The Department of Community Development shall issue permits
heretofore required, including, but not limited to, grading permits,
building permits, plumbing permits, mechanical permits and electrical
permits on a single form which designates these permits. The permit
fee shall be based on the cumulative value of all the work for which
a permit is sought.
(A)
Fees for the issuance of such permits shall be payable in the amounts
fixed by resolution of the City Council, based on the valuation listed
therein or on the cost based fees in the amounts fixed by resolution
of the City Council. The fees shall be charged and collected at the
time of issuance of the permit except as otherwise provided in the
Santa Rosa City Code.
(B)
A permit is required for any change in the character of use of any
building that would place the building in a different division of
the same group of occupancy or in a different group of occupancies.
The minimum permit fee for such a change shall be as set forth in
the fee schedule adopted by resolution of the City Council.
(C)
Permits may be cancelled if no construction work has been started, and refunds, if any, may be granted in accordance with the procedure established in Section 18-08.140.
(D)
The Building Official may issue permits on separate forms if such
practice is determined necessary to help expedite the permit process
or to help facilitate phased construction projects.
