[Amended 8-12-1998]
Land may be used or occupied and buildings which have been structurally altered or erected may be used or changed in use only after a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Administrator. Such a certificate shall state that the building or the proposed use or the use of the land complies with the provisions of this chapter. A similar certificate shall be issued for the purpose of maintaining, renewing, changing or extending a nonconforming use. A certificate of occupancy either for the whole or a part of a building shall be applied for simultaneously with the application for a zoning permit. The certificate shall be issued within 10 days after the erected building or structural alteration of such building or part has conformed with the provisions of this chapter, the Uniform Statewide Building Code and other pertinent state regulations.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II)]
Where uses are permitted by special use permit, the location and beginning of such uses shall require, in addition to the zoning permit and certificate of occupancy, a special use permit. These permits shall be subject to such conditions as required in this chapter.
A. 
The Town Council may impose, upon recommendation of the Planning Commission, such conditions relating to the use for which a permit is granted as it may deem necessary in the public interest, including limiting the duration of a permit, and may require a guarantee or bond to ensure that the conditions imposed are being and will continue to be complied with. No special use permit may be granted except after notice and hearing as provided by § 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, as amended. However, when giving any required notice to the owners, their agents or the occupants of abutting property and property immediately across the street or road from the property affected, the Town may give such notice by first-class mail rather than by registered or certified mail.
B. 
The Town Council has the power to revoke a special use permit previously granted by the Town if the Town Council determines that there has not been compliance with the terms or conditions of the permit. No special use permit may be revoked except after notice and hearing as provided by § 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, as amended. However, when giving any required notice to the owners, their agents or the occupants of abutting property and property immediately across the street or road from the property affected, the Town may give such notice by first-class mail rather than by registered or certified mail.
A. 
The governing body shall establish, by resolution, a schedule of fees, charges and expenses and collection procedures for zoning permits, certificates of occupancy, special use permit, variances, appeals, amendments and other matters pertaining to this chapter.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II)]
