§ 16-20A.005. Certificates of appropriateness.

Certificates of appropriateness within this district shall be required as follows:

(1)

When required:

a)

To change the exterior appearance of any portion of a structure within the district;

b)

To erect a new structure or to make an addition to any structure within the district;

c)

To demolish or move any contributing structure, in whole or in part, within the district;

d)

To construct off-street or off-site parking; and

e)

To erect a new building that replaces a non-contributing building, provided that the applicant, prior to the demolition of said non-contributing building, shall have complied with the requirements of section 16-20.007(c).

(2)

Type required:

a)

When a certificate of appropriateness is required under the provisions of subsection (a) above, the procedures for determining the appropriate type of certificate shall be those specified in section 16-20.008 of the Zoning Code. Provided, however, that a partial demolition of a contributing building shall require a Type IV certificate of appropriateness only when said partial demolition will result in the loss of significant architectural features which destroys the structure's historic interpretability or importance.

b)

If the proposed alteration for minor façade alterations, fences, walls, accessory structures, decks, paving and satellite dishes meets the requirements of section 16-20A.006, section 16-20A.007, section 16-20A.008, section 16-20A.009, section 16-20A.010, and section 16-20A.011, as applicable, then the director of the commission shall issue the Type II certificate. If the proposed alteration does not meet said requirements, the director of the Atlanta urban design commission (the commission) shall deny the application. Appeals from any such decision of the director regarding the approval and/or denial of Type II Certificates may be taken by any aggrieved person by filing an appeal in the manner prescribed in the appeals section of chapter 16-20.008(a) for Type I Certificates.
