Every applicant, upon applying for a permit pursuant to this section shall pay to the City the nonrefundable fee established by separate ordinance. B. Permit Review and Issuance 1. Upon receipt of a complete and accurate application for a sign permit, the Planning Director and/or Building Commissioner shall examine the plans and specifications, and, within 30 days, determine if the signs proposed in the application are in compliance with this chapter. 2. In the event of a variance request, or other delay caused by the applicant, the time for making a determination of sign compliance under this section shall be extended for a period of time equal to the time period during which the variance application is pending, or to the period of time of other delay caused by the applicant, whichever is applicable. 3. If the proposed sign complies with this chapter, all other applicable laws and ordinances of the City and the Ohio Building Code, if applicable, the Building Commissioner shall forthwith issue the requested permit upon receipt of the appropriate fees. Plan approval and subsequent granting of a permit for any sign subject to the Ohio Building Code is governed by the requirements and time restrictions of the Ohio Building Code. If the Building Commissioner determines that the application should be denied, he shall issue a written statement with his decision, explaining the reason(s) for the denial. 4.

The Building Commissioner shall issue a written statement with their decision, explaining the reasons for revocation. D. Appeals 1. If the applicant is dissatisfied with any determination of the Planning Director or Building Commissioner made during the application process related to the requirements of this chapter or zoning review, including but not limited to requirement of additional materials, the classification of a proposed sign, the denial of a permit or the revocation of a permit, the applicant may, within 10 business days following that determination, file an appeal by making application to the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals. 2. The Building and Zoning Board of Appeals shall hear the applicant's appeal at a meeting which shall be scheduled and held no later than 30 days following the date of the filing of the application.
