§ 17.64.030 Occupancy and deferred improvements.
No building or land shall be used or occupied except in full and complete compliance with the requirements of this title.
The planning director may enter into an agreement for installation of landscaping, paving, or similar improvements after occupancy. Such agreements shall be for the shortest feasible time period, and shall not exceed 180 days. The applicant shall file a redeemable cash, bond, or letter of credit security with the city for no less than 110 percent of the value of the work, and the city shall use such funds to complete the work if it has not been done when the agreement expires, otherwise they shall be promptly returned.
The planning director may enter into a long-term deferred public improvements agreement in cases where, for example, sidewalks may be built along a street in the future, but need not be constructed as part of a current project, since there are no sidewalks on the remainder of the street. Later improvement or expansion of a street or utility lines would be additional cases where such an agreement may be used if improvement at present would be premature.
