B. Conditional Use/Administrative Use/Interim Use Permit. Every application for a land use permit which may result in the alteration of a designated historic site or landmark in the City shall be reviewed by the ACHP; thereafter, the committee shall make a recommendation and may recommend conditions regarding approval to the Council concerning the proposed permit.

1. New construction.
2. Remodel.
3. Move a building into the City.
4. Excavate.
5. Demolition.
