§ 355-41. Approval required.  


Latest version.
  • No building permit shall be issued, and no structure or use shall be established or changed, other than for one single-family dwelling approved in accordance with the procedures specified in Article VII of this chapter, except in conformity with a site development plan approved and endorsed by the Planning Board with its date of approval, and no certificate of occupancy for such structure or use shall be issued until all the requirements of such site plan and any conditions attached thereto have been met. The continued validity of any certificate of occupancy shall be subject to continued conformance with such approved plan and conditions. Revisions of such plans shall be subject to the same approval procedure. Where the Building Inspector finds that a change of use or occupancy will not require an increase in the number of off-street parking or loading spaces, as required by Article IX, beyond that required for the previous use, or in the number of spaces actually approved for construction to serve the previous use, site plan approval requirements may be waived by said Board. However, an applicant, upon the submission of all required forms and the payment of the required fee, may request that the Building Inspector review a minor proposal for the categories identified in § 355-42, provided that the minor amendment does not include a change of use or principal building enlargement; will not substantially intensify the use or substantially modify the site with respect to generation of traffic, pedestrian movement, parking needs, noise, glare, exposure to hazard from fire or flood, utilization of water supply, sanitary sewer, drainage or other utility system; and will not in any other way have a substantial impact upon the character or environment of the surrounding area. Unless such request is made, minor proposals shall follow the requirements for a regular site plan. If the Building Inspector determines that the proposal is consistent with the general purpose and intent of this chapter, site development plan approval for a minor proposal may be issued by the Building Inspector. At any time prior to the issuance of the minor site development plan approval, the Building Inspector or the applicant may request review by the Planning Board, which shall follow the procedures for a regular site plan.
