Section 1. The Ranchos . Palos Verdes Municipal Code
and the Building Code are hereby amended by adding Section
8102 to the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code to read:
"Section 8102. Amendment re Buildin Permits
and Certificates of Occupancy.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8100
the Building Code is hereby amended by amending sub-
section (c) of Section 304 thereof to read:
' (c) Approvals Required. No work shall be done
on any part of the building or structure beyond the
point indicated in each successive inspection without
first obtaining the written approval of the Building
Official. Such written approval shall be given only
after an inspection shall have been made of each suc-
cessive step in the construction as indicated by each
of the inspections required in Subsection (d) .
There shall be a final inspection and approval
on all buildings when completed and ready for occu-
pancy, provided, however, that no such approval shall
be given as to any new dwelling unit, new commercial
building or new industrial building as to which a
Certificate of Occupancy is required under the provi-
sions of Section 306 of this Code until there has
been full compliance with all requirements of this
Code and of Chapter 7 of Article VI of the Rancho
Palos Verdes Municipal Code, including the require-
ment for payment of the environmental excise tax
provided for therein. Upon such compliance the final
inspection approval and Certificate of Occupancy shall
be issued concurrently by the Building Official. ' "
Section 2 . The City of Rancho Palos Verdes has
recently become incorporated on September 7, 1973. Numerous
dwelling units and other buildings are presently under construc-
tion or construction thereof is imminent. The immediate estab-
lishment of requirements for Certificates of Occupancy to be
issued concurrently with final inspection approvals for all
such buildings presently under construction is essential to
the preservation of the public peace, health, safety and wel-
fare by reason of the above facts and the fact that the occu-
pancy of additional buildings without provision for alleviation
of the environmental impact therefrom will adversely affect the
quality of life, environment and ecology within the City,
increase the pollution of air and water and overburden the
public facilities of the City. The City has not yet been able
to complete a general plan and accordingly at present is
unable to utilize the provisions of the Quimby Act. This
Ordinance is essential for the effectiveness of Ordinance 14
and Ordinance 14 U. This ordinance is therefore an urgency
ordinance necessary for the immediate preservation of the
public peace, health, safety and welfare and shall take
effect immediately.
