This Zoning Ordinance shall be administered and enforced by a Zoning Inspector or his designated representative who shall be appointed by the Council of the Village of Obetz and is hereby empowered:
(a) Certificate of Zoning Compliance. To issue a Certificate of Zoning Compliance when these regulations have been followed or to refuse to issue the same in the event of noncompliance.
(b) Collection of Fees. To collect the designated fees as set forth in this Zoning Ordinance for Certificate of Zoning Compliance, application for amendment or changes, appeal and conditional use.
(c) Making and Keeping of Records. To make and to keep all records necessary and appropriate to the office, including record of the issuance and denial of all Certificates of Zoning Compliance and of receipt of complaints of violation of this Zoning Ordinance and action taken on the same.
(d) Inspection of Building or Land. To inspect any building or land to determine whether any violations of this Zoning Ordinance have been committed or exist.
(e) Enforcement. To enforce this Zoning Ordinance and take all necessary steps to remedy any condition found in violation by ordering in writing, the discontinuance of illegal uses or illegal work in progress, and may request the Law Director to commence appropriate action.
(f) Advisor to Planning and Zoning Commission. To keep the Planning and Zoning Commission advised of all matters to be addressed by the Commission pertaining to the enforcement of this Zoning Ordinance and to transmit all applications and records pertaining to supplements, amendments, conditional use permits, appeals, and variances.
(g) Administrative Variance. To grant administrative variances consistent with the guidelines established in Chapter 1135.
(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 this Zoning Code.
(1) The Zoning Inspector shall issue a Zoning Certificate provided 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 this Zoning Code, subject to approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or Council where the Zoning Code requires or deems appropriate.
(2) This section shall in no case 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 for such building.
(b) Building Permit. 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) Effect of Approval. Zoning Certificates issued on the basis of plans, information and application approved by the Planning and Zoning Administrator and/or Planning and Zoning Commission authorize only the use, arrangement and construction set forth in such approved plans, information and application or approved amendments thereto, and no other use, arrangement or construction. Use, arrangement and construction at variance with that authorized shall be deemed a violation of this Zoning Code and punished as provided in this chapter.
(d) Approval of Health Officer. In every case where the lot is not serviced with public water supply and/or the disposal of sanitary wastes by means of public water and sewers, the application shall be accompanied by written evidence of approval by the Franklin County Board of Health as to the proposed method of water supply and/or treatment and disposal of sanitary waste. (Ord. 69-14. Passed 1-12-15.)
