No person shall do any excavation blasting without a permit
therefor from the fire chief. The application for such a permit shall
be on forms prescribed by the fire chief. Before the issuance of such
a permit the fire chief shall require the receipt of a written report
from the city engineer or building official. Any conditions contained
in the city engineer's or building official's report shall become
conditions of the permit.
(Prior code § 23-24; Ord. 5527 § 28, 2006)
The fire chief of the Glendale fire division is designated as
the issuing authority for the city in accordance with, and for the
purposes designated in, Section 12007 of the
Health and Safety Code
of the state of California.
(Prior code § 23-24.1; Ord. 5527 § 28, 2006)
The application shall be accompanied by a fee of $25. Before
the issuance of any permit the applicant shall pay in addition thereto
a fee of $30 for each day during which excavation blasting operations
are proposed. If in the opinion of the fire chief the presence of
an inspector at the blasting site is necessary or advisable, a charge
for such inspector's presence shall also be made at the regular hourly
pay rate for inspectors as established by the current salary ordinance
of the city, and such charge shall be paid in advance by the applicant.
(Prior code § 23-25; Ord. 5527 § 28, 2006)
Insofar as applicable, the provisions of this chapter relating
to conditions in permits, procedure and the like matters shall govern
excavation blasting permits, but the fire chief shall continue to
enforce all applicable laws on blasting under the fire chief's jurisdiction
that are not in conflict with this chapter, and the fire chief may
make and keep on file in the fire chief's office any rules which have
been approved by the city engineer or building official establishing
conditions for excavation blasting permits.
(Prior code § 23-26; Ord. 5527 § 28, 2006)
Any person aggrieved by the action of the fire chief in denying or revoking a permit required by this chapter for failure to meet or to comply with the provisions of this chapter or any provision of the Glendale Building and Safety Code may appeal to the council within the time and in the manner provided in Chapter
2.88 of this code.
