(B) Review requirements.
(1) Applicants shall submit 12 sets of site plans with a required application form to the City Clerk for distribution. Site plans will be evaluated for consistency with documentation requirements. Upon acceptance of the application, site plans will be distributed to the appropriate city entity for review and recommendation, according to § 152.006. Application fees and reimbursement of the city’s out-of-pocket expenses shall be in accordance with § 152.157.
(2) Action to approve, modify, or deny site plan applications shall be based upon consistency of the application with the city’s Comprehensive Plan, this chapter, other policies and official controls, and the compatibility of the proposed action with existing area land uses, existing area investments and neighborhood character, capacity of public streets and utilities, and future planned land uses.
(3) Actions on site plans are effective upon a simple majority of members present.
(C) Waiver requirements. The city zoning officer may find that certain characteristics of an application make it unnecessary for the applicant to submit all of the information for an application required by this section. In such cases, the zoning officer may waive, modify or reduce some of the requirements if it is also found that the absence of such information will not inhibit the city’s ability to evaluate the compliance of the proposed site development with the standards of this chapter and any other requirements of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Mayer.
(D) Plan modifications. An amended site plan involving major changes as determined by the Zoning Administrator, shall be applied for and administered as required for a new site plan.
(E) Expiration. Unless the City Council specifically approves a different time when action is officially taken on the request. site plans which have been issued under the provisions of this section shall expire without further action by the Planning Commission or the City Council within one year of the date the site plan is approved, unless the applicant has substantially started the construction of any building, structure, addition or alteration, or use requested as part of the approved site plan. The applicant shall have the right to submit an application for time extension before the expiration of the one year period and the applicant shall apply for an extension thereof by completing and submitting a request for extension, including the renewal fee as established by City Council resolution. The request for extension shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete any building, structure, addition or alteration, or use approved in the site plan. Said extension shall be presented to the Planning Commission for a recommendation and to the City Council for a decision.
