(Ord. No. 1438, § I, 8-1-2023)

A.

Zoning review. Upon the application for a building permit the development services director shall review the development to determine that the land and/or structure is in conformance with the terms of this UDC. The zoning review does not authorize construction; it certifies that the land and/or structure is in conformance with the terms of this UDC. This includes review for conformance with the required site plan and proposed building elevations for a PUD or SPUD project. If substantial deviation from the provided site plan or elevations is found the project shall not progress through the building permit process until conformance is achieved.

1.

New construction: No building or other structure shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered or repaired in such a manner as to prolong the life of the building, nor shall the use of any land/or building or other structure be changed without a zoning review of such construction, alteration, repair, or use changes as being in compliance with the provisions of this UDC. No building permit shall be issued for any construction not conforming to this UDC.

2.

Change in uses of land/or building: No change shall be made in the use of any land/or building or structure after the passage of this UDC until a zoning review has been conducted, determining that all the provisions of this UDC have been complied with.

B.

Violations. If the development services director shall find that any of the provisions of this UDC are being violated, they shall notify in writing the persons responsible for such violations, indicating the nature of the violation and/ordering the action necessary to correct it, and shall take such other action as is authorized by law to ensure compliance with or to prevent violation of its provisions.
