Part Vi Procedures And Permits | 16.606 Minor And Major Use Permits
16.605.04 CONDITIONS The Director, Planning Commission or Design Review Board may impose reasonable conditions related to the design impacts of the proposed Development Review approvals. Such conditions must be consistent with the considerations of this Chapter and deemed reasonable and necessary under the circumstances to carry out the intent of this Chapter.
16.605.05 APPEALS, EXPIRATIONS AND EXTENSIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND REVOCATIONS A. Appeals. Development Review approvals for projects that do not require a Use Permit, Variance, or other final action by the Director or Planning Commission may be appealed to the Planning Commission and Design Review Board in accordance with Table 16.601-A: Permit Review Authority, as provided for in Chapter 16.602, Common Procedures, Section 16.602.14, Appeals.
16.606 MINOR AND MAJOR USE PERMITS 16.606.01 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY These regulations establish procedures intended to allow for Review of uses that are generally consistent with the purposes of the zoning district where they are proposed but may require special consideration to ensure they can be designed, located, and operated in a manner that will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties. Although these uses have been found not inherently detrimental, in certain circumstances they may require an additional level of Review and need a higher threshold of approval as provided for in this Zoning Code to prevent adverse impacts to the areas where they are located.
C. Revocation. A Development Review Permit may be revoked as provided for Chapter 16.615, Enforcement and Abatements.
Approval of a Minor Conditional Use Permit or Major Conditional Use Permit, referenced in this Zoning Code as “Minor Use Permit” and “Major Use Permit”, is required for such uses or projects pursuant to Part II, Base and Overlay Districts, Part III, General Regulations, and other provisions of the Zoning Code. Such uses include, but are not limited to, the construction of buildings or structures, the use of vacant land, changes in the character of the use of land or building, or substantial expansion in the use of land or buildings.
16.605.06 PROHIBITIONS
16.606.02 PROCEDURES
No building permit, license, certificate or other approval or entitlement shall be issued or given by the City or any department or employee thereof with respect to any improvement subject to Development Review approval until the design of the improvement has been approved as provided in this Chapter. No certificate of use and occupancy or similar approval shall be issued or given for any improvement subject to development Review approval under this Chapter unless and until the Director has certified that the improvement has been completed in accordance with the design approved pursuant to this Chapter.
A. Minor Use Permit. The Director shall Review, approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application for a Minor Use Permit based on consideration of the requirements of this Chapter. The Director may, at his/her discretion, refer any application for a Minor Use Permit for a project the Director determines may generate substantial public controversy or involve significant land use policy decisions to the Planning Commission for a decision. In that case, the application must be processed as a Major Use Permit.
B. Expirations, Extensions and Modifications. Development Review approvals are effective and may only be extended or modified as provided for in Chapter 16.602, Common Procedures, Sections 16.602.12, Expirations and Extensions.
16.605.07 OTHER ORDINANCES NOT AFFECTED Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed to exempt any application from compliance with any requirement of any other provision of this Zoning Code or any other ordinance of this city, or to amend any such other ordinance unless so stated in the Code codified in this Chapter.
