"ARTICLE IV - MOVING BUILDINGS. "
"Sec. 7. 75. Permit required -- Conditions for issuance and
denial. It shall be unlawful for any person to move a building,
structure or garage over, upon or along any street to a location
within the corporate limits of the City of El Segundo, or to per-
form any part of such moving work, unless the building or the
garage has first been examined and posted in the manner in this
Article hereinafter required, and a permit in writing so to do
for each and every separate moving operation has been applied
for and obtained from the building inspector. Nothing herein
shall be deemed applicable to the moving of a structure from one
location on a lot to another location on the same lot.
"Before a house moving permit is issued, the persons pro-
posing to do such work shall pay to the City of E1 Segundo fees
as hereinafter required and shall complete an application form
furnished by the building inspector and shall set forth such infor-
mation thereon as the building inspector may reasonably require,
in order to carry out the purposes of this Article. Said building
inspector shall then cause to be made an examination of the build-
ing or structure proposed to be moved, and the location to which
it is proposed to move the same, if such location is within the
City of El Segundo.
Na) Attached to said building permit shall be a sketch of
said building as it will look when finally placed upon the location
to which it is proposed to be moved, showing the type of plumbing
to be installed; the remodeling, if any to be done on the inside,
and if the roof requires replacing, the type and kind of roofing
material that will be used; and in addition to the foundation, the
permit shall state the type and kind of driveway to be installed
to the garage, if any; the type and kind of steps or porch to be
built both in front and back, electric wiring, and such other
requirements as the building inspector may require in order to
bring said building up to the minimum community standards,

both in structure and appearance. Provided, further, that if
there is a garage in connection with the house, that the said
permit shall also specify the same general requirements as
set forth for the house. Said improvements outlined above
shall be completed within ninety days after the date of issu-
ance of the house moving permit.
"The applicant for a moving permit shall at the time of
making said application, file with the building inspector a full
and complete certified copy(s) of the building permit(s) previ-
ously issued for said building.
"(b) No permit shall be issued to move and relocate any
building or structure within the City of El Segundo which is so
constructed or in such condition as to be dangerous; or which
is infested with pests or is unsanitary; or which, if it be a dwell-
ing or habitation, is unfit for human habitation; or which is so
dilapidated, defective, unsightly or is in such a condition of
deterioration or disrepair that its location at the proposed site
would cause appreciable harm to or be materially detrimental
to the property or improvements on both sides of the street
within three hundred feet of the proposed location; or if the
proposed use is prohibited by the zoning laws of this city; or
if the structure is of a type otherwise prohibited at the pro-
posed location by any other law or ordinance; or if the pro-
posed moving or relocation would violate any other law or
code or violate or disturb the public safety, welfare or peace.
Provided, however, that if the condition of the building or struc-
ture, in the reasonable judgment of the building inspector, admits
of practical and effective repair and its proposed moving or reloca-
tion does not violate any law or ordinance, said inspector may
issue a permit for such moving and relocation upon condition as
hereinafter provided and complying with the other provisions of
this Article. The building inspector shall, in granting any per-
mit, impose thereon such terms and conditions as he may deem
reasonable and proper, including, but not limited to, the require-
ments of changes, alterations, additions, or repairs to be made
to or upon the building or structure, set forth in (a), to the end
that the moving or relocation thereof will not be materially detri-
mental or injurious to public safety or to public welfare or to
the property and improvements, or either, in the area, as herein -
above limited, to which it is to be moved. The terms and condi-
tions upon which any permit may be granted shall be written upon
the permit or attached in writing thereto.
"Sec. 7. 76. Application for permit. Any person desiring
such a permit shat m e a-written application therefor to the build-
ing inspector. The aforesaid application shall include the informa-
tion that must be stated in the permit as more fully set forth in Sec-
tion 7. 75.
"Sec. 7. 77. Examination of buildi -- Posting notice. Upon
receiving an application for a permit to move a building, the build-
ing inspector shall make an examination of the building described
in the application and shall examine the proposed location. If it
shall be found that no ordinance or law will be violated and that the
public welfare, safety or peace will not be endangered, he shall
cause a notice to be posted on the front of the building which is
desired to be moved. Said notice shall also state the location
of the house by street and number, and the location of the lot or
land to which it is proposed to move said building, together with
the name of the applicant.

