(a) Submission of Plans. A site plan shall be prepared for each proposed development in a C-3 Motor Service District and five copies of the plan of development shall be submitted to the Planning Commission.
Upon completion of all construction or at the completion of a significant phase of construction, three copies of plans showing the "as-built" construction shall be submitted to the Commission for its files.
(b) Approval of Plans. If the Planning Commission finds the plans are in accord with this and other codes of the City, the final development plan shall then be submitted to Council for approval. Council approval shall be by the majority voting in agreement. A three-fourths majority of Council shall be required to override the disapproval of the Commission. The plan may be modified by the same procedure. No building permits shall be issued by the Building Inspector until such development plan has been approved as provided herein.
Failure to begin construction of all or an independent component of the plan within one year after approval by Council shall void the plan as approved unless an extension of time is approved by Council.
(c) Variance. The Planning Commission may, in specific cases, with the consent of Council, vary or permit exceptions to any of the provisions of this District if it finds that such variances or exceptions will not violate the spirit or intent of the regulations pertaining to this District and that a more harmonious and useful development will result.
