1-7(B)(1)(b)   Satisfactory evidence that this IDO is not applicable to the lot upon which the building is to take place, either because the lot existed prior to the enactment of this IDO or any predecessor ordinances or because the lot is outside the jurisdiction of this IDO. If such evidence is provided, exemption from the IDO regulations shall only apply to the establishment of the lot and not any development on the lot.
1-7(B)(2)   Approval by the City Engineer that:
1-7(B)(2)(a)   The alteration of the natural topography, drainage pattern, and perviousness of any lot resulting from the intended construction and prior or planned site preparation complies with a previously submitted and approved drainage report and/or plan, or that no drainage report or plan is required.

1-7(B)(2)(c)   Adequate provision has been made for connection of the lot to water and sanitary sewer lines if these are necessary for reasonable use of the structure.
1-7(B)(2)(d)   Adequate easements and/or public right-of-way are in place for infrastructure improvements required by the City Engineer.
1-7(B)(2)(e)   All infrastructure improvements, including but not limited to sidewalks, curb and gutter, pavement, storm drain system, water and sewer, and any other improvements required by the City Engineer, have been constructed within easements or in the public right-of-way.

The Building Safety Division of the City Planning Department may issue building permits prior to completion of all improvements where sanitary sewer, water, and storm drainage facilities have been completed and other improvements are to be commenced within 6 months, but the City may require financial assurance for the completion of those improvements pursuant to Subsection 14-16-6-4(R) (Required Improvements and Financial Assurance).
