Santa Clarita Municipal Code Part 2 Covered Projects

Except as otherwise provided in this code, each applicant for a permit required by this code for a covered project also shall complete and submit a construction and demolition materials management plan ("C&DMMP") to the Administrator or the Administrator's designee unless the project is an exempt project, as defined below. No permit for a covered project shall be issued by the Division of Building and Safety unless the applicant for the permit has submitted to the Division of Building and Safety a construction and demolition materials management plan approved by the Administrator, or the Administrator's designee, or the project is an exempt project as defined in the most currently adopted Construction Waste Reduction, Disposal and Recycling Section of the California Green Code adopted as the "City of Santa Clarita Green Building Standards Code." Review of applications for permits for covered projects by the Division of Building and Safety may be concurrent with the review of the C&DMMP by the Administrator or the Administrator's designee.
