No occupied or vacant land shall be changed in its use in whole or part until the Certificate of Zoning Compliance shall have been issued by the Community Development Coordinator. The Community Development Coordinator shall issue a Certificate of Zoning Compliance once he/she is satisfied that the structure, building and/or premises, the proposed use thereof, and the proposed methods of water supply and disposal of sanitary waste, conform with all requirements of the Planning and Zoning Code, subject to approval of the Planning and Zoning Board and/or Village Council, when required. This Section shall not be construed as requiring a certificate in the event of a change in ownership or tenancy only, without a change in use or intended use, provided that no alterations or additions are proposed.
(a) Use Prohibited Without Certificate. No owner, lessee or tenant shall use or permit the use of any structure, building or land, or part thereof, hereafter created, erected, changed, converted or enlarged, wholly or partly, until a Certificate of Zoning Compliance shows that such building or premises or a part thereof, and the proposed use thereof, are in conformity with the provisions of the Planning and Zoning Code.
(b) Building Permit. It is the responsibility of the owner to contact Licking County Building Code Department to ascertain whether a building permit is necessary. The applicant shall comply with all Licking County Building Code Department requirements and shall provide the Office of the Community Development Coordinator with a copy of such documentation. Building permits and all construction inspections are controlled through the Licking County Building Code Department. No Building Permit for the extension, erection, or alteration of any building shall be issued before an application has been made and a Certificate of Zoning Compliance issued and no building shall be occupied until such certificate is approved.
(c) Approval of Health Officer. In every case where the lot is not serviced with public water supply and/or the public sanitary sewer system, the application shall be accompanied by written evidence of approval by the responsible Health Officer as to the proposed method of water supply and/or treatment and disposal of sanitary waste.
(d) Water and Sewer. Water taps and sewer capacity fees shall be paid before a Certificate of Zoning Compliance is issued.
