A. Design Review Required. No building permit shall be issued for any structure, addition or exterior remodel in any airport zoning district until the project has first obtained site design and architectural review approval in compliance with Chapter 19.18 (Site Design and Architectural Review), and this section.
B. Review Authority.
1. Airport Commission or Architectural Committee. Site design and architectural review for projects within the A and AP zoning districts shall be conducted by the Airport Commission or, if appointed, the Airport Architectural Committee. Site design and architectural review for projects within the AM and AC zoning districts shall be conducted by the Architectural Review and Historic Preservation Board or Director as established in Chapter 19.18 (Site Design and Architectural Review).
C. Procedure for Review and Decision. In determining whether to approve or conditionally approve the architectural design of a structure, the Airport Architectural Committee shall meet and consult with the Architectural Review Board at a joint meeting. If the Airport Architectural Committee does not approve the architectural design of the structure, the architectural design of the structure shall be considered by the Airport Commission as a whole, which shall either approve, conditionally approve, modify, or disapprove the architectural design.
D. Standards and Criteria. The action of the Airport Commission or the Airport Architectural Committee, if appointed, shall comply with the requirements of the Chico Municipal Airport and Industrial Park Development Plan and the City of Chico Design Guidelines Manual, and shall take into consideration the following additional factors:
1. The compatibility of the structure and grounds with adjacent properties or with future development of adjacent properties;
2. The extent which natural features including trees, shrubs, rocks, and the natural grade of the site are retained;
3. The accessibility and relationship of off-street parking and loading areas with respect to adjacent street and on-site uses;
4. The development of landscaping areas and fencing for the purposes of separating or screening service and storage areas from the street and adjoining building sites;
5. The development of landscaping or mounding to break up large expanses of paved areas, and to separate and screen parking lots from adjoining building sites;
6. The location of on-site lighting to provide for the on-site safety needs without interfering with adjacent uses or aviation uses in the area, or posing any traffic hazard on adjacent streets; and
7. Any other factors relating to the project under consideration that the review authority deems necessary.
