The 2009 Seattle Energy Code is now in effect for nonresidential spaces. The revised requirements for residential spaces will take effect on January 1, 2011. For determining the 2009 Seattle Energy Code requirements, you need to look at both the 2009 Washington State Energy Code and the Seattle ordinance.
New Billing Procedures for SDOT Review Charges on DPD Shoring Permits
Starting January 1, 2011, SDOT will collect fees directly from customers when SDOT review is required on a DPD shoring permit. Customers with projects that require SDOT shoring review that start BEFORE January 1, 2011 will begin receiving monthly invoices in February 2011 for SDOT review charges incurred in the prior month. DPD will collect outstanding fees on projects with SDOT review charges that were incurred prior to January 1, 2011 at the time of permit issuance.
Revising SDOT Street Use Fee and Rate Changes
Seattle Department of Transportation is revising the Street Use permit fees and the hourly rate for the first time since 2004. Seattle Municipal Code (SMC) 15.04.074 requires that Street Use permit fees cover the expense of administering permits, including review, issuance and enforcement.
2011 Seattle Electrical Code Update
DPD has created an internal staff committee to develop the 2011 Seattle Electrical Code. The 2011 Seattle Electrical Code will be a combination of the 2011 National Electrical Code and Seattle amendments. The committee is preparing a list of discussion items, code issues, and possible modifications to update the electrical code.
DPD Service Changes Reminder
As a reminder, DPD has changed some services for applicants and the public. The changes are necessary due to DPD’s significantly reduced permit-related revenue that resulted in a series of layoffs. New Hours for Applicant Services Center (ASC), Plans Routing, Public Resource Center and Microfilm Library (All of 20th Floor, plus Plans Routing area on the 21st Floor, Seattle Municipal Tower) are Monday, Wednesday, Friday – 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Tuesday, Thursday – 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
