Specific items have been identified (see attached Site Plan Compliance List) that you
need to resolve before you can obtain a building permit or be allowed occupancy.
These items may include changes • additions that need to be shown on the final bwding
plans, alert you to specific fees, and/or are comments that will help you in complying with
the city's development stanclards, Each item will note when it is to • completed and
they have been grouped by department so that you know who to contact if you have
questions,
Your next step is to either apply for necessary building permits to construct your
project, or begin your business activities depending on the request submitted. You must
submit final building plans to the Building Division. The Site Plan Review Committee will
review these final plans while building plan check occurs to ensure that you satisfy the
items in the Site Plan Compliance List. Please read them carefully. Failure to satisfy an
item may delay your obtaining a building permit or commencing your project.
After construction of your project but before the City can allow occupancy, the
Building Division must inspect the development to find if it complies with the approved
plans, and any other relevant permits and codes. If you have satisfied all of the
requirements, the Building Director will issue a certificate of occupancy; of not, the area
inspector will give you a correction notice. Once you have made all of the corrections,
the Building Director can issue a certificate of occupancy. You may not occupy 0
