17.56.040 Board action.
The board shall consider all necessary plans, drawings and statements in an endeavor to encourage buildings, structures, or other improvements to be designed and constructed, and so located, that they will not be unsightly, undesirable or obnoxious in appearance to the extent that they will hinder the orderly and harmonious development of the city, impair the desirability of residence or investment or occupation in the city, limit the opportunity to obtain the optimum use and value of the land and improvements, impair the desirability of living conditions on or adjacent to the subject site, conform with the standards included in the local coastal land use plan and/or otherwise adversely affect the general welfare of the community.
A. Preliminary Design Review. The board shall suggest any changes in plans of such proposed buildings, structures, or other improvements, as it may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes of this section, and shall not recommend to the commission approval of any such plans until it is satisfied that such purposes will be accomplished thereby.
B. Final Design Review. In those situations where the site and architectural design approval by the planning commission as described in Section 17.56.050 or by city council on appeal as described in Section 17.56.060 requires additional review by the board, the board shall review submitted final plans and other required final review submittal materials for conformance with the site and architectural design review approval.
