Within one year after Council's approval in principle of the preliminary development plan and the zone change, the developer shall submit a final development plan to the Planning Commission. The final development plan shall be in general conformance with the preliminary development plan approved in principle. Five copies of the final development plan shall be submitted and may be endorsed by a qualified professional team which should include a licensed architect, registered land surveyor, registered civil engineer and registered landscape architect.
(a) Contents of Application for Approval. An application for approval of the final development plan and subdivision plat shall be filed with the Planning Director by at least one owner or lessee of property for which the planned unit development is proposed. Each plat shall be signed by the owner or lessee, attesting to the truth and exactness of all information supplied on the application and plat for final development plan. Each application shall clearly state that the approval shall expire and may be revoked if construction on the project has not begun within one year from the date of issuance of the approval. The application shall contain the following information:
(1) A survey of the proposed development site, showing the dimensions and bearings of the property lines, area in acres, topography, existing features of the development site, including major wooded areas, structures, streets, easements, utility lines and land uses;
(2) All the information required on the preliminary development plan; the location and sizes of lots, location and proposed density of dwelling units, nonresidential building intensity and land use considered suitable for adjacent properties;
(3) A schedule for the development of units to be constructed in progression and a description of the design principles for buildings and streetscapes; tabulation of the number of acres in the proposed project for various uses, the number of housing units proposed by type; estimated residential population; anticipated timing for each unit; and standards for height, open space, building density, parking areas, population density and public improvements proposed for each unit of the development whenever the applicant proposes an exception from standard zoning districts or other ordinances governing development.
(4) Engineering feasibility studies and plans showing, as necessary, water, sewer, drainage, electricity, telephone and natural gas installations, waste disposal facilities, street improvements and the nature and extent of earth work required for site preparation and development;
(5) Site plan, showing building(s), various functional use areas, circulation and their relationship;
(6) Preliminary building plans including floor plans and exterior elevations;
(7) Landscaping plans;
(8) Deed restrictions, protective covenants and other legal statements or devices to be used to control the use, development and maintenance of the land and the improvements thereon, including those areas which are to be commonly owned and maintained.
(b) Recommendation by Planning Commission. After review by the Site Plan Review Committee, the Planning Commission shall recommend to Council that the final development plan and subdivision plat be approved as presented or disapproved. The Commission shall then transmit all papers constituting the record and the recommendations to Council. Before making its recommendation as required in this subsection, the Planning Commission shall find that the facts submitted with the final application establish that:
(1) The proposed development can be initiated within one year of the date of approval;
(2) Each individual unit of the development, as well as the total development, can exist as an independent unit capable of creating an environment of sustained desirability and stability or that adequate assurance will be provided that such objective will be attained; the uses proposed will not be detrimental to present and potential surrounding uses, but will have a beneficial effect;
(3) The streets and thoroughfares proposed are suitable and adequate to carry anticipated traffic, and increased densities will not generate traffic in such amounts as to overload the street network outside the planned unit development;
(4) Any proposed quasi-public development can be justified at the locations proposed;
(5) Any deviation from district requirements of other residential districts is warranted by the design and other amenities incorporated in the final development plan, in accord with the planned unit development and the adopted policy of the Planning Commission and Council;
(6) The area surrounding the development can be planned and zoned in coordination and substantial compatibility with the proposed development;
(7) The planned unit development is in general conformance with the comprehensive plan of the City;
(8) The existing and proposed utility services are adequate for the population densities and nonresidential uses proposed.
(c) Action by Council. Within sixty days after receipt of the final recommendations of the Planning Commission, Council shall by ordinance either approve or disapprove the final plat as presented. If the final development plan is approved, Council shall direct the Zoning Inspector to issue zoning permits only in accordance with the approved final development plan.
(d) Expiration and Extension of Approval Period. The approval of a final development plan and subdivision plat for a planned unit development district shall be for a period not to exceed one year. If no construction has begun within one year after Council's approval is granted, the approved final development plan shall be void, and the land shall revert to its previous zone classification. An extension of the time limit may be approved if the Planning Commission finds that such extension is not in conflict with the public interest.
