Uniform Building Code Section 301 adopted as the building code
of the City prohibits any person from erecting, constructing, enlarging,
altering, repairing, improving, moving or demolishing any building
or structure without first obtaining a separate building permit for
each building or structure from the Building Official.
(Prior code § 150.070)
The Building Official shall examine all plans and specifications
for proposed construction when application is made to him or her for
a building permit.
(Prior code § 150.071)
The Building Official shall review all building permit applications
for new construction or substantial improvements to determine whether
proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. If
a proposed building site is in a location that has a flood hazard,
any proposed new construction or substantial improvement, including
prefabricated and mobile homes, must:
A.
Be
designed or modified and anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or
lateral movement of the structure;
B.
Use
construction materials and utility equipment that are resistant to
flood damage;
C.
Use
construction methods and practices that will minimize flood damage.
(Prior code § 150.072)
The Building Official shall review subdivision proposals and
other proposed new developments to assure that:
A.
All
such proposals are consistent with the needs to minimize flood damage;
B.
All
proposed utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and
water systems are located, elevated and constructed to minimize or
eliminate flood damage;
C.
Adequate
drainage is provided so as to reduce exposure to flood hazards.
(Prior code § 150.073)
The Building Official shall require new or replacement water
supply systems and/or sanitary sewer systems to be designed to minimize
or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the system that discharges
from the system into floodwaters and require on-site waste disposal
systems be located so as to avoid impairment of them or contamination
from them during flooding.
(Prior code § 150.074)
