Conditions of Approval
- Indicate for specific conditions of approval for permit issuance unique to the given permit, record, and scope of work; particularly items that would have to be fulfilled and/or completed prior to project completion as a caveat of permit issuance.
- Tend to be project/permit specific in nature and time sensitive.
- Are included on the Building Permit report (when indicated for ACA displayable) also included on the Public Works Permit report.
- Are automatically applied only as a Notice which does not stop any activity on the record such as payment processing or inspection scheduling.
Conditions (Standard)
- Tend to be more global in nature and applicable more often to reference data such as parcels, addresses, licensed professionals – regardless of the project/permit they are associated to. Example: applying a standard condition (typically a "notice") to a general parcel in reference that is in the floodplain so that anytime that parcel is used for any permit application, that information is shared
- Are not generally time sensitive.
- Are not indicated on the Building Permit or Certificate of Occupancy reports (note: must use a status of "Approved with Conditions" on the C of O workflow task to include any notable items related to occupancy on the Certificate of Occupancy report, ie. in a floodplain, residential fire system required due to subdivision fire access).
- Can be applied as a "Notice", "Hold", or "Lock" – particularly where a Hold or Lock will technically not allow additional activity on the record such as payment posting or inspection scheduling.
Important Note: currently only the Conditions (Standard) applied to the Record show through to the Oregon Inspector App – ePermitting has requested that all Conditions (Standard) and Conditions of Approval show through to the Oregon Inspector App but we are not sure. If it is important that a Condition of Approval show thru to the Inspector App, consider duplicating the condition as a Condition (Standard) applied to the individual record so it will show thru as desired.
In all other cases, careful consideration should be taken on whether a permit-specific condition should be added as a Condition of Approval or as a Condition (Standard) applied to the Record based on the intent of the condition. If it is necessary to stop progress/activity on the specific record, then it should be added as a Condition (Standard) with severity of Hold or Lock to prevent payment processing or inspection scheduling – if it should only serve as a requirement at project completion, then it should likely be added as a Condition of Approval, keeping in mind the above "Important Note."
