The Administrative Code is amended by adding a new Section 311 to read as follows:
Section 311 - Special Housing Inspections.
311.1 General. Whenever an addition has been made to a Group R, Division 3 Occupancy for which no permit was obtained or for which no record of permit exists in city records, the owner or the owner’s authorized agent may request that a Special Housing Inspection be performed for the purpose of determining what additional actions, if any, are necessary in order to enter the addition into city records.
311.2 Application and Fee. To obtain a Special Housing Inspection the applicant shall first file an application therefor in writing on a form furnished by the Code Enforcement Agency for the purpose and shall pay the fee established by the City Council of the City of Monrovia.
311.3 Limitations and Applicability. A Special Housing Inspection is not a building permit and shall not be construed as such. As a result of a Special Housing Inspection, it may be necessary to obtain a building permit or other permits in order to enter the addition for which the Special Housing Inspection was performed into city records. Fees for such permits shall be as established by Section 304.2.
EXCEPTION: Where fees are based on value or valuation, a value equal to one-half the value or valuation as established under the provisions of Section 304.2 may be used, provided, however, that the value or valuation resulting therefrom shall not be less than $500.00.
