CITY OF SAN BERh.ARDINO - REQUEST . ~R COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
It has recently become apparent that changes need to be made
in the City's ordinances making the construction of a building
without a building permit either an infraction (as it is now) or
a misdemeanor. In addition it would be beneficial to provide that
the continuing of work after the issuance of a stop work order would
be a misdemeanor. The attached ordinance would make these changes.
URGENCY CLAUSE:
It is urgent that this ordinance change be enacted as soon as
possible in order to give the approparite staff the necessary tools
to enforce the building code requirements at the earliest possible
date and to provide the necessary teeth to such enforcement. Recent
events have shown that any delay in such actions is contrary to the
best interests of the City and its residents.
