§ 26-293. Certificate of compliance required; use and occupancy permit.

After the adoption of any regulations by the city and county legislative bodies as provided in this article, no building within the five-mile zone shall be altered, changed, built or rebuilt, nor shall any premises be used for any purpose until the owner, tenant, occupant or lessee thereof, shall receive from the building commissioner a certificate of compliance with the provisions of the regulations adopted pursuant to this article. Any owner, tenant, occupant or lessee, desiring to change the use of any premises, lot or tract of land from that to which it was devoted at the time of the passage of such regulations, or to build a new, or alter, or rebuild any old structure, shall apply in writing to the building commissioner for a permit which shall set forth the name of the occupant or proposed occupant, and description of the same with reference to all known boundaries, the use to which such premises has been put, and such other information as may be necessary to advise the building commissioner whether the provisions of the regulations adopted pursuant to the provisions of this article will be complied with. And on payment of the necessary fee, if any shall be fixed, it shall be the duty of the building commissioner to issue a use and occupancy permit to the occupant, if he shall find that all the provisions of the regulations adopted by the city and county legislative bodies have been or will be complied with by such occupant. If he shall find that any have not been or will not be complied with, he shall reject such applications and endorse thereon his reasons for such declination.
