(A) The Planning and Zoning Appeals Board shall review, from time to time, the existing regulations for the control of land subdivision in the city and submit to the City Council its recommendations, if any, for the revision of the regulations.
(B) Additionally, the Planning and Zoning Appeals Board shall consider staff recommendations and review and approve or deny all applications and plats for proposed major subdivisions for consistency with city ordinance and general statute. In any instance where deviations are requested from any regulations which are approved by administrative review the Planning and Zoning Appeals Board shall first hear and approve or deny a variance for the deviations prior to considering approval of the subdivision.
(C) In any instance where Planning and Zoning Appeals Board or City Council are granted by ordinance the sole discretion in approval or denial of any aspect of subdivision or development regulations within the city that are conditional in nature, such as conditional zoning or design review districts, the decisions shall be quasi-judicial in nature and conducted by formal hearing in a process similar in nature to a special use permit.
