§ 95.13. SUSPENSION OF LOCAL BUILDING REGULATIONS.

The City Manager, or, if unavailable, the Acting City Manager, may authorize a suspension of local building regulations during and following a declared state of emergency when the Chief Building Official certifies to the City Manager, or, if unavailable, the Acting City Manager, that such action is necessary for the expeditious restoration of property damaged by the emergency event. Such suspension of building regulations may be applied on a case-by-case basis as required to remedy specific conditions and to facilitate the provision of emergency housing to disaster victims. The Chief Building Official shall specify the provisions of the building code to be suspended and the reasons therefore, when certifying the necessity of such suspension to the City Manager. The City Manager shall communicate to the City Commission the need to suspend local building regulations to the officials, in the order named in Section 95.05(A). The City Commission shall confirm the suspension pursuant to Section 95.05.
