An application for an operating permit shall
be in writing on a form provided by the Engineering Department and
approved by the Division. Such application shall include such information
as the Division deems sufficient to permit a determination by the
Division that quantities, materials, and activities conform to the
requirements of the Uniform Code. If the Division determines that
tests or reports are necessary to verify conformance, such tests or
reports shall be performed or provided by such person or persons as
may be designated by or otherwise acceptable to the Division, at the
expense of the applicant.
Operating permits shall be issued for such period
of time, not to exceed one year in the case of any operating permit
issued for an area of public assembly and not to exceed three years
in any other case, as shall be determined by the Division to be consistent
with local conditions. The effective period of each operating permit
shall be specified in the operating permit. An operating permit may
be reissued or renewed upon application to the Division.
In any circumstance in which more than one activity
listed is to be conducted at a location, the Division may require
a separate operating permit for each such activity, or the Division
may, in his or her discretion, issue a single operating permit to
apply to all such activities.
