction,
<br />enlargement, alteration or repair, demolition or moving of any building or structure on any lot or parcel until all requirements
<br />of the state building code as adopted by the city pursuant to LEC 105.08 have been fully met.
<br />(2) Concurrent applications. If the proposed development requires a zoning amendment, variance or conditional use permit, or
<br />other permit required under this article, the applicant shall secure all required permits prior to the issuance of a building
<br />permit for said development.
<br />(3) Administrative review of permits for existing platted lots. If the proposed development does not involve a zoning amendment,
<br />variance or conditional use permit, and proposes a use, structure or expansion of an existing structure on an existing platted
<br />lot, the director of planning may review the application and authorize the building official to approve or to deny the permit.
<br />(4) Expiration. Any building permit issued by the city shall expire and by limitation be null and void if a certificate of occupancy
<br />and final completion has not been issued within the following applicable period of time after the date of permit issuance:
<br />a) Single-family residential dwellings, including new construction, remodeling or additions: 12 months;
<br />b) Multifamily and nonresidential construction: 12 months, unless a longer time is specified by the city council at the time
<br />the original permit is issued;
<br />c) Extension. The building official may grant an extension prior to the expiration of any building permits in accordance
<br />with the state building code. An expired building permit may be reissued once, by the building official, for one-half the
<br />original permit fee. Thereafter, if the permitted work is not completed within the applicable time period, a new permit
<br />may be issued only upon such conditions as the city council by resolution may prescribe, including financial guarantees
<br />to guarantee completion by a specified date;
<br />d) Time limitations for exterior work. All exterior work shall be completed as follows:
<br />1. All disturbed and exposed ground shall be covered with landscaping in accordance with LEC 105.04.080 through
<br />LEC 105.04.160.
<br />2. All exterior construction, including siding, roofing, doors, windows and finish shall be completed and present a
<br />finished appearance within six months of the start of construction. Tar paper, unfinished plywood, fiberboard
<br />insulation, foam insulation, brown coat or scratch coat of stucco, plastic sheeting and other similar materials not
<br />designed to be an exterior finish shall not be considered an acceptable exterior finish. Extensions for weather -
<br />sensitive work may be granted by the building official.
<br />3. Failure to complete exterior work as required herein shall result in suspension of the existing permit until a
<br />reinstatement fee equal to 100 percent of the original building permit has been made. Reinstatement of a building
<br />permit does not extend the original term of the permit. The reinstatement fee shall also be paid prior to re -issuance
<br />of any subsequent permit for exterior work that was not completed under a prior permit that expired.
