§ 8112-6. Issuance of residential permits and application for building permits.

From time to time, as it appears to the Planning Director that the provisions of Section 8112-4 would no longer prohibit the issuance of Residential Permits with respect to one or more lots or reserved spaces at the top of the waiting lists, the Planning Director shall mail the Residential Permits to the addresses indicated for such purpose on the applications for listing. The Planning Director shall mail such permits so that within each calendar year, to the fullest extent possible, 50 percent of the lots and reserved spaces to which they relate are listed on Waiting List A and 50 percent are listed on Waiting List B; provided that, if it appears as of December 1 of any calendar year that either list is not long enough to use up its allocation within that calendar year, the Planning Director shall make such unused allocation available to the other list by mailing the Residential Permits in December of that year. The Residential Permit shall state that unless the current record owner of the lot or reserved space submits to the Building Official of the County an acceptable application for a building permit within the time period specified in this Section, the lot or reserved space shall be stricken from the waiting list and the Residential Permit shall expire. If the Residential Permit pertains to a reserved space, it shall further state that, prior to applying for a building permit, the record owner must submit to the Planning Director in compliance with Section 8112-5.2.2 a form specifying the particular lot to be listed in the reserved space. The application for a building permit shall be completed in a manner acceptable to the Building Official. The time period for submitting an acceptable application for a building permit shall be the 90 calendar days following the day on which the Residential Permit is deposited in the mail; provided, however, that for good cause shown prior to the expiration of such 90-day period, the Building Official may extend such period for an additional period not to exceed 90 calendar days. Any decision to grant or deny such an extension shall be final and conclusive when announced by the Building Official. If the current record owner of the lot or reserved space does not submit an acceptable application for a building permit within such 90-day period or any extension thereof, the lot or reserved space shall be stricken from the waiting list and the Residential Permit shall expire. If the current record owner of the lot does submit an acceptable application for a building permit within such 90-day period or any extension thereof, the date on which such application was accepted by the Building Official shall be marked thereon.
