3    Said plan checking fees for buildings of Group R, Division 3 and Group U Occupancies shall use the “Same as” fee in Section 4(J) for buildings located in an approved subdivision if an approved building plan is on file with the building department.

4    See one-step fee chart for analysis and breakdown of these residential fees.

5    Permits for any modular requiring construction at the site shall be assessed based on value as set forth in Section 2 of this table.
