(A) Development plans shall receive their last review by the Planning Commission as “final” development plans. The developer may choose to bypass the preliminary development plan review by initially submitting an application that meets the more stringent requirements of a final development plan.
(B) No developer shall sell or agree to sell any lot until after a final development plan has been approved by the Planning Commission and, where required, a subdivision plat has been recorded at the County Courthouse. The Planning Commission may take any of the following actions after reviewing a final development plan:
(1) Approval means the developer may apply for a grading permit, building permit, and/or begin the process of recording a subdivision plat. Planning Commission approval shall not be deemed to constitute or effect an acceptance of the dedication of any street or other proposed space offered for dedication since such acceptance is the prerogative of the city and county legislative bodies;
(2) Conditional approval means the developer may not proceed as outlined in subsection (1) above until the specified conditions have been met. A revised plan may be required but no completely new application is required;
(3) Postponement means that the Planning Commission has deferred action until some future Planning Commission meeting in order that clarifications can be made in regard to the final development plan. The Planning Commission may require specific changes to the development plan, but no new application is required; and
(4) Disapproval means denial of the final development plan. The developer must re-work the final development plan to conform to Planning Commission requirements and re-submit it as a completely new final development plan.
