The Building Inspector shall issue a provisional permit when the requirements set forth in §7.16.010, .020, .030, and .034(A), (B), and (E) have been fully satisfied. For any mobile home installed in a mobile home park, if the requirements set forth in §17.16.034(C) and (D) are not fully satisfied within the periods specified therein, the provisional occupancy permit shall expire and the occupants of the home shall be required to vacate the home and the owner thereof shall be required to immediately remove the home from the City of Tekoa.

Should the Building Inspector grant such an extension, and the owner then fails to satisfy the requirements within the extended period, the provisional occupancy permit shall expire and the occupants of the mobile home shall be required to vacate the mobile home until the requirements are fully satisfied. Once all of the requirements set forth in §7.16.010, .020, .030, and .034 (A) through (E) have been fully satisfied, the Building Inspector shall issue a permanent occupancy permit.
