(A) Plat to accompany application. An application for a building permit shall be filed in writing with the designated city official and shall be accompanied by a plat, in duplicate, drawn to scale showing the actual dimensions of the lot or plot to be built upon, the size, shape and location of the building to be erected, existing buildings (if any) and areas for parking. The plat shall be prepared by and bear the seal of a surveyor registered with the state. The designated city official shall keep a careful record of the applications and plats.
(B) Compliance with Zoning Code required. No application for a building permit or other permit or license, or for a certificate of occupancy, shall be approved by the designated city official or his or her designee, and no permit or license shall be issued by any other city department, which would authorize the use or change in use of any land or building contrary to the provisions of the Zoning Code or the erection, moving, alteration, enlargement or occupancy of a building designed or intended to be used for a purpose or in a manner contrary to the provisions of the Zoning Code.
(C) Buildings under construction. Where a building permit for a building or structure has been issued in accordance with law prior to the effective date of the Zoning Code and provided that construction is begun within six months of the date of the building permit and diligently prosecuted to completion, the building or structure may be completed in accordance with the approved plans on the basis of which the building permit has been issued and, further, may, upon completion, be occupied under a certificate of occupancy by the use for which it was originally designated, subject thereafter to the provisions of Chapter 1252 of the Zoning Code.
