It shall be unlawful to move, or cause to be moved, any building or other structure in the city, on, over, or along any public street, alley, easement, right-of-way, sidewalk, road, or highway (“public right-of-way”) therein, without the owner and moving contractor thereof first having secured from the public works director a permit in writing so to do, and which permit shall be in addition to any permit otherwise required by the provisions of this code. The director shall not issue such a permit if, in the director’s discretion, the granting of such permit would be detrimental to the best interests of the city or damaging to any public right-of-way, bridge, trees, shrubs, or private or public utilities or facilities. Furthermore, the director shall have the power and authority to grant a permit upon such terms and conditions as may be deemed, in the director’s discretion, reasonably necessary to impose in order to properly and adequately protect all public and private interests affected thereby.
