§ 20.08.130 — Development permit required

20.08.130 - Development permit required.

(A) Subject to the provisions of Subsection (B) of this Section, it shall be unlawful for any person to begin any construction or development on any land within the City without first obtaining a development permit from the Director of Public Works. Application for a development permit shall be made on forms furnished by the Director of Public Works and may include, but not be limited to, plans in duplicate drawn to scale showing the nature, location, dimensions, and elevations of the area in question; existing or proposed structures, fill, storage of materials, drainage facilities; debris control structures; and the location of the foregoing. Specifically, the following information is required: (1) Elevation of the lowest floor of all structures; (2) Elevation to which any structure has been floodproofed; (3) Certification by a registered professional engineer that the floodproofing methods for any nonresidential structure meet the floodproofing criteria in Section 20.08.420; (4) Description of the extent to which any watercourse will be altered or relocated as a result of proposed development; and (5) Documentation to show compliance with the Flood Control Master Plan and Drainage Design Manual. (B) If and to the extent the Director of Public Works does not use a process to require a separate development permit, the requirements of Subsection (A) may be satisfied by an alternate process by which the Director has the opportunity to review and approve a development permit application under another code, such as a permit application under a building code, provided that the information required by Subsection (A) has been submitted or made available.
