Analysis
This ordinance:
1. Transfers authority for issuance of “temporary certificates of occupancy” from the commissioner of city development to the commissioner of neighborhood services. A temporary certificate of occupancy allows the temporary occupancy or use of a building, structure or premises prior to the completion of construction.
2. Reinstates provisions relating to “conditional certificates of occupancy” that were omitted from the new zoning code enacted in 2002. A conditional certificate of occupancy allows the temporary occupancy and use of a building, structure or premises prior to the approval of a special use permit or variance by the board of zoning appeals or a zoning map amendment by the common council, provided the applicant meets a number of conditions specified in the code, and the commissioner of city development finds that the occupancy or use will not jeopardize life, health or property and will not adversely impact adjoining property or the neighborhood in general.
3. Creates provisions for the issuance of “conditional construction permits”. A permit of this type allows the construction, alteration, relocation, extension or substantial improvement of a structure prior to the approval of a special use permit or variance by the board of zoning appeals or a zoning map amendment by the common council, provided the applicant meets a number of conditions specified in the code, and the commissioner of city development finds that the occupancy or use will not jeopardize life, health or property and will not adversely impact adjoining property or the neighborhood in general .
