(A) The term “permit-issuing authority” is often used in this and other sections in this chapter. The term “permit-issuing authority” means, depending on the context, the Land Use Administrator, the Board of Adjustment, or the Board of Commissioners. Typically, if the context relates to a zoning permit, then a reference to “permit-issuing authority” means the Land Use Administrator, if the context is related to a special use permit, then “permit-issuing authority” means the Board of Adjustment (BOA), and if the context is related to a conditional use permit, then “permit-issuing authority” means the Board of Commissioners (BOC). The use made of property may not be substantially changed, and substantial clearing, grading, or excavating may not be commenced, and buildings or other substantial structures may not be constructed, erected, moved, or substantially altered except in accordance with and pursuant to one of the following permits:
(1) A zoning permit (and/or sign permit, as applicable) issued by the Land Use Administrator;
(2) A special use permit issued by the Board of Adjustment; or
(3) A conditional use permit issued by the Board of Commissioners.
(B) Pursuant to this chapter, zoning permits, special use permits, conditional use permits, and sign permits will be issued only after a review of a submitted application, including the plans contained therein, indicates that a project or development, if completed as proposed, will comply with the provisions of this chapter. Such applications and plans that are finally approved shall be incorporated into any issued permit, and except as otherwise provided in § 152.058, all projects(s) and development(s) shall occur strictly in accordance with such approved applications and plans.
(D) A zoning permit, special use permit, conditional use permit, or sign permit shall be issued in the name of the applicant (except that applications submitted by an agent shall be issued in the name of the principal), shall identify the property involved and the proposed use, shall incorporate by reference the plans submitted, and shall contain any special conditions or requirements lawfully imposed by the permit-issuing authority (Land Use Administrator, Board of Adjustment, or Board of Commissioners). All such permits issued with respect to tracts of land in excess of one acre (except sign permits and zoning permits for single-family and two-family residential uses) shall be recorded in the county’s Register of Deeds after execution by the Land Use Administrator after execution by the record owner as provided in § 152.058.