"Sec. 7. 78. Bond. (A) REQUIRED. Anything herein to
the contrary notwi tf sfan-aing, no house moving permit shall be
issued unless the applicant therefor shall first post with the build-
ing inspector a bond executed by the owner of the premises where
the building or structure is to be located, as principal and by a
surety company authorized to do business in this state, as surety.
Such bond shall be subject to the approval of the city attorney as
to form and, in the event of such approval, shall be filed with the
building inspector.
"The bond, which shall be in form joint and several, shall
name the City of E1 Segundo as obligee, and shall be in an amount
equal to twice the cost of the work required to be done in order to
comply with all of the conditions of the house moving permit, as
estimated by the building inspector, and not less than two thousand
five hundred dollars. In lieu of a surety bond, the applicant may
post a bond executed by said owner, as principal, which is secured
by a deposit of cash in the amount named above and conditioned as
required in the case of a surety bond; such as so executed is herein-
after called a "cash bond" for the purpose of this section.
"(B) CONDITIONS. Every bond posted pursuant to this sec-
tion shall be conditioned as follows:
(1) That each and all of the terms and conditions of this
Article and of the house moving permit shall be complied with to
the satisfaction of the building inspector.
(2) That all of the work required to be done pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this house moving permit shall be fully per-
formed and completed, within ninety days after the date of the issu-
ance by the building inspector of the house moving permit. The
time limit herein specified or the time limit specified in any per-
mit, may be extended for good and sufficient cause by the building
inspector.
"No such extension of time shall be valid unless written and
no such extension shall release any surety upon any bond.
"(C) DEFAULT IN PERFORMANCE. Whenever the building
inspector shall find that a default has occurred in the performance
of any term or condition of any permit, written notice thereof shall
be given to the principal and to the surety on the bond. Such notice
shall state the work to be done, the estimated cost thereof and the
period of time deemed by the building inspector to be reasonably
necessary for the completion of such work. After receipt of such
notice the surety must, within the time limit therein specified,
either cause the required work to be performed or, failing therein,
must pay to the building inspector twice the estimated cost of doing
the work, as set forth in the notice. Upon the receipt of such money,
the city shall proceed by such mode as it deems convenient, to cause
the required work to be performed and completed, but no liability
shall be incurred therein other than for the expenditure of said sum
of money in hand therefor.
"If a cash bond has been posted, notice of default as provided
above, shall be given to the principal, and if compliance is not had
within the time specified, the city shall proceed without delay and
without further notice of proceedings whatever, to use the cash
deposit, or any portion of such deposit, to cause the required work
to be done, by contract or otherwise, in the discretion of the city.
The balance, if any, of such cash deposit shall, upon the comple-
-3-
tion of the work be returned to the depositor, or to his suc-
cessors or assigns, after deducting the cost of the work, plus
fifteen per cent thereof, to cover cost of supervision and direc-
tion of work of completion.
(D) OPTION TO DEMOLISH. When any default has
occurred, on the part of the principal under the preceding pro-
visions, the surety shall have the option, in lieu of completing
the work required, to demolish the building or structure, and
to clear, clean and restore the site, within ninety days of said
default. If the surety defaults, the city shall have the same
option.
"(E) TERM. The term of each bond posted pursuant to
this section shall begin upon the date of the posting thereof and
shall end upon the completion, to the satisfaction of the building
inspector, of the performance of all the terms and conditions of
the house moving permit. Such completion shall be evidenced
by a statement thereof, signed by the building inspector, a copy
of which will be sent to any surety or principal upon request.
When a cash bond has been posted, the cash shall be returned
to the depositor, or to his successors or assigns, upon the ter-
mination of the bond, except any portion thereof that may have
been used or deducted as elsewhere in this section provided.
"(F) ACCESS. The building inspector, the surety, and the
duly authorized representatives of either, shall have access to
the premises described in the house moving permit for the pur-
pose of inspecting the progress of the work. In the event of any
default in the performance of any term or condition of the house
moving permit with reference to the relocation of a structure,
the surety, or any person employed or engaged on its behalf,
or the building inspector, or any person employed or engaged on
his behalf, shall have the right to go upon the premises to com-
plete the required work or to remove or demolish the building
or structure. It shall be unlawful for the owner, or his represen-
tatives, successors, or assigns or any other person, to interfere
with or obstruct the ingress to or egress from any such premises
of any authorized representative or agent of any surety or of the
city engaged in the work of completing, demolishing or removing
any building or structure for which a house moving permit has
been issued, after a default has occurred in the performance of
the terms or conditions thereof.
"Sec. 7. 79. Permit fees -- Compliance with other regulations.
Every applicant desiring a permit for the relocation of a building
shall, with his application, pay to the City of E1 Segundo the sum of
fifty dollars as an inspection fee.
"The house moving permit shall be subject to compliance with
all requirements of the Vehicle and Traffic Code provisions and other
regulations of the City.
"Sec. 7. 80. Appeal. Such applicant, or any person who may
feel aggrieved by any- ruling or action of the building inspector, may
appeal to the City Council within ten days for a hearing thereon,
whereupon said City Council shall hear the same and make its final
determination of the matter in accordance with the information pre-
sented. "

No. 616 are hereby repealed.
