Application for new development or existing building renovation designs and site development review shall be submitted to the City Zoning Inspector along with the applicant's building permit application.
The City Zoning Inspector shall make a determination of compliance with the architectural review guidelines. In the event that such application is in compliance with the guidelines, the application shall be approved. No fee shall be required in such case.
In the event the City Zoning Inspector has a question about the compliance of an application to the guidelines, the applicant shall be notified of such concern. In the event such concern is not corrected, the applicant shall pay a fifty dollar ($50.00) application fee and the application shall be then forwarded to the Architectural Review Board.

An application to appeal shall be accompanied by a one hundred dollar ($100.00) fee. The written request for appeal must set forth in a concise manner the decision being appealed and all grounds known to the appellant as to wherein and why the decision is allegedly in error. The Board of Aldermen may, at its sole discretion, consider the appeal on the record of the prior decision by the Architectural Review Board or may receive additional evidence in such manner as it deems appropriate in light of the circumstances. The Board of Aldermen shall either approve, modify or disapprove the application.
