No person, firm, or corporation shall commence to construct, alter or move a building or structure, or to make a change in use of any land within the territory shown on the zone map which has been adopted as a part of this Title without first submitting an application and obtaining a permit therefore from the Zoning Administrator or other authorized officer; provided, however, that permits for the moving of structures shall be granted only after complying with the requirements as set forth in Title 16. A permit shall also be required for the moving or improvement of manufactured homes, and similar movable structures, except that no permit shall be required for the moving of an approved manufactured home into a manufactured home park, nor shall a permit be required to move a recreation vehicle into a recreation vehicle court.

All applications for building permits shall be accompanied by plans which have been drawn to scale showing the accurate dimensions of the lot to be built upon, the size and location of existing buildings, and, as required, the location and layout of off-street parking.

Permits shall not be granted for the construction or alteration of any building or structure or for the moving of a building or structure onto a lot or for the change in use of any land, building, or structure, if such construction, alteration, moving, or change in use would be a violation of any of the provisions of this Title, nor shall any sewer or water service line or electric utilities be installed to serve the premises until a permit to construct the building has been obtained.

No license shall be issued by an official or employee vested with the duty and authority to issue licenses which would not be in conformance with the provisions of this Title. Any license so issued shall be null and void.

No building or structure shall be constructed, reconstructed, altered, or moved to the extent of $1,000.00 or more in replaceable value nor shall the use of any land be changed except after the issuance of a permit for the same by the Zoning Administrator or other authorized officer.

Building Permit or Certificates of Zoning Compliance issued on the basis of plans and specifications recommended by the Planning Commission and approved by the City Council, authorize only the use, arrangement, and construction set forth in such approved plans and application, and no other use, arrangement, or construction. Use, arrangement, or construction at variance with that authorized shall be deemed to be a violation of this Ordinance Title.
