A. An applicant may request a hearing before the redevelopment agency for a proposed building, remodeling or rehabilitation project within the downtown central business district before the project is reviewed by the architectural review committee if:
1. Waiting to have the project reviewed by the architectural review committee before review by the redevelopment agency would pose a severe personal or business hardship; and
2. The applicant is seeking no financial assistance for the project from the redevelopment agency.
B. All building, remodeling or rehabilitation projects in the downtown central business district must comply with the basic design requirements in effect for the downtown central business district at the time a building permit is requested for the project.
C. The redevelopment agency may entertain an applicant's request for an expedited hearing before the redevelopment agency and grant or deny the relief requested or, alternatively, may refer the proposed project to the architectural review committee for review prior to redevelopment agency action.
