(a) Purpose. It is the purpose of this chapter to require site plan review approval for certain buildings, structures and uses that can be expected to have a significant impact on natural resources, traffic patterns, adjacent parcels and the character of future development. Site plan approval shall be required before building permits are granted by the City for parcels subject to this chapter. The regulations contained in this chapter are intended to promote:
(1) Safe and convenient vehicle and pedestrian traffic movements, both within a site and in relation to access streets;
(2) Harmonious relationships between buildings, structures and uses, both within a site and within adjacent sites;
(3) Conservation of natural amenities and resources; and
(4) Compliance with all other applicable regulations of this Zoning Code.
(b) Application.
(1) Applications for site plan approval shall be available at the Planning Division and a complete application packet shall be filed with the Inspections Division. A complete application packet shall consist of a completed application, a digital format of the site plan and other applicable drawings, supporting information, and the review fee established by Section 802.24.
(2) All requirements for site plan approval shall be filed with the Inspections Division at one time, as a complete single submittal.
(3) Once a complete application, site plan, and other materials are submitted, the Planning and Zoning Administrator or their designee will schedule a review at the earliest possible date.
(4) Any additional information requested by city staff must be submitted no later than 180 days from the date a complete application is filed. The application shall expire if the requested additional information is not received by the end of the 180-day period. An applicant may submit a new application and fee.
