§ 3.36.17. Plans required; certificates of compliance.

A.

Plans required: Prior to the issuance of any land-disturbance permit, building permit, or sign permit, the applicant shall submit to the district commissioners and the director of planning or designee an application which shall include a conceptual plan package as defined by this chapter which shall demonstrate that the proposed design is in compliance with all of the requirements of this Scottdale Overlay District and the underlying zoning classification. The director of planning shall notify the president of the Scottdale Community Alliance and the co-chair of the Avondale-Rockbridge Civic Alliance of any application for so long as both groups or entities remain in existence. Copies of all applications shall be posted to the website for the DeKalb County Planning Department by the director of planning or designee at least ten (10) business days before any certificate of compliance is issued.

B.

Fees: Plans shall be accompanied by an application and payment of a fee in an amount to be determined by the board of commissioners.

C.

Review: The director of planning or designee shall review each application for compliance with all requirements of the Scottdale Overlay District and the underlying zoning classification. Where the director or designee determines that said plans comply with the requirements of the Scottdale Overlay District a certificate of compliance shall be issued in the form of the director or designee's signature on the plans and drawings after which the applicant shall then apply for land disturbance, building or signs permits. Where the director or designee determines that said plans do not comply with the requirements of this section, then the director or designee shall notify the applicant in writing stating the manner in which said applicant fails to comply with such requirements. All applications shall be considered and decided by the director of planning or designee within thirty (30) days of receipt of a complete application. Any appeal of the decision in this regard shall be to the zoning board of appeals pursuant to section 7.5.2.
