14A-4-404.22.3 Canopies. It is unlawful for any person to erect or construct any canopy on or over the public way under any provision of the Municipal Code or any special ordinance without first submitting the plans of such canopy, and also of the part of the building or other structure to which it is to be attached, to the building official as part of an application for permit. The Department of Transportation may not issue a permit for use of the public way to install a canopy unless a permit for the canopy has been obtained from the building official. (Amend Coun. J. 2-19-20, p. 14473, Art. I, § 9)
