8.005 Construction --Administration.
(1) Scope and authorization to adopt rules and fees. The provisions of section 8.005, and the
regulations administratively adopted by the city manager as authorized by this section, shall serve as
administrative and enforcement rules for construction pursuant to chapter 8 of this code. Consistent
with section 2.019, the city manager is authorized to adopt regulations, procedures, forms,
interpretations, and written policies to implement the provisions of sections 8.005 through 8.010.
Pursuant to section 2.020, the city manager is authorized to adopt fees pertaining to the activities
authorized or required by sections 8.005 through 8.010.
(2) Purpose. The purpose of sections 8.005 through 8.010 is:
(a) To provide uniform performance standards providing reasonable safeguards for health, safety,
welfare, comfort and security, by regulating and controlling the design, construction, materials, use,
occupancy, location and maintenance of structures, buildings, and building service equipment; and
(b) To protect life and property from the hazards of fire, panic and explosion arising from

provisions of sections 8.005 through 8.010, any rules issued thereunder, and the technical codes.
(5) Modifications, waivers, and interpretations.
(a) Modifications and waivers. Wherever there are practical difficulties involved in carrying out
the provisions of the technical codes, the city manager may grant modifications for individual
cases, provided he/she shall first find that a special individual reason makes the strict letter of
the technical code impractical and that the modification is in conformity with the intent and
purpose of this code and the technical code. Where strict compliance would not meet the
intent of the technical code, the city manager may grant a waiver of a technical code
requirement. This subsection does not create a right to such waiver. A modification or waiver
Ordinance -Page 2 of 10
shall not be granted if doing so would create an unsafe or dangerous condition regarding fire
and life safety. The city manager's determination shall be final and not subject to appeal under
EC 2.021.
(b) Interpretations. The city manager may render interpretations of the technical code and
adopt policies and procedures in order to clarify the application of technical code provisions.
(6) Liability. Neither this code nor the technical code relieves or lessens the responsibility of any person
owning, operating, constructing or controlling any building, structure or premises for any damages to
persons or property caused by defects, nor shall the city or any of its agencies, officers, employees or
agents be held as assuming any such liability by reason of the inspections authorized by, or any permits
issued under this code or the technical codes.
(7) When permits required. Except as otherwise provided by regulation adopted by the city manager,
no change of occupancy of a building shall be made, no site may be cleared or graded, and no building,
structure or building service equipment regulated by sections 8.005 through 8.010 and the technical
codes shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, altered, repaired, moved, improved, removed, converted
or demolished unless a separate, appropriate permit for each building, structure, building service
equipment, or site has first been approved by the city. The limitations of ORS 455.020 notwithstanding,
permits are required to construct, alter, repair, move or demolish any structure as identified in sections
8.005 through 8.010 or the technical code except as exempted by a rule adopted by the city manager

regulations adopted by the city manager, and the required fees have been paid, the city manager
shall issue a permit to the applicant. Approved plans and specifications shall not be changed,
modified or altered without authorization from the city manager, and all work shall be done in
accordance with the approved plans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, the city

Ordinance -Page 3 of 10
(b) Partial permit issuance. The city manager may issue a permit for the construction of part of a
building, structure or building service equipment before the entire plans and specifications of the
whole building, structure or building service equipment have been submitted or approved,
provided adequate information and detailed statements have been filed complying with all
pertinent requirements of the technical code. The holder of such permit shall proceed at his/her
own risk without assurance that the permit for the entire building, structure or building service will
be granted.
(c) Validity of permit. The issuance of a permit or approval of plans, specifications and
computations shall not be construed to be a permit for, or an approval of, any violation of any of

ordinance or regulation of the city. Permits presuming to give authority to violate or cancel any of
those provisions shall not be valid. The issuance of a permit based upon plans, specifications and
other data shall not prevent the city manager from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in
said plans, specifications and other data, or from preventing building operations being carried on
thereunder when in violation of those provisions or of any other ordinances or regulations of the
city.

the city manager, every permit issued under the provisions of sections 8.050 through 8.010 shall
automatically expire by limitation and become null and void, if the building or work authorized by
such permit is not commenced within 360 days from the date of such permit, or if the building or
work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is
commenced for a period of 360 days, or if the owner or builder fails to call for an inspection at a
minimum every 360 days. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be obtained.
(e) Suspension or revocation of a permit. The city manager may suspend or revoke a permit issued
under the provisions of this section and the technical code whenever the permit was issued in error
or on the basis of incorrect information supplied, or that the issuance violates a city regulation.
(11) Inspections.
(a) All construction or work for which a permit is required shall be subject to city inspection and all
such construction or work shall remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes until
approved. The city manager shall specify, by administrative rule, the types and timing of
inspections.
(b) Approval as a result of an inspection shall not be construed to be an approval of a violation of
the provisions of sections 8.005 through 8.010, the technical code, or other regulations of the city.
Inspections presuming to give authority to violate or cancel such provisions shall not be valid.
(c) It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the work to remain accessible and exposed
for inspection purposes. Neither the city manager nor the city shall be liable for expense entailed in
the removal or replacement of any material required to allow inspection.
(d) A survey of the lot may be required by the city manager to verify that the structure is located in
accordance with the approved plans and ordinances and regulations of the city.
(e) Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection without first

any inspection authorized by this section. Should entry be refused, the city manager shall have
recourse to every remedy provided by law to secure entry, including the issuance of search
warrants.

when it is determined that the building or structure or portion thereof, or the use of a building or
structure or portion thereof is in violation of any ordinance or regulation or any provision of this
code or the technical code. Such denial, suspension or revocation may be appealed to a hearing

writing, of such disconnection immediately thereafter. The city manager shall thereupon place a notice
on the premises in a manner to reasonably apprise those coming on the property ofthe disconnection.
It shall be unlawful for any person to remove the notice of disconnection. The city manager shall
authorize reconnection of utility service when he/she is satisfied the condition which led to the
disconnection will be expeditiously corrected or is corrected.
