(a) General Procedure. In general, the procedure for approval of a P.U.D. requires site plan review and approval of a preliminary and final development plan.
(b) Preapplication Meeting. The developer should meet with the Director of Buildings and the City Planning Commission prior to submission of the preliminary plan to discuss informally the purpose and intent of the U-2-A District and other pertinent zoning regulations and the criteria and standards contained in this Zoning Code. At this time, the developer should also be familiarized with zoning and building regulations and the drainage, sewerage and water systems of the City.
(c) Approval of Preliminary Development Plan or Rezoning to P.U.D. An application for preliminary P.U.D. approval shall be filed with the Commission by at least one owner or lessee of the property for which the P.U.D. is proposed.
Where the property at the time of application for designation of a U-2-A District is otherwise zoned, the applicant shall submit a request for rezoning to P.U.D. in conformity with the procedure described in this Zoning Code.
If the land is rezoned to P.U.D., and if any attempt is made to deviate from the preliminary development plan, or if a deviation from the development plan occurs without the express approval of Council and the Commission, then Council may, at its option, rezone the property to any other zoning category which Council finds and determines to be consistent with the overall planning and zoning of the City. All deed restrictions shall be enforced.

(e) Preparation of Final Development Plan. Prior to an application for a building permit for the P.U.D. or any part thereof, and after approval of the preliminary plan, the developer shall submit the final development plan to the Commission and Council. The final development plan shall be in conformity with the approved preliminary plan, unless amendments to the plan are approved by the Commission and Council. Fifteen copies of the final development plan shall be submitted and endorsed by a registered surveyor or engineer.
(f) Application for Approval of Final Development Plan. An application for approval of the final development plan shall be filed with the Commission by at least one owner or lessee of the property for which the P.U.D. is proposed. At a minimum, the application shall contain the following:

If no construction has begun within one year with extensions or within two years after final approval has been granted, the approved final development plan shall be void. An extension of the time limit or modification of the approved final development plan may be approved by the Commission and Council if they find that such extension or modification is not in conflict with the public interest.
(h) Supplementary Conditions.
(1) No zoning amendment passed during the time period granted for the approved final development plan shall affect the terms under which approval of the P.U.D. was granted.
(2) If one or more dwelling units are destroyed by fire or other cause, no other structure may be built in its place, except the same type of dwelling unit, which shall be built to the original intent of this District.
