In examining an application for a building permit to which Section 34-77.1 applies, the zoning administrator shall determine if the enlargement, alteration, repair and/or construction is deemed to require commission review in the regulations and standards contained in the ordinance creating the specific historic landmark or historic district. The zoning administrator may, when the ordinance does not require referral, immediately approve issuance of a building permit but shall thereupon notify the commission of such action. With regard to all other applications for a building permit, the zoning administrator shall forward a copy of the application to the historic preservation commission for interpretation, advice and recommendations.
