Changes to the Exterior of the Building

  • Any changes to the exterior of the building may require a land use review. The type of process will depend on the extent of the changes.
     
  • Exterior changes may include adding, removing, or relocating windows and/or doors.
     
  • All rooftop equipment is required to be screened from view.
     
  • This includes heating and cooling units. Planning must review plans for all new or replaced units to confirm that they are properly screened. Your mechanical contractor will need to submit building elevations with the mechanical permit that indicate the height of the roof, the height of the parapet, and the height of the roof top unit. If the parapet does not fully screen the unit, additional screening may be necessary.
