Article 23-9. AC "ARCHITECTURAL SUPERVISION" REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURE  

a.

Architectural supervision may be provided in connection with any zone. When such architectural supervision is established, it shall be so designated upon the official zoning map by the letters AC preceding the zone symbol, thus for example, AC-CN.

Before such architectural supervision may be established in connection with any zone, a petition therefor signed by the owners of record of not less than sixty-six (66) percent of the land area involved shall be filed with the City Council.

b.

When such architectural supervision is established in connection with a district, the following regulations, in addition to the regulations specified for such district, shall apply:

1.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, before any building or structure which is designed or intended to be used for any purpose is erected, constructed, altered or moved within any zone in which architectural supervision is in effect, an application furnishing descriptive material or plans showing the exterior elevations of the proposed building or structure, the types of exterior materials and colors to be used and signs to be displayed, shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove said application.

2.

If any property owner other than the applicant is dissatisfied with the action of the Zoning Administrator, he may appeal to the City Council at its next regular meeting following the date of the Zoning Administrator's action. If the applicant is dissatisfied with the action of the Zoning Administrator he may appeal to the City Council within thirty (30) days after such action. Said Council having heard such appeal may sustain, modify or set aside all or any part of said action and authorize the erection, construction, alteration or moving of the building structure in question under such provisions as the Council deems necessary.

3.

The Zoning Administrator shall prescribe the form, content and manner of submitting any application required by this section and the procedure for disposition of its action thereon.

4.

In any business zone wherein the regulations of this section are established, such regulations shall not apply to any existing or proposed single-family or two-family dwelling nor to any building or use which is accessory thereto.
