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 or additions that need to be shown on the final building plans, alert you to specific fees, and/or are comments that will help you in complying with the city's development standards. Each item will note when it is to be 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 dependingi 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 a development until the Building Director has issued a certificate of occupancy.
