§ 12.08.080. Permit procedure for minor encroachment.

A separate application must be filed for each permit for a minor encroachment. Application for a permit to install a minor encroachment shall be filed in the office of the Director of Public Works. After filing of the application, the Director of Public Works shall have an investigation made of the site where the proposed encroachment would be installed. Such application shall be accompanied by a sketch or plan showing the dimensions and exact location of the proposed encroachment and its relationship to any structure, and/or the sidewalk area. A plan and elevations shall be required in all cases in addition to a brief written description of the encroachment. Fees shall be in accordance with the master fee schedule.

The Director of Public Works shall refer each application for a minor encroachment permit to the Director of city Planning for review and comment. If response or statement of delay is not received by the Director of Public Works within seven days, the approval of the Director of city Planning shall be assumed.

When such application for a minor encroachment permit and the details shown upon the accompanying sketch or plan have been reviewed by the Director of City Planning and comply with the terms of this title and any further requirements set by the Director of Public Works for public health, safety and appearance, the Director of Public Works shall approve the application. Such approval constitutes granting of a conditional revocable permit for minor encroachment and such permit shall remain in effect as long as the permittee complies with all conditions established for the granting of such permit. The permit shall become null and void upon the failure of the permittee to comply with any conditions established for the granting of such permit or upon termination by written notification from the Director of Public Works as being in the city's best interest.
