2-1999]
No structure, secondary structure or accessory structure shall
be erected, enlarged or structurally altered, nor shall the number
of dwelling units in any structure be increased or decreased until
a building permit has been issued. No building permit shall be issued
unless the Building Official has determined that the subject property
is, or will be after completion of the work for which the permit is
to be authorized, in compliance with this chapter of the Code of the
Village of Camillus.
No lot shall be used or occupied and no structure, secondary
structure or accessory structure shall be utilized until a certificate
of compliance shall have been issued. The issuance of a building permit
shall constitute authorization for the appropriate official to enter
upon the premises where the work under permit is being pursued at
such times as may be necessary to ensure that all applicable regulations
are being complied with.
[Amended 3-7-1989 by L.L. No. 2-1989]
Any building permit or certificate of compliance may be revoked
where it appears that any applicable regulations are being violated.
[Amended 5-3-1988 by L.L. No. 4-1988]
A. Except as otherwise provided for herein, all special permits, administrative
permits, variances and similar special authorizations issued pursuant
to this chapter shall lapse at the end of 18 months from the date
thereof unless development of the land use activity has been substantially
completed in accordance with all applicable building permits as determined
by the appropriate Building Official. In making such determination,
the following elements shall be considered:
(1) Investment in materials and labor resulting in physical improvements
to the land.
(2) The degree of progress, taking into account weather conditions, governmental
intervention, material or labor shortages or other acts not within
the immediate control of the applicant.
B. The Building Official shall, at least 20 days prior to the expiration
of the eighteen-month period, execute a certificate of lapse or no
lapse and forward the same to the appropriate decision-making body.
Such determination may be appealed by any interested party to the
decision-making body in accordance with the procedures applicable
to the standard provisions of this chapter. This section shall also
apply to all permits issued prior to the effective date of this amendment,
provided that the time period of 18 months shall be computed from
the date of adoption of this chapter.
Development of any land use activity for which all necessary permits have been issued prior to the effective date of this chapter may be pursued to completion despite the fact that such development would result in nonconforming elements not allowed as a matter of right or otherwise prohibited, provided that, where such permit involves construction, the same is commenced prior to or within 30 days following the effective date and substantially completed within one year from the date thereof, or in the case of occupancy not requiring substantial construction or improvements, such occupancy is effected within 30 days following such effective date. Substantial completion shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of §
110-18 of this chapter.
