24.24.020 Exterior design review of Structures or fixtures paid for by City or erected
upon or extending over public streets, parks, etc.
24.24.010 Recommendations of Preservation Board regarding public Structures and monuments.
With the prior written approval of the Planning Commission, the Preservation Board shall make recommendations to the Board of Aldermen and to the Board of Public Service regarding the location, design, and decoration of any public building, bridge, fountain, arch, lamppost, stained glass, tablet, statue, gateway, fence, monument or memorial of any kind of a permanent character and location. No such public Structure or monument shall be erected or installed in any public place, or removed, relocated, or altered in any way until the plans therefor have been submitted to the Preservation Board and the recommendations of the Preservation Board, or a majority thereof, have been made to the property authority. Such recommendations must be made within a period of 45 days from submission to the Preservation Board. Failure to make recommendations within that period shall make the decision of the Preservation Board unnecessary. (Ord. 64689 § 51, 1999.)
24.24.020 Exterior design review of Structures or fixtures paid for by City or erected upon or extending over public streets, parks, etc.
No construction of any building, arch, gate, fence or other fixture which is to be paid for either wholly or in part by the City from general revenue funds of the City shall be begun unless the exterior design thereof shall have been submitted to the Preservation Board and recommendations made by it, except as herein provided, before the final approval thereof by the officer or other person having authority to contract therefor. The approval of the Preservation Board shall be required in respect to all fixtures or structures belonging to any person which shall be erected upon or extending over any public street, highway, stream, lake, square, park or other public place within the City, except as provided in this title. In deeds or leases for land made by the City, restrictions may be imposed requiring that the design and location of structures to be altered or erected thereon shall be first approved by the Preservation Board. Nothing requiring the recommendation or approval of the Preservation Board as provided in this section or Section 24.24.010 of this chapter shall be changed in exterior design or location without its approval; provided, that, in case of dispute, the Board of Public Service shall be the final arbiter and its decision shall prevail. If the Preservation Board fails to act upon any matter submitted to it under this section within 45 days after such submission, its approval of the matter submitted shall be presumed. (Ord. 64689 § 52, 1999.)
