(Ord. 58-01. Passed 5-29-01; Ord. 79-12. Passed 9-10-12.)
Review and approval of a general development plan and/or final development plan shall be conducted in compliance with the following prior to the issuance of a zoning permit:
(a) General Development Plan. A general development plan that indicates the general concept of development for an entire site including the general location of use areas, open space, designated landmarks, and circulation pattern, shall be required for any project that is to be constructed in phases. Applicants for other types of projects may, but are not required, to submit a general development plan.
(b) Final Development Plan. A final development plan that indicates, among other things, the exact location of buildings, designated landmarks, landscaping, parking areas, access drives, signs, and outdoor storage areas shall be required for the following:
(1) For any proposed development for which, according to division (a) above, a general development plan is required;
(2) All cluster residential, attached single-family and multi-family developments;
(3) New construction of all permitted uses in business, office and industrial districts;
(4) New construction of all special uses; and
(5) Any existing or previously approved development meeting the criteria of division (b)(1) through (4) above that proposes to alter, reconstruct, or otherwise modify a use or site including expanding the floor area of the permitted use; increasing the number of dwelling units in a residential development; or changing the use which requires an increase in the amount of parking or a change in the site's circulation.
(c) Re-occupancy. Re-occupancy of an existing structure when there is no change in the bulk of the structure and no change in the required parking spaces or in the layout of the existing parking lot shall be exempt from the development plan review procedures; however, a business license, acquired through the Building Department, is required.
(Ord. 58-01. Passed 5-29-01; Ord. 139-06. Passed 1-8-07; Ord. 79-12. Passed 9-10-12.)
The applicant is required to meet with the Zoning Enforcement Officer or the Planning Coordinator or his or her designee prior to submitting an application for general development plan review or final development plan review. A meeting with the City Engineer to review all stormwater requirements (as set forth in Chapter 1050 of these Codified Ordinances) may be performed at the same time as the pre-application meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss early and informally with the applicant the purpose and effect of this Planning and Zoning Code and the criteria and standards contained within. However, no action shall be taken at such a meeting and no opinions, suggestions, or recommendations discussed shall be relied on by the applicant to indicate subsequent approval or disapproval of the development plan.
(Ord. 58-01. Passed 5-29-01; Ord. 79-12. Passed 9-10-12; Ord. 39-23. Passed 4-10-23.)
