For the purpose of preserving the integrity of the Official Map of the City, no permit shall be issued for any building within the lines of any street, watercourse or public ground shown or laid out on the Official Map. No person shall recover any damages for the taking for public use of any building or improvement constructed within the lines of any street, watercourse or public ground after the same has been included in the Official Map, and any such building or improvement shall be removed at the expense of the owner. However, when the property of which the reserved location forms a part cannot yield a reasonable return to the owner unless a permit is granted, the owner may apply to Council for a permit to so build. Before granting any permit authorized in this section, Council shall give public notice and hold a public hearing at which all parties in interest shall have an opportunity to be heard. A refusal by Council to grant the permit applied for may be appealed by the applicant to a court in the same manner and within the same time limitation as are provided for zoning appeals in the Zoning Code.
