issuance of related orders and approvals, and of other
matters covered by the Building Code, Electrical Code and
- 1 -
L
311,58
Plumbing Code of said City, therefore makes the following
provision after careful 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 confusion
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 construction and business;
will materially reduce the burden presently placed on
municipal services to process applications and permits,
etc., and will also provide the necessary safeguards and
protection contemplated by 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 matters re-
quiring applications, permits or processing under the pro-
visions of the Building Code, Plumbing Code, and Electrical
Code of the City, for the full period of one year from and
including the date of issuance of such permit.
RULES RELATING TO ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE PERMITS:
(1) Written application therefor shall be made to
the Building Inspector on forms provided by the City.

cation.
(2) The basic minimum fee must accompany the appli-
(3) Applicant must agree to furnish the required
information from its books and records and to pay the
'Additional Fee' (above the designated 'Minimum Feet)
hereinafter provided for on or before the 20th day follow-
ing the end of the permit year.
(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 ap-
pointment of such deputy may be revoked by the Building
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 cer-
tifying that all work performed during such quarter under
the annual comprehensive permit, pursuant to which he is
acting, conformed to the regulations of the applicable
municipal codes.
(7) The property or properties to which the an-
nual comprehensive permit is to apply must be adequately
described in the application, by legal description, so
that same may be accurately identified, and such permit
shall apply only to such property or properties 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 Permit', 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 'Annual
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 2/100 of if of the actu-
al costs of improvements and additions made to the subject
property as shown on the permittee's books for such prop-
erty during the permit year covered by such permit shall
be paid to said City within the period of twenty (20)
days following the end of said permit year.
The amount of such additional 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 permit year, regardless of the
fact that a different value, rate or rates may have been
specified in this section during a portion or portions of
such permit 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 COMPREHENSIVE
PERMITS' herein contemplated, the Council wishes to an-
nounce that in the event attempts are made to take any
- 4 -

undue advantage of the convenient methods so provided
for minimizing the inconvenience and time involved under
ordinary procedures, the Council will be disposed to in
such case repeal this section.

In the event any such permittee shall refuse or
(1) to observe, abide by and conform to the
conditions, regulations and provisions,
or any of them set forth in, or contem-
plated by or under, this section; or
(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 therein, shall thereupon be
immediately subject to the provisions 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 Section 307, so revoked, had never been
issued."

ing Code" thereby adopted shall be and the same are hereby amended
