An historic preservation review is necessary for any proposed alteration, change, restoration or removal of any architectural feature of a building or structure, (including exterior signage and painting) for any historically designated property under the provisions of this section. Application for historic preservation review shall be made to the building official through the regular building permit procedure of the city.

(e)

Historic preservation review acceptance; however, shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of a building permit.

(f)

Any person violating this procedure or any other provision of this article shall be subject to the penalty provisions of this chapter set forth in section 46-9 and to the general penalty provisions of this Code set forth in section 1-15.
