and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows, to wit:
"SECTION 307. 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."

"Building Code" thereby adopted shall be and the same are here-
by amended as hereinabove in Section 1 of this ordinance set
