Section 15.64.280 Waiver of building permit fee.

Waiver of the building permit fee required by Section 15.04.020 of Chapter 15.04 of this code may be granted by the City Council for accurate restoration or authentic recreation of a historically significant building or historically significant other structure, which building or structure satisfies one or more of the criteria established by Section 15.64.100 of Chapter 15.64 of this code governing historic site preservation, provided the City's Building Commissioner determines the proposed construction is an accurate restoration or authentic recreation of a historically significant building or historically significant other structure that exists or heretofore existed on the proposed site. The Building Commissioner shall require the applicant to provide such documentation as the building commissioner reasonably deems necessary to validate the claim of historic significance of the subject building or structure.

Building permit fees shall not be waived for new construction which lacks sufficient proof the construction involves an accurate restoration or authentic recreation of a historically significant building or historically significant other structure, including failure to provide the required documentation to establish historic significance. Building permit fees shall not be waived for remodeling or erecting additions to historically significant buildings or historically significant other structures or for rehabilitation of historically significant buildings or historically significant structures which do not result in authentic restoration of the building or structure.
