No person shall relocate on, or move onto any premises, or permit to be relocated on, or moved onto any premises, in the City, any building or structure that is subject to the provisions of this title, without first obtaining a relocation permit from the building official.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 15.40.010)
The building official shall issue relocation permits only for buildings and structures that conform to all of the standards of this title and Section 102.6 of the Uniform Administrative Code or which, through minimal amounts of reconstruction as determined by the building official, can be made to conform to all of the standards of this title and other applicable codes and standards. Buildings may not be required to comply with the regulations of this section if qualified as historical pursuant to Section 8-218 SHBC.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 15.40.020)
Any person desiring to relocate a building or structure shall first make an application for each such building or structure in accordance with Sections 302.1(1)—(3), (6) and (7), of the Uniform Administrative Code to obtain a special inspection permit. Also, as a part of this application, the applicant shall furnish photographs and a floor plan of the building or structure proposed to be moved, with a detailed written description of any proposed repair, alteration or addition to the building or structure along with a plot plan of the new site showing the building or structure situated relative to property lines. This application shall be accompanied by a fee of $80.22 ($64.18 plus $16.04 processing fee) except that if the building or structure is located outside of the limits of the City, the fee shall be increased by $0.62 for each mile between the building and the nearest point on the boundary of the City measured by way of the shortest route usually traveled. Dwellings with garages, attached or detached, shall be considered as one building.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 15.40.030)
Upon receipt of all required information from the applicant the building official shall inspect the building or structure proposed to be moved and the proposed relocation site. Upon completion of his or her inspection, the building official shall prepare a written report which shall be mailed to the applicant. The report shall contain the approval or disapproval of the building official, and if approved for relocation, shall specify all work that must be performed to make the building or structure conform to this title and any other necessary requirements. This report shall be valid only for a period of 45 days after the date of issuance by the building official and only for the approved building or structure and approved relocation site. The contents of this report and all proposed work shall be incorporated into plans and specifications in accordance with Sections 302.2 and 302.3 of the Uniform Administrative Code and accompany an application for a permit in accordance with Section 302.1 of the Uniform Administrative Code within 45 days time frame.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 15.40.040)
After the building official has approved a building or structure for relocation, the relocation site, and all plans and specifications the applicant may, prior to the expiration of the plan check permit, apply for a moving permit and the necessary building permits to perform the work. The fee for the moving permit shall be $30.00, and the fee for required building permits shall be determined from the applicable provisions of this title. As a part of the application, the applicant shall certify that no changes have been made to the building or structure since the date of inspection by the building official.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 15.40.050)
A. 
No relocation permit shall be issued unless the applicant first furnishes a written report of a qualified termite inspector that it is free from termites or other vermin and shall post with the building official a cash deposit, the amount of which shall be based on the square footage of the structure to be relocated, as follows:
1. 
750 to 1,000 square feet: $3,000.00;
2. 
Every additional 500 square feet: $500.00.
B. 
In determining the amount of square footage, dwellings with attached or detached garages will be considered one structure; all other structures shall be considered separately and shall require a deposit for each structure. In lieu of cash, the applicant may substitute a bank cashier's check, a bank or savings and loan money order, or a bank certificate of deposit. All of the above must be made payable to the Department of Building and Safety. In all cases no substitute for a cash deposit will be acceptable if it may be recalled by the applicant without the consent of the City or if it requires any act other than the cashing thereof for collection by the City. The return of the cash deposit or other security shall be conditioned upon the performance of all terms and conditions of a permit within the prescribed time limits on any extension thereof.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 15.40.060)
A. 
If the permittee does not complete all the required construction, repairs, and changes within 150 days of issuance of the relocation permit or any granted extension thereof, the building official shall give written notice thereof by certified mail to the permittee specifying the work that has not been completed and the date the relocation permit or extension of the permit is due to expire. This notice shall also state that the deposit shall be forfeited if substantial work is not completed on the building and that a written request for inspection thereof must be filed with the building official or that a request for extension be filed in accordance with Section 303.4 of the Uniform Administrative Code prior to the expiration date of the relocation permit. If the permittee fails to comply with the notice of the building official, the permit shall expire and the deposit shall be forfeited.
B. 
Upon receipt of the forfeited deposit, the building official, at his or her option, may cause the removal or demolition of the building or structure. In the event that the cost of removing or demolishing the building or structure is less than the required deposit, the excess thereof shall be deposited with the City treasurer to the credit of the owner of the property of such other person legally entitled thereto, which shall be payable upon proof satisfactory to the treasurer.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 15.40.070)
The building official shall have access to all premises described in a relocation permit whether permanent or temporary in order to inspect the building or structure involved, the progress of the work, and to perform any of the acts authorized or required by this title.
(Ord. 18 § 2, 2008, RCC § 15.40.090)
No officer of this City who is authorized to issue a permit to transport a building or structure upon a City street shall issue such a permit until a relocation permit has been issued by the building official for the building or structure, or until the owner or person in control of the building or structure has filed with the building official an affidavit that the building or structure is not to be located temporarily or permanently in the City except in an approved relocation yard located on property zoned for such use. No building or structure shall be transported upon any City street unless the owner or person in control thereof has obtained a permit from the Director of Transportation.
