The requirements for the concept plan and procedures for approval must be the same as those for a project plan as enumerated in division 59-D-2 except for the following:
(a) In lieu of the requirements of section 59-D-2.12, the following items must be shown on a generalized land use plan of appropriate scale:
(1) The general locations of points of access to the site.
(2) The location and boundaries of all building development areas including the general land use quantities for each area.
(3) All setbacks from roads and exterior property lines.
(4) The maximum amount of commercial or office floor area proposed, and the overall floor area ratio of the commercial or office uses. This is the ratio of the proposed amount of commercial and office floor area to the total land area shown for commercial or office uses on the site.
(5) Where residential uses are proposed, the maximum number of dwelling units and the gross residential density expressed in terms of the gross residential building areas.
(6) The general location of the following:
a. Open space system, including environmentally sensitive areas and active recreation areas.
b. Internal circulation including both vehicular and pedestrian systems.
c. All land to be dedicated to public use.
d. All land which is intended for common or public use but not proposed to be in public ownership.
(b) In lieu of the requirements of section 59-D-2.12(h), the following information must be included on the concept plan:
(1) A development program establishing the staging and/or sequence in which the various development areas are to be developed.
(2) The first stage of development must include an appropriate minimum percentage of proposed commercial or office floor area, depending on the total amount of land in the concept plan application, as follows:
Total Acreage Under Application | Minimum % of Total Proposed Commercial Floor Area Required in First Stage |
Up to 20 acres | 30% |
More than 20 up to 50 acres | 25% |
More than 50 up to 100 acres | 20% |
over 100 acres | 15%
|
In cases where the subject site is already partially developed with such uses, these percentages refer to the additional development proposed above what is currently existing on the site.
(3) As subsequent development stages shown on the concept plan are proposed for development, a project plan as defined in division 59-D-2 must be submitted and processed in accordance with the procedures for amending an approved project plan, as contained in section 59-D-2.1.
Each stage of development proposed in the development program of the concept plan must involve sufficient development to enable that stage to exist as an independent entity, integrated with prior stages, but not dependent upon later stages of construction.
(4) The development program proposed under this section should be compatible with any staging recommendations or guidelines contained in the applicable master or sector plan.
(5) If the total project is proposed for construction in one stage, then the concept plan cannot be submitted and development must be depicted on a project plan in accordance with all of the standards and requirements of division 59-D-2.
(6) The staging relationship between the commercial or office development and residential development will be evaluated as part of the development program review. More detailed decisions concerning the specific staging of different land use types will be made when reviewing subsequent project plans.
