(1) When a worksite contains a tower crane, the local government in which the tower crane is located must, at a minimum, do the following before any assembly, disassembly, or reconfiguration of the tower crane:

(a) Align permit issuance for street closures with the definition of assembly/disassembly work zone when a tower crane is being assembled, disassembled, reconfigured, or otherwise not fully stabilized and secure;

(b) Issue street closure permits with consideration for sufficient time, as defined by the permit applicant, to safely conduct assembly, disassembly, or reconfiguration; and

(c) Develop permitting procedures that provide notice to residents and occupants in buildings within the assembly/disassembly work zone in advance of any assembly, disassembly, or reconfiguration.

(2) For purposes of this section, “assembly, disassembly, or reconfiguration” and “assembly/disassembly work zone” have the same meanings as those terms are defined in RCW 49.17.400.
