§ 46-654. Plan commission review required.

To encourage a use environment that is compatible with the neighborhood character, a building permit and/or occupancy permit for any permitted, accessory or conditional use in the I-1 district, except the exercise of religion in churches, shall not be issued without review and approval of the plan commission. Said review and approval shall be concerned with, but not necessarily limited to, the proposed plan of operation, general layout, building plans, lighting, ingress, egress, parking, landscaping, and open space utilization in accordance with section 46-16, 46-100 and 46-101. The application procedure and standards of review described in article IV of this chapter shall generally be applicable to plan commission review under this division. Plan commission review under this division is required for all types of permitted accessory and conditional uses except the exercise of religion in churches. Neither a new occupancy permit nor plan commission review is required when the type of principal accessory or conditional use remains unchanged but the details of that use changes. But when a new activity or use is added that is different in kind or type from the previous principal, accessory or conditional uses for which occupancy permits have been issued, a new occupancy permit must be applied for and the plan commission must review the application pursuant to this section.
