(a) Whenever a person proposes to construct a structure or modify an existing structure in order to operate a small-scale alternate energy facility, he shall obtain a preliminary building permit before submitting preliminary plans and specifications to the utilities manager as required under Section 15.40.030(c). The preliminary building permit shall be obtained in compliance with the same procedures and requirements set forth in Section 5.10.030 for other building permits, except that no fee shall be imposed or collected by the city clerk until such time as a final building permit is issued.

If such a change has occurred, the applicant shall submit an amended application and otherwise follow the procedures of Section 5.10.030(c) before a final permit may be issued.
