A. Projects requiring architectural review. Except as set forth in Subsection B., architectural review and approval is required prior to the issuance of a building permit for:
1. Construction of a new building or an addition to an existing building, whenever a cumulative total of seven hundred fifty (750) square feet or more of gross building floor area is added within a one year period.
2. Any project involving a substantial exterior modification as determined by the City Planner.
3. Any project involving a substantial change or intensification of land use, as determined by the City Planner such as but not limited to, another use which would require more parking, or the conversion of a residential structure to an office or commercial use.
4. Moving a building or structure onto a site (“move-on”).
5. Erection of a new, or a modification to an existing sign, fence, wall or any other appurtenant structure.
B. Projects not requiring architectural review. Architectural review is not required for construction of, or additions or alterations to an individual single family or two family dwelling or appurtenant structure, or two single family dwellings on one lot.
C. Modifications to an approved architectural review. Modifications to an approved architectural review, involving additions to existing structures or new buildings, shall require approval of an architectural review modification prior to the issuance of a building permit. Except for minor modifications, modifications to an architectural review approval shall be approved by the decision making authority which originally approved the architectural style. Unless the architectural review approval provides otherwise, the City Planner may approve minor modifications. As used in this subsection, minor modifications to an approved architectural review include, without limitation, changes other than ones involving structural additions or new buildings. Where an architectural review approval remains valid, an application for a modified architectural review shall be accompanied by written consent of the property owner.
