A.Administration and inspections. The provisions of this article shall be administered and enforced by the Code Enforcement Officer, who shall have the power to make inspections of buildings or premises necessary to carry out his duties in the enforcement of this article. No zoning permit or certificate of occupancy required hereunder shall be issued by the Code Enforcement Officer except after compliance with the provisions of this article.B.Changes to drawings.(1)No site plan drawings approved by the Planning Commission shall be changed, modified or altered in any way until the Code Enforcement Officer reviews said proposed change, modification or alteration. The property owner shall submit to the City Code Enforcement Officer an application requesting a modification to an approved site plan. Said application shall outline the details of the proposed changes, the reasons for the proposed changes and the possible impacts of the proposed changes. If the Code Enforcement Officer determines that a proposed change, modification or alteration is minor, the City Code Enforcement Officer shall approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove of said change. If the Code Enforcement Officer determines that the proposed change, modification or alteration of a final site plan drawing is significant, he or she shall not take any action and shall direct the property owners to obtain written approval from the Planning Commission.(2)On major projects the Planning Commission may schedule and hold a public hearing on any proposed changes, and shall give notice of such hearing in accordance with § 300-76E(1) of this article. Any proposed changes to approved site plan drawings shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission within 30 calendar days of the receipt of a complete application by the City Code Enforcement Officer. The Planning Commission shall approve, approve with modifications or disapprove the request for said changes. Failure of the Planning Commission to act on such matter within 30 days shall constitute conditional approval of said changes. The Planning Commission may, however, table such request for changes to site plan drawings if the Planning Commission feels that the applicant has not provided sufficient information regarding the changes being proposed.C.Performance guaranties. With site plans that involve removal of topsoil, grading and/or excavating, a performance bond, letter of credit or some other form of surety acceptable to the City Attorney shall be required to ensure that site plan work is completed. No final certificate of occupancy may be issued until all improvements shown on the site plan drawings are installed or a sufficient performance guaranty has been posted for improvements not yet complete.
