,. 700 <br /> <br />ORDINANCE NO. NS- 2082 <br />PAGE TWO <br /> <br /> Any person who shall commence any work for which a <br />permit is required by this code without first having <br />obtained a permit therefor shall, if subsequently <br />permitted to obtain a permit, pay double the permit fee <br />fixed by this section for such work; provided, however, <br />that this provision shall not apply to emergency work <br />when it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the admini- <br />strative authority that such work was urgently necessary <br />and that it was not practical to obtain a permit therefor <br />before the commencement of the work. In all such cases, <br />a permit must be obtained as soon as it is practical to <br />do so, and if there be an unreasonably delay in obtaining <br />such permit, a double fee as herein provided shall be <br />charged. <br /> <br /> Applications for which no permit is issued within <br />180 days following the date of application shall expire <br />by limitation, and plans and other data submitted for <br />review may thereafter be returned to the applicant or <br />destroyed by the building official. The building official <br />may extend the time for action by the applicant for a <br />period not exceeding 180 days upon request by the <br />applicant showing that circumstances beyond the control <br />of the applicant have prevented action from being taken. <br />No application shall be extended more than once. In <br />order to renew action on an application after expiration, <br />the applicant shall resubmit plans and pay a new plan <br />review fee. <br /> <br />SECTION 3: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, <br />phrase or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to <br />be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of <br />competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the <br />validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City <br />Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would <br />have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sent- <br />ence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the <br />fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, <br />clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconsti- <br />tutional. <br /> <br />SECTION 4: Neither the adoption of this ordinance nor the <br />repeal hereby of any ordinance shall in any manner affect the <br />prosecution for violation of ordinances, which violations were <br />cc~mitted prior to the effective date hereof, nor be construed <br /> <br /> <br />
