The demolition of all commercial structures shall require a permit consistent with the provisions of Chapter 1137 and shall additionally conform with the following:
(a) The Director of Building and Zoning shall have a maximum of thirty-five days in which to consult with the Planning Commission and approve or conditionally approve an application for a demolition permit.
(b) Due to the existence of historical structures, the demolition of structures located within C-1 and C-2 zoning districts situated along Grandview Avenue between First Avenue on the south and the corporation line on the north, as well as along the entire length of First Avenue, shall require the review of the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission shall approve or conditionally approve an application for demolition.
(c) (1) For all structures other than one-, two-, or three-family dwellings or associated accessory structures, a demolition permit may be issued only after affidavits have been submitted by the applicant and placed on file with the Director of Building and Zoning attesting to the fact that 25%, either by weight or by volume, of the resultant demolition debris shall be recycled. Waste that would be considered a hazardous material shall be excluded in from such percentage. Final inspections shall only be approved after the Director of Building and Zoning receives and approves a final analysis showing compliance with this section. Appeals to this requirement shall be heard by the Planning Commission.
(2) A licensed disposal or transfer facility shall be used for all non-recycled waste and a final analysis shall be provided prior to the final approval of the demolition permit indicating the percentage of recycling achieved and method and materials used. This provision shall not apply to emergency demolitions as required under this building code.
(d) The department-registered demolition contractor shall call for a final inspection upon completion of the demolition.
