A. The purpose of this chapter is to set forth the criteria whereby the city reviews permitted use applications prior to building permit issuance or approval of the use for which the application is made. This process does not include any provisions for subdivision review, which is subject to the requirements of the Sunset City ordinance. A use otherwise permitted may be denied if it does not meet the required standards of this code.
B. To assure that a high level of quality and durability is maintained as development occurs in the city, this chapter also includes design and material criteria. General minimum standards for design, building materials, appearance and landscaping are required to enhance the character of the city. (Ord. 2002-05, 4-2-2002)
