All eleven copies of the proposed preliminary plans shall be transmitted to the Director of Public Service and shall be distributed to the Mayor, Council, the Building Department, the Planning Commission and other related authorities as established by the City.
The Planning Commission shall review the plans to determine that the structure will not be detrimental to adjacent property owners or users of such public ways, watercourses, rights of way or areas dedicated to public use, and that such structure does not restrict or impede public use of such public ways, nor will interfere with the general public health, safety or welfare.
