[Ord. No. 305, §§ 2
to 4; Ord. No. 895, § 1.]
No building permit shall be issued for the erection or construction
of any structure, including the moving of a structure onto a parcel,
or the remodeling or converting of an existing structure, if such
remodeling or converting constitutes thirty-three percent or more
of the replacement value of said structure based upon valuation data
as published by building standards, unless the applicant agrees to
install along all street frontages, concrete curbs and gutters, concrete
sidewalks, concrete driveway approaches, off-site drainage facilities
and matching pavement as part of the proposed construction unless
adequate improvements already exist as determined by the director
of public works; provided that in areas not subdivided or parceled
into lots of one-half acre or less, such improvements need not extend
a greater distance than the required sideyards or the required side
and rear yard in the case of corner lots.
The building official shall deny approval and occupancy, and
shall refuse to allow final public utility connections, to any such
building or dwelling unless such improvements are constructed, or
unless money or bond to guarantee their construction is deposited
with the city in a sum equal to the estimated costs of the improvements
as determined by the director of public works.
The director of public works may require dedication of land
for street or highway purposes, to achieve conformance with the city
general plan prior to issuance of a building permit. The director
of public works may accept in lieu thereof an agreement to make such
dedication, in form and substance as specified by the director of
public works.
The regulations prescribed in this section shall not apply where
the public works director certifies to the building official that,
because of the existing grade or conformation of the street adjacent
to the property, it is not feasible to install said improvements.
