8530.2. - ADDITION [ADMINISTRATIVE].

Sections 3109.2.1, 3109.2.2, 3109.2.3., and 3109.2.4 are added to Chapter 31 of the California Building Code to read as follows:

3109.2.1. Swimming Pool, Spa and Hot Tub Permit Fees. Every applicant for a permit to install, alter, or repair a swimming pool, spa, hot tub or part thereof, shall state in writing on the application form provided for that purpose, the character of work proposed to be done and the amount and kind in connection therewith, together with such information pertinent thereto as may be required.

A fee for each swimming pool, spa or hot tub, including for plumbing and electrical systems, shall be paid to the City in an amount established by City Council Resolution.

Any person who shall commence any swimming pool, spa or hot tub work for which a permit is required by this Code without having obtained a permit therefore shall, if subsequently permitted to obtain a permit, pay double the permit fee fixed by resolution of the City Council for such work, provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to emergency work when it shall be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Building Official that such work was urgently necessary and that it was not practical to obtain a permit

therefore, before the commencement of the work. In all such cases, a permit must be obtained as soon as practical to do so, and if there be an unreasonable delay in obtaining such permit, a double fee shall be charged.

3109.2.2. Reinspections. A reinspection fee may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called is not complete or when required corrections have not been made.

This provision is not to be interpreted as requiring reinspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this Code, but as controlling the practice of calling for inspection before the job is ready for reinspection.

Reinspection fees may be assessed when the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which the inspection is requested, or for deviating from plans requiring approval of the City. To obtain reinspection, the applicant shall file an application therefore in writing upon the form furnished for that purpose and pay the reinspection fee in accordance with the amount set by City Council Resolution. In instances where reinspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work shall be performed until the required fees have been paid.

3109.2.3. Plan Review Fees. Whenever plans, calculations or other data are required to be submitted, a plan review fee shall be paid to the City at the time of submitting documents for plan review in an amount set by City Council Resolution. When plans are incomplete or changed so as to require an additional review, a fee shall be paid to the City in an amount established by City Council Resolution.

9.2.3. Plan Review Fees. Whenever plans, calculations or other data are required to be submitted, a plan review fee shall be paid to the City at the time of submitting documents for plan review in an amount set by City Council Resolution. When plans are incomplete or changed so as to require an additional review, a fee shall be paid to the City in an amount established by City Council Resolution.

3109.2.4. Board of Appeals. Appeals of orders, decisions or determinations made by the Building Official relative to the application and interpretation of the code shall be as specified in Arcadia Municipal Code Section 8130.2.
