(A) Certificate required. No change of tenant or use within the NB, CB or Downtown Overlay Districts shall be allowed without a certificate of compliance with safety codes (“certificate of compliance”). The certificate of compliance will enable the City Planning Department to determine compliance with Building, Fire, Plumbing, Electric or other applicable city codes. This certificate is required for all existing development, new construction, alterations, expansions and conversions whether owner- or renter-occupied.
(B) Pre-existing uses. The initial certificate of compliance for subject properties shall be obtained within 12 months of the adoption of this ordinance.
(C) Living area. Each single-family and multifamily dwelling unit shall have separate and individual kitchen and bathroom facilities unless as specified in § 7.21.
(D) Exemptions. Single- or two-family residences that are intended to remain only as single- or two-family use are exempt and not required to obtain a certificate of compliance.
