Notes: [1] The Building Official only reviews Sign Permit applications where an electrical or Building Permit is also required under the Building Code. [2] Review procedures for Building Permits and Certificates of Compliance/Occupancy are established in the Building Code, but are shown here because they are closely related to the development review procedures in this Ordinance. [3] The Planning and Zoning Board’s decision is preliminary and is submitted to the N.C. Environmental Management Commission for a final decision (see 7.2.5.C). [4] A quasi-judicial public hearing and decision is required irrespective of whether one is required for the concurrently reviewed application. (Ord. No. 2014-016, 06/24/2014; Ord. No. 2014-051, 11/10/2014; Ord. No. 2016-001, 05/10/2016)
