"Any person who commences work on a building, structure, electrical,
gas, mechanical or plumbing system before obtaining the necessary
permits shall be subject to a penalty equal to double the permit fees.
In addition, when required by the Building Official, a special investigation
shall be performed at a cost established by separate resolution."
|
"The Building Official or Planning Director may authorize refunding
of any fee paid hereunder which was erroneously paid or collected.
|
The Building Official or Planning Director may authorize refunding
of not more than 80% of the permit fee when no work has been done
under a permit issued in accordance with this Code.
|
The Building Official or Planning Director may authorize refunding
of not more than 80% of the plan review fee when an application for
a permit for which a plan review fee has been paid is withdrawn or
canceled before the plan is reviewed.
|
The Building Official or Planning Director shall not authorize
refunding of any fee paid except on written application filed by the
original permittee not later than 90 days after the date of fee payment."
|
"Where required, automatic fire sprinklers shall be provided
as follows:
| |
(a) Notwithstanding any provision in Section 903.2 of the CBC
and Section 903.2 of the California Fire Code, approved automatic
fire sprinklers shall be installed and maintained in accordance with
the National Fire Protection Association's ("NFPA") Standard
13 throughout all new buildings as set forth herein.
| |
(b) All buildings and structures constructed after the effective
date of Ordinance No. 1155-17, or March 23, 2017, regardless of when
permitted or approved, shall be provided with an automatic sprinkler
system installed in accordance with the applicable standards of the
NFPA, of the rules and regulations of the State Fire Marshal and of
this Code. In addition, an automatic sprinkler system shall be installed
throughout an entire building or structure upon: 1) the rehabilitation,
remodeling or reconstruction of 25% or more of the gross square footage
of an existing commercial or multiple unit residential building or
structure, whether done at one time or through successive projects
approved at any time after March 23, 2017; 2) the rehabilitation,
remodeling or reconstruction of 50% or more of the gross square footage
of an existing single-family dwelling, whether done at one time or
through successive projects approved at any time after March 23, 2017,
except where the cost of the rehabilitation, remodeling or reconstruction
is $10,000 or less as determined by the Building Official using City-approved
construction cost estimates; and 3) upon a change in the use of any
building or structure, except in the case of a change in the use of
a single-family residence to use as a family day care home, in which
case the provisions of Health and Safety Code Section 1596 et seq.
shall apply. Where a property owner constructs changes to an existing
building without first obtaining permits for such work and no readily
available, reliable source of information exists to verify whether
the unpermitted work triggers the provisions of this section, a rebuttable
presumption that the installation of fire sprinklers is required under
this section shall arise. The property owner may request a hearing
before the Building Official, whose decision shall be appealable to
the City Manager, for the purpose of rebutting the presumption. The
City Council shall promulgate rules and regulations by resolution
setting forth examples and guidance for the application of this ordinance."
