All building permit applications, except those applications made for single-family dwellings or for any other application which does not involve the erection, construction, reconstruction, placement, remodeling, alteration, expansion or enlargement of a non-single-family building or any substantive changes to the site, shall be submitted to the Planning Commission. Applications for remodeling or alterations in structures located within the C1 and C2 commercial districts and non-conforming commercial uses in residential districts which in the judgment of the code enforcement officer do not involve a change in the basic commercial use, shall not be submitted to the Planning Commission. The Commission shall review such applications and all supporting documents and information. After review, the Planning Commission shall then recommend issuance of the building permit as requested or that the permit be refused because of noncompliance with the Zoning Ordinance or other ordinance or regulation of the Borough or other governmental agency. The Building Inspector shall be bound by the action of the Planning Commission. In the case of refusal or unacceptable change made by the Planning Commission, the applicant shall be informed of his right of appeal to the Zoning Hearing Board.
This section shall in no way negate or alter any other requirements of this Zoning Ordinance for processing an application through the Zoning Hearing Board, either generally or under a specific section.
