<br />SECTION 3. Title 105 Zoning; Chapter 105.12: Zoning Code, Section 260 Permits, Certificates And Licenses is hereby amended by changing the following section (Proposed language is underlined,
<br />deleted language is shown with strikethrough):
<br />
<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 construction activity may require a permit in accordance with the state building code. Demolition, wrecking or removal of any structure shall require a demolition or moving permit. No building permit shall be issued for any construction, 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. (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 permit for said development. (3) Administrative review of permits for existing platted lots. If the proposed development does not involve a zoning amendment, 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. (4) Expiration. Any building permit issued by the city shall expire and by limitation be null and void if a certificate of occupancy and final completion has not been issued within the following applicable period of time after the date of permit issuance: a) Single-family residential dwellings, including new construction, remodeling or additions: 12 months; b) Multifamily and nonresidential construction: 12 months, unless a longer time is specified by the city council at the time 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 with the state building code. An expired building permit may be reissued once, by the building official, for one-half the original permit fee. Thereafter, if the permitted work is not completed within the applicable time period, a new permit 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; d) Time limitations for exterior work. All exterior work shall be completed as follows: 1. All disturbed and exposed ground shall be covered with landscaping in accordance with LEC 105.04.080 through LEC 105.04.160. 2. All exterior construction, including siding, roofing, doors, windows and finish shall be completed and present a 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 designed to be an exterior finish shall not be considered an acceptable exterior finish. Extensions for weather-sensitive work may be granted by the building official. 3. Failure to complete exterior work as required herein shall result in suspension of the existing permit until a reinstatement fee equal to 100 percent of the original building permit has been made. Reinstatement of a building permit does not extend the original term of the permit. The reinstatement fee shall also be paid prior to re-issuance of any subsequent permit for exterior work that was not completed under a prior permit that expired.
