68. Important Instructions
    Before any lot is created; or any land is developed; or any new use of land or new structure is established or errected; or any existing structure or use is enlarged, extended, altered, relocated, or reconstructed; the owner must apply for and receive an Initial Certificate of Zoning Compliance. This certificate proves that the proposed change on a specific lot has been reviewed by the Zoning Administrator and found to be in compliance with the Swansea Zoning Code. Once an initial certificate is issued, the owner can proceed with securing building permits. The Zoning Administrator may, in some cases, find that plans for a specific lot do not agree with the zoning regulations. When that happens, (modify the plans to bring them into compliance; or 2) appeal the decision of the Zoning Administrator {if the decision is one of interpretation}; or 3) request a variation from the regulations{if a variation is allowable in this situtation}; or 4) request to have the zoning regulations amended. After completion of the proposed change as authorized by the initial certificate, the actual site must be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator who confirms that the change was made as planned and approved. If this is the case, a Final Certificate of Zoning Compliance is issued, and the structure or use can then be occupied.
