SECTION:

7.5.303: Development Plan
7.5.301: PURPOSE:
This Section clarifies the differences between, and the intended use of, two (2) types of plans that the Manager may require to be submitted and approved before different types of development may proceed. It does not address plans prepared by or at the direction of the City, such as comprehensive plans, neighborhood plans, transportation corridor plans, or facility master plans. (Ord. 23-03)
7.5.302: LAND USE PLAN:
   A.   A Land Use Plan is a plan required in some circumstances to show the proposed layouts of land uses, development intensities and densities, primary access points, green space, public open space systems and areas that should be preserved or protected, potential needs for public land dedications, and other aspects of proposed development at a conceptual level. The purpose of a Land Use Plan is to provide the City the information needed to evaluate how a proposed development may impact surrounding development without requiring the applicant to provide the levels of detail required on a Development Plan.
   B.   The Manager may waive or modify the level of detail required based on the type and scale of the proposed development and the type of application involved.
   C.   Land Use Plans are generally required in connection with applications for annexation of land and applications to rezone land. Details about Land Use Plans and the Land Use Plan review process are in Section 7.5.514 (Land Use Plan). (Ord. 23-03)
7.5.303: DEVELOPMENT PLAN:
   A.   A Development Plan is a detailed plan for development that is used to confirm that proposed development will comply with all applicable requirements of this UDC and related regulations adopted by the City. Among other things, it is used to confirm compliance with the requirements in Article 7.2 (Zone Districts), Article 7.3 (Use Regulations), and those provisions of Article 7.4 (Development Standards and Incentives) applicable when a specific development is proposed.
   B.   Development Plans are generally required for all proposed development of primary land uses and primary structures except those that include only attached or detached single-family, two-family dwellings, or Accessory Dwelling Units. Development Plans are also generally required for significant expansions of existing buildings, significant changes of property use within an existing building, and conversions of vacant land for development (with exceptions).
   C.   Development Plan review may indicate that alternative measures beyond the applicable minimum standards may be required in order to address the Development Plan review criteria.
