(B) Permit for new use of land. No land heretofore vacant shall hereafter be used, or an existing use of land be hereafter changed to a use of a different class or type unless a building permit is first obtained for the new or different use and a certificate of compliance is issued upon completion.
(C) Permits for new use of buildings. No building or structure, or part thereof, shall be changed to or occupied by a use of a different class or type unless a certificate of compliance is first obtained for the new or different use.
(D) Permits required. No building or structure, or part thereof, shall be hereafter erected, altered, moved or repaired unless a building permit has been first issued for such work. The terms ALTERED and REPAIRED shall include any changes in structural parts, stairways, type of construction, type, class or kind of occupancy, means of egress and ingress, or other changes affecting or regulated by this chapter, except for minor repairs or changes not involving any of the aforesaid features.
(E) Building setback inspection. Holders of building permits issued for the construction of a new structure or expansion of an existing structure that requires a foundation shall contact the Code Enforcement Officer before the foundation is constructed and request a foundation inspection. The purpose of the inspection is to verify the building is built in accordance with the construction plan location and that all setbacks are satisfied. The Code Enforcement Officer shall be notified 72 hours before construction of permanent footings. A certificate of compliance may be withheld if the structure does not comply with setback requirements and the building permit holder did not request the building setback inspection.
