proposed use of the building and land comply with all ordinances, includinc
the provisions of this ordinance. Any use or occupancy without the
issuance of such a certificate by the Director of Inspections and Permits.
shall be considered a violation of the provisions of this ordinance. No
change of use shall be made in any building, parking lot or part thereof
• now or hereafter erected or structurally altered or enlarged that does not

of Use and Occupancy as soon as possible after verification of a
written application therefor, on request; to any person having a
proprietary or tenancy interest in the building affected.
aException: Upon written application, provisional approval for
temporary use and occupancy of completed portions of a building or
structure which are free from construction activity, equipment and
materials, and which portions are specified on the application and
approval form, may be issued for designated periods of time, provided
that:
a. those portions to be used or occupied, the means of ingress
and egress, and fire separation or equivalent protection have been
completed in compliance with all applicable ordinances and the required
ingress and egress are separate from and will not be obstructed because
of construction work.
b. the temporary use'and occupancy requirements of the Building
Code are satisfied.
c. a covenant shall be executed and recorded against property
0 obligating the developer to achieve compliance with all codes and
ordinances within a designated period of time, which may exceed the period
designated for the provisional occupancy permit, but may not exceed one
(1) year. The Director of Inspections and Permits may also require an
independent, financial guarantee that to bring the property in compliance
with all codes and ordinances work will be completed.
This provisional approval is not equivalent to, and does not replace
a Certificate of Use and Occupancy, and issuance of such approval does
not, in and of itself, entitle an applicant to obtain issuance of a
certificate at a later time. A Certificate of Use and Occupancy must
be issued before any building or structure may be occupied in its entirety."
SECTION 2: This Ordinance is intended to and shall be in addition to
all other ordinances, rules and regulations concerning
Certificates of Use and Occupancy and shall not be construed as repealing or
rescinding any other ordinance or part of any ordinance unless in direct conflict
