(a) There is hereby established a Site Plan Review Committee which shall consist of the Mayor, the Safety-Service Director, City Engineer, Planning Director, Building Inspector and Associate City Planner. An affirmative vote of three members shall be necessary for approval of the Site Plan. The Site Plan Review Committee, at its discretion, may refer the site plan to the Planning Commission for action. A Site Plan shall be submitted to the Site Plan Review Committee for approval of:
(1) Any use or development for which the submission of a site plan is required by any provision of the Zoning Ordinance.
(2) Any development, except single-family and two-family residential for which off-street parking areas are provided as required in Section 1183.01.
(3) Any use in an RM-1, RM-2, O-1, O-2, B-1, B-2, B-3, I-1 or I-2 District lying contiguous to, or across a street from a single-family residential district.
(4) Any use except single or two-family residential which lies contiguous to a major thoroughfare or collector street.
(5) All residentially related uses permitted in single-family districts such as, but not limited to: churches, schools and public facilities.
(6) Building additions or accessory buildings shall not require Site Plan Review Committee review unless off-street parking in addition to that already provided on the site is required.
(b) Every site plan submitted to the Site Plan Review Committee shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. No site plan shall be approved until same has been reviewed by the Building Department in coordination with the Fire Department and the Police Department, for compliance with the standards of the respective departments.
(Ord. 143-1971. Passed 2-7-72.)
(c) The following information shall be included on the site plan:
(1) The scale of the site plan shall be determined by the following schedule:
A. If subject property is under five acres in area, the scale shall not be less than 1" = 20'.
B. If subject property is five to ten acres in area, the scale shall not be less than 1" = 50'.
C. If subject property is over ten acres in area, the scale shall not be less than 1" = 100'.
(2) Date, northpoint and scale.
(3) The dimensions of all lot and property lines, showing the relationship of the subject property to abutting properties.
(4) The location of all existing and proposed structures on the subject property and all existing structures with 100 feet of the subject property.
(5) The location of all existing and proposed drives and parking areas.
(6) The location and right-of-way widths of all abutting streets and alleys.

(Ord. 82-1970. Passed 11-2-70.)
(d) In the process of reviewing the site plan, the Site Plan Review Committee shall consider:
(1) The location and design of driveways providing vehicular ingress and egress from the site, in relation to streets giving access to the site, and in relation to pedestrian traffic.
(2) The traffic circulation features within the site and location of automobile parking areas; and make such requirements with respect to any matters as will assure:
A. Safety and convenience of both vehicular and pedestrian traffic both within the site and in relation to access streets.
B. Satisfactory and harmonious relationships between the development on the site and the existing and prospective development of contiguous land and adjacent neighborhoods.
(3) The Site Plan Review Committee may further require landscaping fences and walls in pursuance of these objectives and same shall be provided and maintained as a condition of the establishment and the continued maintenance of any use to which they are appurtenant.
(4) In those instances wherein the Site Plan Review Committee finds that an excessive number of ingress and/or egress points may occur with relation to major or secondary thoroughfares, thereby diminishing the carrying capacity of the thoroughfare, the Site Plan Review Committee may recommend marginal access drives. For a narrow frontage, which will require a single outlet, the Site Plan Review Committee may recommend that money in escrow be placed with the Municipality so as to provide for a marginal service drive equal in length to the frontage of the property involved. Occupancy permits shall not be issued until the improvement is physically provided, or moneys have been deposited with the City.
