A permit has been filed for new construction on a two-story single family residence with a detached garage. The construction permit was filed on the same day as the demolition permit, suggesting the house will not be subject to the demolition delay ordinance: the delay is waived “when an applicant concurrently applies for ONE and only one replacement detached single family residence on the same tax lot where the residential unit/structure will be demolished,” according to the Bureau of Development Services.
