18.60.010 Generally.

On any proposal to construct a building or other improvement(s) to property which is defined by this title and FCC Title 17 as a permitted use in the zone in which proposed, the City staff shall review the submission to determine whether the proposal:

1. Is a permitted use within the zone for which it is proposed.

2. Complies with the requirements of that zone for height, setback, and lot coverage.

3. Meets the applicable parking requirements.

4. Requires analysis as defined in Chapter 18.120 FCC.

Upon finding that the proposal complies with the applicable zoning requirements, and can be adequately serviced by existing utility systems or lines, the plans shall be reviewed for building code compliance and permit issuance. If the submission does not comply with the requirements of the zone, the City staff shall notify the owner of the project or his agent stating the requirements of the zone that have not been satisfied. (Ord. 2016-09 § 1, 2016; Ord. 66 § 1.12, 1993.)

18.60.020 Application for permitted uses.

The application for a building permit for a permitted use shall contain the following information, in addition to information required by the International Building Code:

1. When a structure is to be built, the footing and foundation details, site plan, and elevations of all sides of the structure, and proof that all fees have been paid, prior to excavation.

2. A site plan showing the lot and the location of the proposed structure. The site plan must be drawn to scale. A certified survey may be required on projects with structures on or near the lot lines, or when the lot lines are difficult to determine from existing plats and monuments.

3. A statement of the name and address of the owner or responsible agent, and a telephone number.

4. The location of the proposed structure by street address or by reference to existing structures so that the location can be identified and assigned a street address.

5. A legal description of the property and proof of ownership.

6. The location and size of adjacent utility lines.

7. A letter or certification from the Army Corps of Engineers, stating that the property (which is not in an approved subdivision) is approved for construction and will not impact any wetlands, if required by the City Engineer.

8. A statement of whether the property is subject to a homeowner’s association declaration or similar covenants, conditions or restrictions. If so, the City shall instruct the applicant to contact the architectural committee or other body with authority over the proposed construction, but in no case shall the City be liable or responsible for failure to so instruct the applicant, or for the applicant’s failure to comply in any way with the applicable covenants, conditions or restrictions.
