In addition to all requirements set forth in the city's building codes, the following requirements must also be met to the satisfaction of the building official or of the City Recorder before a building permit may be issued:
A. The building to be moved shall be located and used in a manner consistent with all zoning and land use ordinances of the city, together with any other applicable ordinances, laws or governmental regulations.
B. The buildings shall be similar to the other buildings in the immediate vicinity in size, age, architectural style and structural condition so as to be compatible with other buildings in the areas and so as not to cause property in the areas to decrease in value.
Denial of a building permit application for failure to comply with subsection A of this section may be appealed to the City Council by written notice filed within ten days following such denial. In any event, the City Recorder may refer the application to the City Council for a determination of compliance with subsection B of this section. (Ord. 4-1974 § 17, 1974.)
