<br /> Start of construction. The date of issuance of permits for new construction and substantial
<br /> improvements, provided the actual start of construction, repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation,
<br /> addition, placement, or other improvement is within 180 days of the date of the issuance. The
<br /> actual start of construction means either the first placement of permanent construction of a building
<br /> (including a manufactured home) on a site, such as the pouring of slab or footings, the installation
<br /> of piles, or the construction of columns.
<br /> Permanent construction does not include land preparation(such as clearing, grading, or filling),
<br /> the installation of streets or walkways, excavation for a basement, footings, piers, or foundations,
<br /> the erection of temporary forms or the installation of accessory buildings such as garages or sheds
<br /> not occupied as dwelling units or not part of the main buildings. For a substantial improvement,
<br /> the actual "start of construction" means the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor or other
<br /> structural part of a building, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the
<br /> building. [Also defined in FBC, B Section 202.]
<br /> Substantial damage. Damage of any origin sustained by a building or structure whereby the cost
<br /> of restoring the building or structure to its before-damaged condition would equal or exceed 50
<br /> percent of the market value of the building or structure before the damage occurred. [Also defined
<br /> in FBC, B Section 202.]
<br /> Substantial improvement. Any combination of repair, reconstruction, rehabilitation, alteration,
<br /> addition,or other improvement of a building or structure taking place during a ten(10)year period,
<br /> the cumulative cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the building or
<br /> structure before the improvement or repair is started. The period of accumulation begins when the
<br /> first improvement or repair of each building is permitted subsequent to July 15, 1999. If the
<br /> structure has incurred "substantial damage," any repairs are considered substantial improvement
<br /> regardless of the actual repair work performed. The term does not,however, include either: [Also
<br /> defined in FBC, B, Section 202.]
<br /> (1) Any project for improvement of a building required to correct existing health, sanitary, or
<br /> safety code violations identified by the building official and that are the minimum
<br /> necessary to assure safe living conditions.
<br /> (2) Any alteration of a historic structure provided the alteration will not preclude the structure's
<br /> continued designation as a historic structure.
<br /> Variance. A grant of relief from the requirements of this ordinance, or the flood resistant
<br /> construction requirements of the Florida Building Code, which permits construction in a manner
<br /> that would not otherwise be permitted by this ordinance or the Florida Building Code.
