All applications for occupancy permits or building permits for all multifamily (over eight) dwellings, recreation resort uses, public and quasi-public uses, business, commercial and manufacturing buildings, structures and uses and their accessory buildings, shall be accompanied by architectural elevations and site development plans to scale, which shall show building locations, major exterior elevations, exterior building materials and color schemes, landscaping, prominent existing trees, ground treatment, fences, off-street parking, vehicle and pedestrian circulation, adjacent buildings, streets and property lines, and existing grades and proposed new grades. All plans shall be reviewed and approved by the planning commission.. All of the above required architectural and site development plans shall be reviewed and approved prior to the issuing of any land use, occupancy or building permit. All documents submitted in the application shall be accompanied by a PDF file of the respective document. All plans (including but not limited to site plans, architectural elevations/renderings, etc.), and subsequent submittals and revisions, shall be accompanied by a full scale set of PDF files of the respective plans. The applicability of the provisions of this chapter may be waived or modified by the City Council by means of an executed and recorded development agreement. The specific waiver or modification shall be explicitly stated in the development agreement. The specific waiver or modification is subject to a public hearing with, and recommendation from, the Planning Commission prior to the City Council final decision. Design review decisions shall be based on the objective standards contained in this Title and shall not be based solely on aesthetic preference. Uses subject to design review are those listed in the land use table as commercial, resort, public, or multifamily uses. Sec 108-1-3 Exceptions For buildings and uses covered by conditional use permits or planned unit development approval, design review shall be incorporated within such conditional use permit or planned unit development approval and need not be a separate application, provided the requirements of this chapter are met. Design review shall not regulate the architectural design, materials, or layout of agricultural buildings, agricultural uses, and buildings primarily supporting agricultural production unless: 1. Public safety issues are involved; 2. Public infrastructure impacts exist; or 3. The structure functions primarily as commercial retail or lodging unrelated to active agricultural production. Structures supporting value-added agriculture, processing, farm retail, and agricultural wellness activities, as those terms are defined in Section 108-1-2, shall be considered agricultural for purposes of this exemption when associated with and directly supportive of an active farm on the same property.
