On July 11, 2019 the City Council adopted an ordinance enhancing requirements for construction management and time limits for completion of construction. The ordinance is part of a comprehensive program to enhance construction management to reduce impacts to neighbors, reflecting the following key components:
- Requirement for on-site construction parking, unless otherwise authorized
- Requirement for screening of construction materials and portable toilets, unless otherwise authorized
- Required notice of construction to neighbors
- Shortened construction time limits
- Required public notice for time extensions for construction completion
- Authority for the Building Official to hire a third party independent inspector at the applicant’s cost for continuing violations.
