Analysis
This ordinance deletes the term zoning certificate from the building code since they are no longer issued and are now called certificates of occupancy. It also includes the following:
1) Increases the fee for a duplicate certificate of occupancy and a business name change from $25 to $50.
2) Clarifies that a fee for a temporary certificate of occupancy is either $100 or $150 based on whether the square footage of the building is less than or greater than 10,000 square feet.
3) Clarifies that a conditional certificate of occupancy is obtained from the department of city development.
4) Clarifies that the fee for a demolition permit is calculated at 1% of the cost of the demolition.
5) In the case of a rooming house or daycare, adds the requirement to conduct inspections when an application for a certificate of occupancy is taken out even when the prior use of the building or space was the same.
