As Substituted:

-          Removes creation of a new Section 320.202 concerning commercially leased parcels which required a Building Confirmation letter before an owner could lease or rent a commercial property

-          Amends Section 656.152 (Certificates of use application and fee) to require a Tenant Affirmation and Acknowledgment and a Landlord Affirmation and Acknowledgment for leased property which will assist the tenant to make an informed decision before entering into a lease which may require costly improvements to get the type of use the tenant ultimately wants.

-          Attaches the Tenant Affirmation and Acknowledgement and the Landlord Affirmation and Acknowledgement forms

 

 

 

BILL SUMMARY         NCSPHS:  Sub/Re-refer

Approve 6-1 to substitute and re-refer (CM Schellenberg in opposition)

CM Morgan was in attendance to discuss this bill which  applies to Certificate of Use applications and fees. The bill sponsor believes the City should better inform business owners and property owners of any required improvements, updates or changes to a commercial property when it is converted from one use to another in advance of persons having to expend additional costs to comply with state and local Building and Fire Code requirements. With the substitute, Certificate of Use applications will include a tenant affirmation and acknowledgement and a landlord affirmation and acknowledgement.
