Footnotes:

--- (9) ---

For provisions on moving permits, see Ch. 12.20 of this code.

A person shall not move onto any premises, other than a commercial storage yard authorized for such use, any building or structure, except a contractor's tool house, construction building or similar structure which is moved as construction requires, until he first secures a relocation building permit as provided in this chapter.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.013(a))

Applicants for relocation permits shall submit photographs of at least two separate elevations, one of which shall be the front, and a certificate from a pest control agency or operator licensed under the Structure Pest Control Act of California, showing freedom from termite infestation, for each building or structure to be moved, when application for a relocation permit is filed.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.013(b))

The applicant shall pay an inspection fee upon application for a permit to move a building or structure in accordance with a resolution of the city council. When the structure is located more than fifty miles outside the boundaries of the city, the department of building and safety may request and reimburse a local agency in that area for an on-site inspection and report. There shall be no inspection or inspection fee on a building or structure to be moved out of the city.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.013(c))

Upon receipt of an application for a permit to relocate a building or structure and receipt of payment of the prescribed inspection fee, the Director of Building and Safety shall inspect the building or structure to be moved and the proposed relocation site, and prepare a written report which shall be forwarded to the applicant. This report shall contain the approval or disapproval of the director of building and safety and, if approved for moving, shall contain the requirements necessary to make the building or structure conform to the requirements of this Code for new buildings and any additional requirements necessary to assure that such relocation will not have detrimental effect, by size, design or age, on the living environment and property values in the area into which the building or structure is to be moved.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.013(d))

Additional corrections may be added to the report provided for in Section 15.32.040 whenever the structure has been vandalized, damaged during transportation or altered in any manner after the on-site inspection. Otherwise, the inspection report shall remain valid for a period of ninety days after the building or structure has been inspected. At the end of that time, if the building or structure has not been relocated, a new report and inspection fee will be required.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.013(e))

The applicant shall make all required changes within 180 days and shall agree in writing to do so. This time limitation may be extended by the Director of Building and Safety upon receipt of evidence of just and proper cause; provided, however, that no such extension shall be granted when, in his judgment, such an extension would be detrimental to the public welfare for any cause or reason.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.013(f))

When any relocated building or structure or portion thereof remains unfinished or unfit for occupancy after expiration of the time limit specified in this Chapter, any and all permits appertaining thereto shall expire by limitation and such building or structure or portion thereof is declared a public nuisance and shall be abated as provided for abatement of public nuisances in this Code.

(Ord. 1 § 1(part), 1978: county code § 63.013(g))
