§ 20.12.070. Permits.

A. FUTURE USES. No material change shall be made in the use of the land, and no structure or natural growth shall be erected, altered, planted, or otherwise established, in any of the height limiting zones herein specifically listed, unless a permit therefor shall have been applied for and granted. Each such application shall indicate the purpose for which the permit is desired, with sufficient particularity to permit it to be determined whether the resulting use, structure, natural growth would conform to the regulations herein prescribed. If such determination is in the affirmative, the permit applied for shall be granted.

B.

EXISTING USES. Before an existing use, structure, or natural growth may be replaced, substantially altered or repaired, rebuilt, allowed to grow higher, or replanted, within any of the specified height limiting zones, a permit must be secured from the administrative agency authorizing such replacement, change, or repair. No such permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of a flight hazard or permit a nonconforming use, structure, or natural growth to be made or become higher, or become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter or than it is when the applications for a permit is made. Except as indicated, all applications for a permit for replacement, change, or repair of existing use, structure, or natural growth shall be granted.
