Section 305, and the title precedent thereto, is added to the Uniform Housing Code, as it applies in Chula Vista, which section shall read as follows:

Housing Permit Fees – Residential Rental Units, Apartment Houses, Boarding or Lodging Houses, Hotels/Motels, or Single Room Occupancy Residences.

Section 305.1 The fee for a housing permit required by Section 304 of this code shall be as presently designated, or as it may hereafter be amended, as set forth in the master fee schedule of the City of Chula Vista.

For the purpose of this section, a “unit” shall mean each rental dwelling in an apartment house or single room occupancy residence, each sleeping room in a hotel, motel, and boarding or lodging house, and each rental dwelling unit and each hotel/motel sleeping room in a building containing both apartments and hotel/motel sleeping rooms.

Separate residential rental dwelling units and separate hotel/motel buildings, or combination thereof, located upon a single parcel of land or contiguous parcels of land, under the same ownership, shall be treated as one residential rental building, or hotel/motel, for the purpose of computing the fee prescribed by this section.

Section 305.2 Penalty for Delinquent Payment. If the housing permit is not paid on or before the thirtieth day of the month following the date when it became due, then a penalty in an amount equal to twenty-five percent of the permit fee due and payable shall be added thereto, and no such permit shall be issued until such penalty has been paid.

Section 305.3 The building Development Services Director shall cause to be made such inspections, at such intervals, as shall be deemed necessary to insure compliance with the provisions of this code.
