Zoning compliance review is required for all construction or new uses to determine whether they comply with the applicable provisions of these planning regulations. Before the City may issue any business license, design review permit, or building permit, the Director shall review the application to determine whether the use or construction complies with all provisions of these planning regulations and any planning permit issued pursuant to the requirements of these planning regulations or any previous regulations, and whether all conditions of such permits have been satisfied.

An application for zoning compliance review shall be filed and processed in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of this chapter, Common Procedures. The Director shall review the application to determine whether the proposed use or construction is allowed by right, requires any type of planning permit, is allowed pursuant to any previously approved planning permit, or is prohibited. If the Director determines that the proposal conforms to the requirements of these planning regulations, a zoning compliance approval shall be issued. If the Director determines that the proposal does not conform to the requirements of these planning regulations, a zoning compliance approval shall not be issued, and the applicant shall be advised as to how the proposal could be brought into compliance.
