The Architectural Review Board shall review an applicant's building proposal for the alteration or construction of a structure or building that exists or is to be built within the Residential Historic District and approve, approve conditionally or disapprove such building, construction or alteration. The Board shall be governed by the Architectural Review Guidelines.
The Board shall review the applications referred to it by the zoning administrators. If the application is found to be in conformance with the Guidelines, the Board shall so signify in writing to the zoning administrator from whom the application was referred.
The Avery Historic District ARB will utilize the Design Guidelines, set forth in Section 1348.11 to guide and inform the review process.
If, for some reason, the application is found not to be in conformance with the requirements enumerated in the Guidelines then the Board shall advise the zoning administrator from whom the application was referred, in writing, that the application is not in conformance and the reasons that it is not in conformance, in which case a building permit shall not be issued. Provided, however, that if the Board is of the opinion that the ends of justice shall be served by granting approval to such application conditional upon a change in plans to conform with the Guidelines, it may so advise the zoning administrator from whom the application was referred, in writing, of such conditional approval, enumerating the requirements which shall be complied with by a change of plans, in which case a building permit may be issued conditional upon such changes as required by the Board in order to comply with the Guidelines.
In no event shall the Board grant a variance or conditional use deviating from the guidelines or any other requirements or provisions of this article.
All applications shall be ruled upon within sixty days of the date of application and the applicant shall be provided with a written notice of either approval, conditional approval or denial.
