Agenda Item Text:

Docket R-20-04 (Permit Timeframes): An amendment to the Cochise County Zoning Regulations Article 17, Administration 

Background:

Docket R-20-04 is a proposed amendment to the Cochise County Zoning Regulations Article 17, Administration. Specifically, this amendment will adjust requirements contained in Section 1709.02-03 (Final Inspection Requirements and Time Limits), 1714.02 (Combined Permit Fees), and 1720.03 (Particular Temporary Uses Permitted). Section 1709 directly addresses the amount of time a permit is considered valid; Section 1714 is a combination of fee for waiver for select applications, while Section 1720 permits temporary on-site dwelling during construction.  
 
Staff recommends changes to these sections in order to: 
  • Provide consistency/reduced conflict between the requirements Cochise County Zoning Regulations and the 2012 International Building Code. 
  • Eliminate a non-equitable combined permit provision. 
  • Increase consistency and clarity within the Zoning Regulations regarding permit timeframes and how timeframes can be extended or renewed.  
  • Encourage completion of work associated with permits
