Board passes code changes; DBI to implement fee increases and amnesty window for awnings

Aug 16, 2023

DBI staff briefed commissioners on multiple ordinances affecting permitting: an awnings amnesty (fee waivers) effective Aug. 19, a site-permit interdepartmental-review requirement and a 15% DBI fee increase that both take effect Aug. 28, and pending business-sign and development-impact-fee ordinances headed to final votes in September.

The full story

Carl Necedah, DBI's Legislative Affairs Manager, updated the Building Inspection Commission on several recently passed and pending ordinances. He said a planning-and-building-code ordinance creating a temporary amnesty program for unpermitted awnings (with streamlined applications and fee waivers) was signed July 20 and takes effect Aug. 19; a related duplicate ordinance will take effect Aug. 28 and will be the official kickoff date for the amnesty program.
