DEVELOPMENT
INFORMATION:
All commercial projects, residential
projects of two or more units and oceanfront residential projects,
both new construction and any alterations that change the exterior
appearance, must receive approval from the Community Appearance Board
(CAB) before a permit can be issued. Two reviews by the CAB,
conceptual and final, are required; however, the applicant has the
option of simultaneously presenting a project for conceptual/final
review.
The CAB meets on the first and third
Thursday of each month. To be included on the agenda for a meeting an
applicant must submit all required documents to the Plan Reviewer no
later than 3:00 p.m. at least 10 days prior to the meeting
(normally the Monday a week-and-a-half preceding the meeting). Incomplete or partial
submissions will not be accepted.
All accepted applications will be
turned over to the Plans Expeditor who will process the plans thru all
required departmental reviews. The Plans Expeditor is the single
contact point for applicants after plans are received. Any
consultations with any reviewers should be made through the Plans
Expeditor. Any supplemental submissions should be made to the Plans
Expeditor,
