A.

Title. This chapter may be cited as the "self-certification program for plan review."

B.

Overview and purpose. The self-certification program for plan review (the "SC program") is hereby implemented to establish an alternate method for building permit plan review and approval. The SC program offers persons or entities who plan to apply for a building permit for residential, commercial or industrial projects the option to use plan review services of certain private-sector approved professionals (as defined below). The development services department will accept certifications as to Building Code compliance by such approved professionals, in lieu of such services by the development services department staff, except in situations where there is concern as to whether a particular application should be approved or if the development services department determines that a particular application merits staff review before issuing a building permit.
