§ 119-9. Certificate required.

A. 

From the effective date of this article, no premises or portion of premises in a commercial or industrial zone shall be used, rented, rerented or sold and thereafter occupied by a new tenant or owner without application having first been made to the Township of Logan, Code Enforcement Department, for a certificate of occupancy. No temporary certificate of occupancy shall be issued. A certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Code Enforcement Officer upon his determination that all state, county and township code conditions have been complied with concerning fire and environmental safety protection and that necessary provisions for special equipment to combat any potential hazard shall have been made.

B. 

Upon receipt of any application for a certificate of occupancy, the Code Enforcement Officer shall review same with the Township Fire Marshal, Board of Health Chairman and Township Engineer, if necessary. To accomplish said reviews by appropriate officials, the Township of Logan shall have up to 10 days to either issue or deny a certificate of occupancy. If, after such ten-day period, the applicant has not been notified of the approval or denial of its application, then the application shall be deemed to have been approved.

C. 

Should an applicant be denied a certificate of occupancy, then, an appeal to the Township Council shall be filed within 10 business days of such denial, at which time a hearing and determination will be made by Council. Council may take up to 14 calendar days to render its determination.
