1. The developer shall submit site plans of the proposed development which shall be adequate in detail to determine compliance with the provisions of this section; and which shall show the arrangement of buildings, types of shops and stores, design and circulation pattern of the off street parking area, and utility and drainage easements and facilities; and the relationship of the shopping center development to adjacent areas which it may affect; and
2. Evidence that indicates, to the satisfaction of the city council and planning commission, the ability and intent of the developer to carry out the development of the shopping center in accordance with the plans submitted in accordance with subsection A1 of this section.
B. Development procedures are as follows:
1. The developer shall obtain a building permit for the shopping center in accordance with the requirements and procedure of section 12-387 of this chapter, and shall begin construction of the shopping center within two (2) years after the effective date of rezoning for the shopping center and shall make a reasonable and continuous progress toward completion. If the shopping center is not under construction within two (2) years after the effective date of the shopping center rezoning, the planning commission shall review the status of the development, and if it shall find that the developer cannot proceed immediately with the development, in conformity with the requirements of this section, this fact, and the reasons thereof, shall be reported to the city council. The city council may, at its discretion, rezone the shopping center district to a zoning district classification consistent with the general plan; and
2. Any substantial deviation from the plans submitted at the time of rezoning shall constitute a violation of the building permit authorizing construction of the shopping center. Substantial changes in plans shall be resubmitted to the city council and the planning commission to ensure compliance with the requirements and purpose and intent of this section, and no building permit shall be issued for any construction which is not in substantial conformity with the approved plan.
