Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(1) Except as
otherwise provided in this Code, by special area regulations or as stipulated
by the director, business hours of department buildings may be established by
the site administrator. Public use of department buildings for purposes other
than the primary building function is prohibited, except that use by other
government entities or not-for-profit organizations involved in fish, forestry
and/or wildlife resources conservation may be authorized, at times and under
conditions that do not interfere with the department building
function.
(2) Special Building Use
Permit.
(A) Any person, organization or
government entity seeking use of a department building must apply for a special
building use permit on forms provided by the department.
(B) Failure to properly complete and provide
all requested information on the application shall result in denial of a
permit.
(C) Applications may be
submitted by mail, in person to the site administrator during established
business hours or to another designated location, but must be received at least
seven (7) days prior to the date of the requested building use.
(D) A permit shall be issued or denied by the
site administrator no later than three (3) calendar days following receipt of
the completed application.
(E) The
permit shall specify the conditions, including any restrictions, under which
the permittee is authorized to conduct an activity during a time period
specified. Upon expiration of a permit, a new permit may be issued based on a
new application.
(F) The site
administrator shall issue permits on a first-come, first-served
basis.
(G) The site administrator
may disapprove an application or cancel an issued permit, including an activity
in progress, if the activity violates any provisions or restrictions of the
permit.
(H) Nothing in this rule
shall prevent the site administrator from reserving certain times for official
government business; setting aside certain days and times for maintenance,
construction or repair; preempting an approved use to allow for official
government business; or prohibiting use to all applicants.
(I) Services normally provided at a building
shall be provided without charge. The applicant may be required to pay costs
for utilities, maintenance, supporting physical arrangements or additional
personnel over and above the services normally provided. The site administrator
may require a deposit in the amount of estimated additional costs before
issuing a permit. Payment of additional costs may be waived by the site
administrator where it is impractical to identify the additional costs or where
the amount is small.
