14.78.070 UTAH AND INTERNATIONAL CODES TO GOVERN: Uniform Code For Building Conservation (Historic Structures)

The Uniform Code for Building Conservation (U.C.B.C.) contains provisions related to the conservation of historic structures. The present Sanpete County Historic Preservation Ordinance, adopted March 3, 1992, together with operational policies governing the restoration or refurbishing of historical buildings in Sanpete County, are hereby made a part of this chapter by reference. Applicable provisions in each of the Codes adopted in this Chapter shall apply to commercial, industrial, and residential structures in Sanpete County which are reconstructed, refurbished, remodeled, or restored for historic preservation purposes and building permits will be required. At the time a building permit is obtained, written evidence and signed certification shall be presented, which documents that a licensed architect, building contractor, building official, or registered professional engineer has examined the structure and determined that it may appropriately and safely be restored. Based upon certification which is acceptable to the Sanpete County Building Official, provisions of the Uniform Code for Building Conservation (U.C.B.C.) may be invoked in restoring or refurbishing historic buildings in a manner that is consistent with the Uniform Code requirements adopted in the Sanpete County General Plan and in this chapter. All remodeled or restored structures shall meet contemporary health and safety standards.
