The City Council being mindful that the Citv of El Segundo has and in the future will have within its boundaries various large manufacturing and industrial concerns, whose intra -plant operations are complex and extensive, and which almost daily may involve some feature or features requiring the filing of applications, the payment of fees, the making of inspections, the issuance of related orders and approvals, - 1 - and of other matters covered by the Buildin,; Cole, Electrical Code and Plumbing Code of said City, therefore makes �he following provision after care- ful study and consideration for the issuance of annual comprehensive permits upon payment of annual comprehensive fees as hereinafter provided for. The provision herein made for 'Annual Comprehensive Per- mits' will not only avoid the delay, detail and con- fusion incident to the making of applications and the securing of permits on the part of such concerns under said various codes, but will also expedite construc- tion and business; will materially reduce the burden presently placed on municipal services to process applications and permits, etc.; will also provide the necessary safeguards and protection contemplated by such respective codes, and will furnish said City with revenues substantially equivalent to those which would otherwise be received under the regular permit fees established by and in such respective codes. Said Council does therefore hereby establish the following 'Annual Comprehensive Permit' and does hereby fix the 'Annual Comprehensive Fee' therefor as follows, to wit: Any person who complies with the rules relating thereto hereinafter set forth, whose subject property owned by him or in which he is substantially interested, is located in any M -2 zone (or in any portion of any M -1 zone located Easterly of Sepulveda Boulevard) as estab- lished under the zoning ordinances and regulations of the City, may make application for and have issued to such person an annual comprehensive permit which shall cover, as to the subject property or properties, all - 2 - matters requiring applications, permits or processing under the provisions of the Building Code, Plumbing Code, and Electrical Code of the City, for the period of any fiscal year (July lst to June 30th, both inclu- sive) or remaining fraction thereof. "RULES RELATING TO ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE PERIUTITS: (1) Written application therefor shall be made to the Building Inspector on forms provided by the City. (2) The basic minimum fee must accompany the ap- plication. (3) Applicant must agree to pay the 'Additional Fee' (above the designated 'Minimum Fee') hereinafter provided for immediately when determined. (4) Permittee must furnish at his own expense a qualified inspector to inspect all building, plumbing and electrical work on subject property or properties. Such inspector must be approved by the Building Inspector and will be deputized by him upon such approval. Such appointment of such deputy may be revoked by the Build- ing Inspector at any time, in which case a new inspector satisfactory to and approved by the Building Inspector must be furnished immediately, as in the first instance. (5) Deputized inspector must inspect all work on subject properties requiring municipal inspection to pro- vide compliance with applicable Code -regulations. (6) Deputized inspector must submit to Building Inspector at end of each quarter, a written statement certifying that all work performed during such quarter under the annual comprehensive permit, pursuant to which he is acting, conformed to the regulations of the appli- cable municipal codes. (7) The property or properties to which the annual comprehensive permit is to apply must be adequately - 3 - 5�.9 6�ii described in the application, by legal description, so that same may be accurately identified, and such permit shall apply only to such property or proper- ties which, for the purposes of convenience, may be referred to as the 'subject property'. "It shall not be necessary to either file or check plans for improvements on any subject property covered by a current valid 'Annual Comprehensive Per- mit', and which is actually in effect at the time the construction work thereon is being performed. FEES FOR 'ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE PERMITS': The fees to be paid to the City of El Segundo through the office of the Building Inspector for 'An- nual Comprehensive Permits' shall be determined, and the same are hereby fixed and established as follows: (1) A basic minimum fee which shall accompany the application shall be paid in the sum of :'100.00. (2) An additional fee of 6100 of 11/', of the in- creased assessed valuation of IMPROVEMENTS ONLY on the subject property, determined as hereinafter provided, shall be paid within ten days after the determination of the amount of such increase. In determining the amount of the additional fee to be paid hereunder, the assessed valuation of the improve- ments upon the subject property, as shown on the assess- ment records on file in the office of the County Assessor of Los Angeles County, California, shall be ascertained as of the date upon which the initial permit is issued covering any particular subject property; and in case of renewal permits, as of the first day of July of each year. There shall then be ascertained, as soon as the records in the office of said County Assessor are - 4 - r available for such purpose, the assessed valuation of IM- PROVEMENTS ONLY on the subject property, as shown or said records at the end of the fiscal year covered by the permit. The difference between said two figures so obtained shall be determined and the rate of 6100 of to provided for in para- graph (2) above shall be applied to such difference if such dif- ference represents an increase in such assessed valuation. In the event there are no improvements on the subject property as of the date of the issuance of the initial permit, or as of the lst day of July in the case of a renewal permit, then said rate OP 6/100 of 1% shall be applied to the assessed value of the IMPROVEMENTS ONLY, at the end of the fiscal year covered by such permit, as reflected on said records. The amount of such addi- tional annual fee shall in all cases be computed and determined by applying the rate actually specified in this section and which is in effect hereunder at the end of the fiscal year, re- gardless of the fact that a different rate or rates may have been specified in this section during a portion or portions of such fiscal year. "Annual renewal of such permits shall be made on ap- plication filed substantially as in the first instance and upon payment of like annual fees. In making provision for the 'ANNUAL C0DTPREHENSIVE PER- HITS' herein contemplated, the Council wishes to announce that in the evert attempts are made to take any undue advantage of the convenient methods so provided for minimizing the incon- venience and time involved under ordinary procedures, the Coun- cil will be disposed to in such case repeal this section. In the event any such permittee shall refuse or fail: (1) to observe, abide by and conform to the condi- tions, regulations and provisions, or any of them set forth in or contemplated by or under, this section; or - 5 - "(2) cooperate with the Building Inspector in matters covered by this section, and with reference to subjects governed by this Building Code and the Electrical Code and Plumbing Code of said City; then, and in any such event, the City Council reserves the right to revoke the permit held by such permittee under this section. Upon revocation of any such permit all rights of the permittee therein named, granted by such permit, shall immediately cease and terminate, and such permittee and the subject premises referred to there- in, shall thereupon be immediately subject to the pro- visions of this Building; Code, and to the provisions of said Electrical and Plumbing Codes, as fully and for all intents and purposes as though the permit under this Sec- tion 307, so revoked, had never been issued."
