A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
PROVIDING FOR BUILDING PERMIT EXPIRATION AND EXTENSIONS
WHEREAS, the 1979 Edition of the Uniform Building Code will revise
building permit criteria with amended time frames and provisions for
permit extensions; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the City of Redlands will not
formally adopt the 1979 Edition of said code until July, 1980, in coor-
dination with the San Bernardino County and adjacent cities; and
WHEREAS, the current adopted Building Codes do not have provisions
for extension of the time for which work may commence;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF REDLANDS does hereby resolve to pro-
vide for permit extensions, amended permit time periods for start of
construction, and for the definition of "start of construction" as
follows:
"Every permit issued by the Director of Building and Safety under
the provisions of the Uniform Building Code shall expire by limitation
and become null and void if the building or work authorized by such
permit is not commenced within 180 days from date of such permit, or
if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or
abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of 180
days. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first
obtained, and the fee therefor shall be one-half the amount required
for a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or
will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work;
and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not
exceeded one year.
"Any permitee holding an unexpired permit may apply for extension
of the time within which he may commence work under that permit when
he is unable to commence work within the time required by this resolu-
tion for good and satisfactory reasons (unforseeable causes beyond the
control and without fault or omission of the permittee, including but
not restricted to 'Acts of God, ' strikes, fires, floods , epidemics, or
severe weather) , provided further, that any fee imposed by the City as
a condition of the issuance of a building permit which was established
or increased subsequent to the issuance of the original permit shall be
paid in the amount as required for a new permit at the date of the
extension of the permit. The Director of Building and Safety may
extend the time for action by the permittee for a period not exceeding
180 days upon written request by the permittee providing evidence of
the circumstances beyond the control of the permittee which have pre-
vented action from being taken -- NO permit shall be extended more than
once. In order to renew action on a permit after expiration, the
permittee shall pay a new full permit fee.
"For the purpose of this resolution ' start of construction' means
the placement of permanent construction of a structure on a site, such
as the pouring of slabs or footings or any work beyond the stage of
excavation and temporary concrete forming. Permanent construction does
not include land preparation, such as clearing, grading, and filling;
nor does it include the installation of streets and/or walkways; nor
does it include the excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or
foundations; nor the placement of plumbing or electric wiring; nor does
it include the installation on the property of accessory buildings,
such as garages or sheds not occupied as dwelling units or not as a
part of the main structure.
"For a structure without a basement or poured footings, the ' start
of construction' includes the first permanent framing or assembly of
the structure or any part thereof on its piling or foundation. "
ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 4th day of March, 1980.
