§ 26-68-020. Alterations of designated historic structures and new construction within a historic district.

No zoning permit authorizing alterations (including demolition) in the exterior of a structure within the boundaries of a historic district and no zoning permits authorizing construction of a new building within the boundaries of a historic district shall be granted unless approval has been granted by the county landmarks commission. Minor alterations may be reviewed and approved by staff in conformance with adopted design guidelines and standards. In all cases where the request for a zoning permit involves demolition alone, however, the county landmarks commission shall take action on such request within six (6) months of the date of application for the permit. It is not intended by this chapter to grant the county landmarks commission jurisdiction over zoning or use permit matters other than in the area of design review.
