(A) No building, sign or other structure shall be erected, moved, added to, structurally altered, demolished or the use thereof changed until a zoning permit is issued by the administrative official. No zoning permit shall be issued except in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, except after written order from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. All permits shall be provided in writing. Applications for permits must be made by a person with a property interest in the property or a contract to purchase the property on which the development is proposed.
(B) Permits for individual dwellings and appurtenant projects may not be issued without submission of a site plan or a parcel sketch, showing the location and size of the project on the parcel. This shall in no way preclude the requirement for subdivision site-plan approval under town code of ordinances, Chapter 154, Subdivision Regulations or § 155.146, Manufactured Home Parks.
(C) To apply for a non-residential zoning permit, an applicant shall submit to the Zoning and Subdivision Administrator a zoning permit application and a duplicate set of site plans drawn to scale which indicate the following:
(1) The shape and dimensions of the lot on which the proposed building or use is to be erected or conducted;
(2) The location of the lot with respect to adjacent rights-of-way, zoning, land uses and the like;
(3) The shape, dimensions and location of all buildings, existing and proposed on the lot;
(4) The nature of the proposed use of the building or land, including the extent and location of the use on the lot;
(5) The location and dimensions of off-street parking and loading space and the means of ingress and egress to such space; and
(6) Any other information which the administrative official may deem necessary for the consideration in enforcing the provisions of this chapter. A careful record of such an application and plats shall be kept in the office of the Zoning Administrator.
(D) If the proposed building or use conforms to the provisions of this chapter, a zoning permit shall be issued to the applicant by the administrative official, along with one set of site plans on which shall be indicated the approval of the administrative official. The remaining set of site plans and a copy of the zoning permit shall be filed in the office of the Zoning and Subdivision Administrator. Subsequent building location and construction shall conform to the plans approved at the time of the zoning permit issuance.
(E) If the zoning permit is denied, the applicant may appeal the action of the Zoning and Subdivision Administrator to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
