27.10.030 APPLICATIONS FOR BUILDING PERMITS AND BUSINESS PERMITS.

The zoning administrator shall review all applications for building permits and business permits and business tax return names and addresses to determine whether a proposed building or structure, or use, or business is in compliance with this title. No building permit shall be issued authorizing work upon property for which a planning application is being processed unless such work is unrelated to the planning application and/or a delay in work poses an immediate threat to the health and safety of the premises or the occupants thereof. No building permit or business permit shall be issued until the zoning administrator shall have approved such application by stamping or affixing his or her written approval on such application.

Demolition permits shall not be issued unless the requirements set forth in Section 23.06.035 are met.

No new building for which a planning application is required may be occupied after completion of its construction, alteration, or addition until the certificate of occupancy to be issued by the building official is approved in writing by the zoning administrator or designee.
