  • To avoid undue hardship, nothing in this chapter shall require any change in plans, construction, or designated use of any building for which a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of adoption or amendment of this chapter and upon which actual building has been carried on diligently. Actual construction is hereby defined to include the placing of construction materials in a permanent position and fastened in a permanent manner.
