It is declared to be the general policy of the City of Hubbard, unless otherwise expressly provided by this ordinance, that its municipal planning functions and responsibilities are distributed and assigned as follows:

No building may be undertaken without a building permit. Each application for a building permit intended as a primary use shall be accompanied by a Site Plan, drawn to scale, showing actual dimensions of the lot to be built upon as shown by a site plan, the size, shape, location and elevation of the building to be erected, and such other information as may be necessary to provide for the enforcement of this ordinance. A record of applications and plans shall be kept on file in the City Hall. Only site plans that accompany a zoning change request require public notice and hearing prior to City Council approval.

Subsequent to the effective date of this Ordinance, no change in the use or occupancy of land, nor any change or use of occupancy in an existing building shall be made, nor shall any new building be occupied until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Building Inspector. Every certificate of occupancy shall state that the new occupancy complies with the provisions of this Ordinance. A record of all certificates of occupancy shall be kept on file in the City Hall.
