July 23rd, 2012 City Council passes Ordinance # 123939.This changed the Seattle Municipal Code regarding temporary occupancy of non conforming buildings. Previous to this date, the language indicated that a non conforming buildingcould be used only one time for a maxiumum period of 6 months and that this was a Type II Land Use decision that could be appealed. It now says that a temporary occupancy permit can be granted for 18 months with no limit to renewals. It also states that after an initial Type II decision is made and not appealed for a temporary occupancy, all subsequent decisions to issuetemporary occupancy permits are Type I. Type I permits do not allow appeals.

January 11th, 2012 Date permit # 6303315 was issued. Note that thispermit was originally issued as a six month permit, but was retroactively made into an 18 month permit after the July 21st, 2012 council decision.

A - The entire first 6 month shelter period occurred with NO approved permit.This permit was under the old rules and was a Type II appealable land use decision.The seismic and life safety upgrades were not required for this period by SPD or DPD.

C - The requirements to install an automatic sprinkler system and a fire alarm system had not been completed prior to UGM occupying the building. In the last few weeks of March,2012 - prior to the end of the shelter stay - electricians installed a fire control panel and wired the building for an alarm system. This is contrary to the DPD permit site’s passed final inspection on November 23rd, 2011.

B - The second 6 month period started with a four week temp permit, apparently to getaround the fact that another 6 month temp permit was not allowed. There is a 25 day period after the 4 week permit in which they were again occupying the building with no occupancy permit. A second 6 month temp permit is issued even though it is not allowed. The required upgrades for conforming occupancy have still not been completed at this time.

November 18th, 2011 (finaled Nov. 23) Date permit # 6299158 was issued
