§ 154.196 PROCEDURE.

   (A)   Initial development plan.

      (1)   (a)   When a petitioner wants to request a rezoning to the Planned Development District, he or she shall submit his or her request to the Office of Planning and Zoning, showing the information specified in § 154.197, a minimum of 30 days prior to the Planning Commission meeting at which consideration is desired.

         (b)   After the planned development request has been reviewed, the Planning Commission shall make a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners on the requested rezoning. The Board of County Commissioners shall then act to approve or deny said request.

      (2)   This request for rezoning is subject to the requirements for amendment of the zoning regulations specified in §§ 154.400 through 154.404. No permit shall be issued within the development until the final development plan is approved and the plat is filed.

   (B)   Final development plan.

      (1)   Prior to construction on any lots in the planned development, the petitioner shall present a final development plan, showing the information specified in § 154.198, to the Planning Commission, who shall have the sole authority to approve, deny, or amend said plan.

      (2)   The final development plan may be submitted in conjunction with the initial development plan for concurrent approval on any subareas the developer is ready to commit to a final plan. All the information required for both an initial and final development plan must be shown for the area submitted for concurrent approval, except that the developer may reference the requirements of one of the traditional zoning districts as the development standard for a particular subarea.

   (C)   Amendments.

      (1)   Major amendments. Major amendments to the initial and/or final development plan shall be required to be approved as an amendment to the zoning regulations, requiring Planning Commission review, and Board of County Commissioners approval.

      (2)   Minor amendments. Minor amendments to the initial and/or final development plan shall be required to be approved by the Planning Commission at a hearing. Notice of such hearing shall be given by the posting of a sign on the property. Minor amendments to the initial development plan may also be made by the submission and approval of a final development plan, which is changed from the approved initial development plan. Any such amendments shall be shown as a change from the initial development plan on the final development plan.

      (3)   Minimal amendments. Minimal amendments to the final development plan shall be submitted to the Planning Director on a reproducible development plan showing the requested changes. The Planning Director may then approve such change, in writing, if he or she deems it appropriate.
