The City of Madeira requires a permit for any new construction, remodel or sign that may be installed within the city limits of Madeira. For commercial permits, the applicant is required to file the building permit application, 5 sets of plans (which have been stamped by a registered architect), and 5 site plans. When the permit is received, the City will send one set of plans to the Architectural Review Officer (ARO), one set to the Fire Department and three sets to the Chief Building Official. A meeting with the ARO is required so that parking and site improvement issues may be reviewed prior to building permit approval.
The ARO will review the Site Plan Requirements to make sure the improvements are compatible with the zoning code which incorporates the commercial setbacks and parking requirements for that use and to make sure the use is permitted in the district in which it is located.
A commercial variance or commercial sign variance may be required if the zoning code requirements cannot be met. The Planning Commission may grant variances for extreme cases in accordance with the Duncan Factors established by the Supreme Court.
