§ 3603. Development permit required.  


Latest version.
  • A development permit based upon an approved site plan shall be required for any proposed use of land(s) or building(s) to indicate and ensure compliance with all provisions of these regulations before any building permit is issued or any improvement, grading, land disturbing activity or alteration of land(s) or building(s) commences; provided, however, that development permits for accessory structures for residential zoning districts shall not be required. Development permit fees are listed in the city fee schedule. Upon payment of applicable development permit fees and approval of a preliminary plat in accordance with all applicable provisions of the development regulations, development may begin on any parcel of land for an approved use within the zoned district as specified in this ordinance. All development permits shall be issued by the planning director or designee, who shall in no case approve a development permit for the use, construction, or alteration of any land or building if the land or building as proposed to be used, constructed or altered would be in violation of any of the provisions of this ordinance, the city development regulations or any other codes and laws. Development permits shall be valid for two years from date of issuance and shall thereafter expire. If work described in any development permit has not begun within 120 days from the date of issuance thereof, said permit shall expire, and further work shall not proceed until a new development permit has been obtained.
