S.C. Code Regs. 8-605 - Enforcement Authority
(1) It is
the intent of the Act and these regulations, that those areas of authority
rightfully belonging to the local government are specifically and entirely
reserved thereto. Such areas are land use, zoning, fire zones, site development
and subdivision control, as well as the review and regulation of architectural
and aesthetic requirements. Such requirements and regulations not in conflict
with the provisions of the Act or these regulations, which currently exist or
may be enacted, must be reasonable and uniformly applied and enforced without
distinction as to whether such building is modular or constructed on site in a
conventional manner. Local zoning ordinances shall not restrict location of, or
otherwise discriminate against modular buildings certified in accordance with
the Act and these regulations.
(2)
The local government shall furthermore be reserved the authority to:
(a) require a complete set of plans and
specifications as certified by the Council for each modular building erected
within its jurisdiction; and
(b)
require that all permits be obtained before erection of any unit on a building
site; and
(c) approve and inspect
foundation systems and all connections thereto; and
(d) approve and inspect all electrical,
plumbing, gas, or mechanical systems from the source of service to the point at
which they connect to the building.
(3) The local building official shall report
any modular building that has been damaged enroute to the erection
site.
(4) Any modular building unit
bearing the Council's certification label shall be deemed to comply with the
requirements of all building codes, ordinances, or regulations which govern
building construction, enacted by any local government.
(5) The local building official shall require
that all modular buildings bear a certification label before issuing a
Certificate of Occupancy.
(6) The
local building official shall report any violations of the Act or these
regulations to the Council.
