A. Determination By Planning Commission:
1. On any proposal to construct a building or other improvement to property which is defined by this title as a permitted use in the zone in which the building is proposed, the planning commission or staff shall review the submission to determine whether the proposal:
a. Is a permitted use within the zone for which it is proposed;
b. Complies with the requirements of that zone for building height, setback, side and rear yards, and lot coverage;
c. The applicable parking requirements have been satisfied;
d. The plan conforms to any architectural design guidelines established for that zone or area;
e. Will require an environmental impact statement if it lies in a sensitive lands area as defined in chapter 10 of this title;
f. Has met the requirements of the infrastructure review process as defined in section 9-1-13 of this chapter;
g. Will require a certificate of appropriateness from the design review committee as outlined in section 9-3-30 of this title;
h. Will require a certificate from the technical review committee as outlined in section 9-3-31 of this title.
2. Upon finding that the proposal complies with the applicable zoning requirements, and can be adequately serviced by existing utility systems or lines, the plans shall be reviewed for building code compliance and permit issuance. If the submission does not comply with the requirements of the zone, the planning commission shall so notify the owner of the project or his agent, if any, stating specifically what requirements of the zone have not been satisfied, and also stating whether the project should be reviewed as submitted for that zone.
B. The application for a building permit shall contain the following information, in addition to information required by the international building code:
1. When a structure is to be built, the footing and foundation details, site plan and elevations of all sides of the structure shall be submitted with the application, and all fees paid, prior to excavation.
2. A site plan showing the lot and the location of the proposed structure on the lot. The site plan must be drawn to scale. A certified survey shall be required on projects with structures on or near the lot lines, or when the lot lines are difficult to determine from existing plats and monuments. Topographic data may be required when the site is sloping or when the building height cannot be readily determined from the elevations without topographic data.
3. A legal description of the property with a statement of the name and current address of the owner or responsible agent, and a telephone number.
4. The location of the proposed structure by street address or by reference to existing structures so that the location can be identified and assigned a street address.
5. The location of adjacent utility lines.
6. Approval of permitted uses shall be noted by the issuance of a building permit in compliance with the provisions of the international building code and this title. (Ord., 1-18-2005; amd. Ord. 20-02, 3-17-2020)
