Occupancy of any building in a subdivision will not be allowed until and after final approval of improvements required by section 18.20.270 is given; provided, however, that where the director, the director of public works, the director of water supply, the sanitary engineer and other involved officials are satisfied that there will be no detriment to the public health, safety or general welfare, and an occupancy permit has been issued, buildings may be occupied prior to final approval of improvements required by section 18.20.270. (Ord. 789 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 11-1.18(d))

A. When a building or a group of buildings forming a singular development is contemplated in two or more contiguous lots in a manner that the common boundary line is disregarded, or when any one of the lots is substandard in size or width, then a consolidation map shall be filed prior to the issuance of a building permit. Improvements shall not be required for the approval of the consolidation; provided, however, should the consolidation be followed by a resubdivision establishing more lots than in existence prior to the consolidation, then improvements according to this title shall be required.

B. The director may approve the building permit should the preliminary consolidation plat conform basically to the requirements of the final plat; revisions to the consolidation plat for strict conformance of the final plat shall be made by the subdivider and filed with and approved by the director prior to the occupancy of the building.
