17.62. 010 Requiring approval of planning commission.

The city council, after due consideration, finds and determines that local conditions, environmental health, and beach community features prevailing within this city make it necessary to provide control of certain architectural features in the design of buildings, and therefore the following new Section 209 shall be added to the Uniform Building Code, 1988 Edition, to read as follows:

SECTION 209 .

Section 209. Certain Buildings Requiring Planning Commission Approval. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this code no building or relocation permit shall be issued for the following until approved by the planning commission as set forth hereunder:

(a) For any building or structure which calls for galvanized iron or sheet metal exterior for all or a part thereof; or

(b) A building or structure of an unusual or unorthodox architectural deign, commonly referred to as a novelty building; or

(c) For a building or structure which, in the opinion of the community development director, may be detrimental to the public interest, welfare, health, comfort and safety, or adversely affects substantial vested rights of adjoining property owners.

The community development director shall refer said application to the planning commission for study and report, and said commission shall make such investigation and shall hold such hearings on said application as is deemed desirable for approval or denial. If said application is denied by the planning commission, the community development director shall notify the applicant in writing of the action taken. The applicant may thereupon, by notice in writing filed with the city manager within thirty (30) days from the date of mailing of the notice denying his application, demand a hearing on said application, and the city manager shall thereupon set said matter for hearing after due notice to the applicant of the time and place thereof. At said hearing applicant shall be permitted to testify and give evidence in support of his application, and if the city council determines that the proposed construction will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety or general welfare, or will not materially depreciate or detrimentally affect adjoining property, said application may be granted; otherwise, the same shall be denied.

The applicant shall then pay to the planning commission a review fee of one hundred dollars ($100.00). The planning commission shall hold hearings notice of which to be given to the applicant and to other interested persons in the neighborhood of the proposed location, such notice to be in form and at such time as deemed reasonable to the planning commission.

Such bonds shall be payable to the city and shall be conditioned upon the construction and completion of the structure in compliance with this code and the requirements of the planning commission and the city council, and for the payment of materialmen and laborers, furnishing material and laborers for the rebuilding or completion of the structure, with foundation, as required by this code and the recommendations of the planning commission and the city council.
