A. Any commercial or industrial structure to be demolished or partially demolished thereto will require a certificate of insurance showing that said person is insured for the demolishing or removing in the amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00), insuring the city for any damage as a result of demolition or partially demolishing any commercial or industrial building within the city limits. The applicant may petition the City Council for this requirement to be waived or the amount of insurance be reduced.
B. For all non-commercial and non-industrial structures to be demolished or partially demolished thereto, the chief building official or his or her authorized designee shall make the determination if any amount of insurance, insuring the city for any damage as a result of demolition or partial demolition, is required before the permit is approved. The chief building official or his or her authorized designee must provide in writing, specific reasoning as to why insurance is required. The applicant may petition the City Council for this requirement to be waived or the amount of insurance be reduced. (Ord. 1228, 12-20-2021)
