To establish, maintain and approve standards of architectural excellence for all residential dwellings of two (2) or more units, all commercial establishments, industrial buildings, and complexes, schools, churches, public buildings, amenities, parks, and all elements related to the construction and aesthetics of Flagler Beach.
To review all requests for building permits (excluding single-family residences) and advocate for approval or deny such requests based upon aesthetic or other considerations such as quality of workmanship, nature of materials, harmony of external design with existing structures, change in topography, grade elevations and/or drainage, factors of public health, safety or welfare and the effect of such proposed change or work on the use, enjoyment, or value of any of the other neighboring properties.
To review any proposed changes initiated by itself, the building official, or the City Commission in the textural provisions of this ordinance and report its recommendations to the City Commission.
To review requests and applications for planned unit developments as stipulated within the provisions of this ordinance.
To advise the city commission on all matters related to land use planning and community development as directed by the City Commission.
To review all requests for rezoning (amendments), hold required public hearings to receive citizen input and recommend approval or denial of such requests to the City Commission. A public hearing constitutes published notice, both at city hall and in local newspapers, and the apprising of property owners within a radius of five hundred (500) feet of the property under consideration for rezoning by certified mail of the intent to rezone.
To review any request for a special exception under the provisions of this ordinance and submit its recommendations to the City Commission.
To render advice upon appeal in specific cases advocating such variance from the terms of this ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship."
