(a) Application for a Zoning and Architectural Permit in the VGD shall be submitted with eight complete copies of the required plan (except for any required samples of exterior materials where only one sample of each material is required), to the Zoning Inspector.
Applications must be complete in order to be processed. However, partial processing of an application by the Village does not eliminate the requirement for providing further information as necessary to meet the review as described in this Chapter 1173. The time frames as established in Section 1141.05 shall be applicable.
(b) After staff review and recommendations, the application and plans shall be forwarded to the Planning Commission for hearing. The Commission may request additional information from the Zoning Inspector in order to make its recommendation. In determining the acceptability of the site plan, the Commission shall consider all of the requirements in the development standards and design guidelines of Section 1173.03.
(c) In the case of an application for one or more conditional uses and/or applications involving one or more variances, after the hearing and consideration, the Commission shall, either with or without application modifications, approve the application contingent on the applicant obtaining the approval, under the application as contingently approved by the Commission, of the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals of any conditional uses(s) and variance(s), or deny the application. In all other cases, after the hearing and consideration, the Commission shall approve or deny the application, or approve with modifications.
(d) Thereafter, the Zoning Inspector shall issue or refuse to issue a Zoning and Architectural Permit. In all circumstances, the site plan shall be considered a condition of approval of the application. Construction must start within twelve months and be completed within twenty-four months from the date of final approval. With approval of the Commission, subsequent minor modifications of the approved site plan may be made, provided such changes do not alter the essential character, as determined by the Commission, of the original plan as approved. If the Commission determines that such changes are significant, the site plan shall be resubmitted to the Commission for approval as a new application. Any new construction, exterior modification or structural alteration to existing structures which proceed prior to final approval of the site plan shall be deemed to be an abatable nuisance.
(e) Appeals. Appeals from decisions of the Commission on an application for site plan approval may be had as provided in Chapter 1141.
