(a) Any building or structure which has been wholly or partially erected on any premises located within the City shall not be moved to and be placed upon any other premises in the City until a building permit for such removal has been secured under Section 1262.03, Building Permits. Any such building or structure shall fully conform to this Zoning Code in the same manner as a new building or structure. No building or structure shall be moved into the City from outside the City limits.
(b) Before a permit may be issued for moving a building or structure, the Building Superintendent, the Director of Community Improvement and the Superintendent of Public Works shall inspect the same and determine if it is in a safe condition to be moved, whether or not it may be reconditioned to comply with the Building Code and other City requirements for the use and occupancy for which it is to be used, and whether or not it will be of similar character with the buildings in the area where it is to be moved. In addition, clearances shall be obtained from all utility companies ensuring that utilities are discontinued and all facilities accounted for. Special inspection fees may be charged to cover costs of inspecting the old site and the new site of such building or structure. If these conditions can be complied with, a building permit shall be issued for the moving of such building or structure. Such permit shall carry the verification of the Building Superintendent.
