A building permit shall not be issued for the construction of any building or structure and/or modification of any building or structure unless and until a site plan review has been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission; provided, however, that the submission and approval shall not be required for construction, alteration or modification in the following instances:
(A) Detached single-family dwelling units plus only 1 ancillary building of no more than 1 story of height and of no more than 600 square feet;
(B) Farm buildings and structures used only for agricultural purposes;
(C) Swimming pools;
(D) When the proposed new construction or remodeling constitutes an addition to an existing building or use, site plan review procedures may be modified, at the discretion of the Building Official, to provide for an administrative review by the Building Official in lieu of a more formal review by the Planning Commission. The Building Official may conduct an administrative review provided both of the following are true:
(1) No variances to the chapter are required; and
(2) The proposed new construction would not increase the total buildable area in square feet by more than 25% or 1,000 square feet, whichever is less.
(E) For those cases requiring site plan review solely as a result of building reoccupancy, site plan review procedures may be modified, at the discretion of the Building Official, to provide for an administrative review by the Building Official in lieu of a more formal review by the Planning Commission. The Building Official may conduct an administrative review provided all of the following are true:
(1) No variances to the ordinance are required;
(2) The use is conducted within a completely enclosed building;
(3) Reoccupancy does not create additional parking demands, beyond 10% of that which exists; and
(4) Reoccupancy does not substantially alter the character of the site.
(F) Every site plan submitted for review shall be in accordance with the requirements of this chapter. Administrative review procedures are not intended to modify any ordinance, regulation or development standard.
