It is the purpose of this title to establish a procedure which will enable the City to review certain proposed improvements of property within the City in order to ensure the orderly and harmonious development of property in a manner that will:
A. Promote the most beneficial relation between present and proposed uses of land.
B. Allow development of property commensurate with the present and foreseeable availability and capacity of City facilities and services. The following factors shall be considered in arriving at a conclusion concerning proposed development of property:
1. The projected population of the proposed development or the proposed intensity of use and the effect the proposal will have on the capacity of existing water and sanitary sewer lines to avoid overloading existing systems;
2. Zoning regulations at the time of the proposal; (Ord. 05-4186, 12-15-2005)
3. The City's plans for future construction and provision for public facilities and services; and
4. The existing and planned City facilities and services for the area which will be affected by the proposed site use. (Ord. 05-4186, 12-15-2005; amd. Ord. 17-4728, 10-3-2017)
C. Ensure compliance with this Code, as amended, including applicable zoning regulations, approved subdivision plats, public works standards, and public safety standards.
D. Encourage adequate provision of surface and subsurface stormwater drainage in order to assure that future development and other properties in the City will not be adversely affected.
E. Provide screening of parking, truck loading, solid waste disposal and outdoor storage areas from adjacent properties.
F. Provide for orderly, safe, and efficient circulation of traffic in the development and throughout the City.
G. Minimize adverse environmental impacts on the developing property. (Ord. 05-4186, 12-15-2005)
H. Mitigate the impact of redevelopment on occupants of proposed projects involving the remodeling or reconstruction of existing multi-family residential dwellings by fostering communication between the property owner and the occupants. (Ord. 17-4728, 10-3-2017)
