Review Committee will base their recommendation to the Redevelopment Commission on how well the proposals have followed these guidelines. The Design Guidelines may be reviewed and revised as necessary by Redevelopment Commission action. F. Building Permits No permit shall be issued by the South Bend Building Department for the construction of any building in the West Washington-Chapin Development Area area or the reconstruction, alteration, or rehabilitation of any building in the Area, other than a single family residential structure, unless the application for such permit shall bear an endorsement by the Committee that such proposed construction is appropriate and conforms to the standards set forth in the West Washington-Chapin Design Guidelines. G. Review All proposals filed with the Design Review Committee for review and approval shall be accompanied by architectural plans and/or engineering drawings and specifications for the work involved. Such plans shall be reviewed for compliance with the standards and objectives of the Development Plan and Design Guidelines. Upon receipt of the plans the staff of the Department of Economic Development will review them, prepare a staff report, and schedule a meeting of the Design Review Committee with the developer. At this meeting the Design Review Committee will review plans and the staff report with the developer and either approve the plans as submitted, ask for additional information, approve the plans as modified, or reject the plans. The developer will be notified in writing of modification in plans or specifications that are necessary to receive approval. Approval by the Design Review Committee does not constitute approval of any federal, state or local building, zoning or other requirements but is solely pertaining to the Design Guidelines over which the committee has advisory jurisdiction for the Commission. The Committee shall have the right to waive the review process for any project. H. Amendments to Disapproved Developer's Plan Within thirty days after disapproval of a Development plan, the developer may file with the Committee an amendment to such changes made necessary to meet the modifications requested by the Committee. Review procedures for an amended plan shall be the same as for an initial submission. Prevention of Speculation Contracts for the purchase of property owned by the Redevelopment Commission will provide that the redeveloper agree that his purchase of the property is for the purpose of redevelopment and not for land speculation. Prior to the completion of his redevelopment project, the redeveloper may not sell, lease, or otherwise transfer such land (or improvements) without the prior written consent of the City of South Bend, Department of Redevelopment.
