§ 15.20.030. Building permit—Application—Rebuilding or repair.
Latest version.
A person may not repair or rebuild any structure permanently installed in the waterways
without a permit issued by the Director of Planning and Zoning. An application shall
be submitted to the Director and shall be accompanied by such drawings and specifications
as the director requires in order to determine the nature and scope of the work to
be performed. If the application satisfies the applicable provisions of Title 21 of this code, as determined by the Planning and Zoning Director, and the Director
of Planning and Zoning determines that the structure to be repaired or rebuilt lawfully
was authorized by the Port Wardens or by Section 15.18.110 or 15.18.120 and was damaged or destroyed not more than one year prior to the date of application,
and that the proposed structure is substantially the same as the structure to be repaired
or rebuilt, and does not exceed the maximum channelward encroachment of the structure
to be repaired or rebuilt, then the Director shall issue the permit. If the application
satisfies the zoning requirements but the Director finds that the application does
not satisfy the other provisions of this section, the Director shall submit the application
to the Port Wardens to be processed under the provisions of Section 15.20.040.
