Council may extend the duration of an IDC Overlay District by an additional six months, provided that an IDC Overlay District may not remain in effect for more than two years from the date it was first established. Notice of a proposed extension is to be given and a public hearing held in accordance with § 151.1318 above. Council may only adopt an IDC Overlay District extension after receiving an affirmative recommendation from the City Planning Commission and finding that the following three standards are met:
(A) Complex study. The study of the proposed amendment to the Land Usage Code or map that would affect the allowable land uses or site development standards within the IDC Overlay District has proven to be extraordinarily complex by reason of unusual geographic, physical or social conditions in the district;
(B) Study incomplete. The City Planning Commission has not yet completed the consideration of the proposed Land Usage Code amendments or map changes that would affect the allowable land uses and/or development standards within the IDC Overlay District; and
(C) Inconsistent uses. There is a prospect of change in use, construction of new structures or alteration or demolition of existing structures that would be inconsistent with preliminary objectives or findings for the area approved by the City Planning Commission.
