Site plan reviews should proceed and generally move in phases to include:
(a) Preliminary site plan reviewed by the Planning Commission. The preliminary site plan phase may be omitted when, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, the project is too minor to warrant preliminary site plan review; and,
(b) Final site plan reviewed by the Planning Commission. If an application requires a variance, see Section 1240.16.
(Ord. 2010-059. Passed 3-7-11; Ord. 2020-021A. Passed 6-15- 20.)
Site plans, including preliminary and final, shall be reviewed and distributed according to the following procedures:
(a) Review for Completeness. Within ten (10) days after receiving an application, the Zoning Administrator shall review the submitted application for completeness and compliance with the applicable submission requirements. If the application is deemed insufficient, the Zoning Administrator shall notify the applicant of the necessary changes or additional information needed. When the application is deemed complete and the application fee has been paid, the Zoning Administrator shall officially accept the application for consideration of the action(s) requested on the date such determination is made and place it on the Planning Commission's agenda or declare the application a Minor Alteration, as permitted by Section 1240.05
, if applicable.
(b) Distribution of Plans. When the Zoning Administrator determines that the application for preliminary or final plans are complete, the Zoning Administrator shall forward the application to the appropriate City departments and professional consultants for review and comment.
(c) Transmission to the Planning Commission. For preliminary and final site plan reviews, the Zoning Administrator shall distribute the application for site plan review and any reports prepared by the individuals in subsection (b) above to the Planning Commission, prior to the time of the Commission's review at their next regularly scheduled meeting.
(Ord. 2010-059. Passed 3-7-11; Ord. 2020-021A. Passed 6-15-20.)
When a minor alteration is proposed to an existing building, structure or site arrangement or a previously approved final site plan on a zoning lot otherwise subject to site plan review pursuant to Section 1240.02, the Zoning Administrator may approve the application as specified in this section.
(a) For the purposes of this section, a minor alteration shall include:
(1) Small, incidental alterations of existing off-street surface parking lots;
(2) Small, incidental construction of accessory structures;
(3) Incidental additions or alterations to principal buildings on large zoning lots; and,
(4) Minor design modifications that will have no discernible impact on neighboring properties, the public, or those intended to occupy or use the proposed development.
(b) The Zoning Administrator shall review the proposal to determine that the proposal is not contrary to and complies with all applicable regulations in this Zoning Code and will not result in any material adverse impact to the site or surrounding areas.
(c) After reviewing the application, the Zoning Administrator shall:
(1) Approve the site plan as submitted; or,
(2) Deny the site plan when the application does not demonstrate that the required standards have been met.
