For each specific SPD established by the City, a separate conceptual development plan shall be created and adopted by Council, following the procedures set forth in this Chapter. A conceptual development plan consists of maps, text and/or graphics encompassing the following three elements: the conceptual plan, development guidelines and status of uses.
(a) Conceptual Plan. The conceptual plan shall be drawn at a usable scale, shall include an accurate legal description of the proposed SPD and shall include the following as a minimum:
(1) Circulation systems identifying all major pedestrian and vehicular ways;
(2) Schematic presentation of basic land uses and their relationship to existing vegetation, topography, and other natural features of the site, including descriptions of proposed uses in the non-residential portions of the site;
(3) Density of residential areas and an indication of the structure type(s);
(4) Transitions between the SP district and adjacent districts, i.e., buffers and access. Plan must include adjoining land uses.
(b) Development Guidelines. The conceptual development plan will establish guidelines for development in the SPD, either incorporated into the conceptual plan or contained in a separate written text. The following list is to be used as a guide, but is not necessarily inclusive of all requirements.
(1) Location, size, materials and use of all buildings;
(2) Open space and density;
(3) Landscaping, buffers, screening and environmental and natural resource protection;
(4) Minimum lot areas, frontage, width, setbacks, and maximum building height;
(5) Floor area ratios, lot coverage, minimum floor area;,
(6) Parking, signage and exterior lighting;
(7) Exterior renovation, altering or demolition; and
(8) Erosion and sedimentation control.
(c) Status of Uses. Land uses shall be depicted within the conceptual development plan. The Conceptual Development Plan may be divided into subdistricts and may contain provisions for principally permitted uses, accessory uses, and conditionally permitted uses.
