CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET Submittal Date: Originating Department: Presented By: Agenda Item No.: 03/02/09 Council Date: City Council Kevin Carruth 20. 03/09/09 RECOMMENDED MOTION: Not an action item POLICY ISSUE(S): Planning and Zoning BACKGROUND: The basic process for building permits begins with the applicant completing the appropriate building permit application packet. The application packet contains all of the information an applicant needs to submit for a building permit. Once the application is submitted it is reviewed for completeness. Any projects requiring zoning or platting approvals are scheduled for action by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. Applications not requiring P&Z action are sent to Bureau Veritas for plan review and entered into the Bureau Veritas web-based tracking system. Bureau Veritas will note any deficiencies in the plans and works with applicants until the plan meet appropriate codes. After plans are approved and fees paid permits are issued. At various stages of construction the contractor will call to schedule an inspection by Bureau Veritas. Any deficiencies noted during an inspection are noted for correction by the contractor. If a dangerous condition exists, the contractor has not applied for a permit, or the contractor has not followed the code or procedures, a stop work order can be issued. Once the final inspection is passed the job is complete and the owner can apply for a certificate of occupation, if required. Please see the accompanying application packets for a detailed description of the process. City staff and Bureau Veritas (BV) have had an initial meeting following BV's first month to review our processes and make minor adjustments. We will continue to monitor the process for areas of improvement.
