      2.   Commercial And Business Use Buildings: Commercial and business use buildings in the General Business District (C-1) and existing on the effective date hereof shall be allowed to continue with their existing designs upon such date, except when the exterior appearance of any such building is to be altered in any manner which requires a building permit. When such building permit is required, the alteration shall comply with the requirements of this section.

      3.   New Buildings: New commercial and business use buildings in the General Business District (C-1) which are constructed after the effective date hereof must comply with the design standards set forth in this section.
