Part 3 — ZONING CLEARANCE

The zoning clearance process is an administrative review undertaken by the City Planner that ensures that all proposed new and modified uses and structures that do not require any discretionary actions or approvals otherwise comply with applicable provisions of this chapter.

(Ord. 1346, passed 5-2-12)

An administrative zoning clearance is required for any structure or use that requires a building permit or business license. No building permit or business license shall be granted until zoning clearance approval has been issued. (Ord. 1346, passed 5-2-12)

Zoning clearance shall be granted only when the City Planner finds the proposed use or development to be in conformance with all applicable provisions of this chapter and other applicable city documents. The City Planner may modify plans in whole or in part, apply conditions of approval or require guarantees to ensure compliance with applicable provisions of this chapter.

(Ord. 1346, passed 5-2-12)

The authorized signature of the City Planner on a designated form, or a stamp approval on a set of plans, shall signify approval of zoning clearance.
