(a) Whenever two or more adjacent subdivision lots are developed jointly in accordance with this section, they will be considered and treated as one zoning lot; provided that whenever the lots involve two or more zoning districts, the lots will be subject to § 21-4.50.
(b) An owner, owners, duly authorized agents of the owners, or duly authorized lessees holding leases with a minimum of 30 years remaining in their terms of adjacent subdivision lots who believe that joint development of their properties would result in a more efficient use of land shall apply for a conditional use permit (minor) to undertake such development.
(c) When applying for a conditional use permit for joint development under this section, the applicants shall submit to the director an agreement which binds themselves and their successors in title or lease, individually and collectively, to maintain the pattern of joint development proposed in such a way that there will be conformity with applicable zoning regulations. The development standards listed in § 21-2.90-2(c) may not be modified through a conditional use permit for joint development unless allowed through another discretionary approval. The right to enforce the agreement will also be granted to the city. The agreement is subject to the approval of the corporation counsel of the city.
(d) If the director finds that the proposed agreement assures future protection of the public interest, the director shall issue the conditional use permit. Upon issuance of the permit, the agreement, which must be one of the conditions of the permit, must be filed as a covenant running with the land with the bureau of conveyances or the registrar of the land court. Proof of such filing in the form of a copy of the covenant certified by the appropriate agency must be filed with the director before the issuance of any building permit.
