(a) After the Zoning Inspector has found the Site Plan to be complete with respect to the requirements herein, the Planning Commission shall consider such a plan at a public meeting, and act to approve the site plan as submitted, or approve the site plan with modifications. The Planning Commission must act to either approve the Site Plan as submitted, or it must approve it with specific modifications and changes. When modifications or changes are required as a condition of approval, a revised site plan with such modifications shall be submitted and filed. The Planning Commission and the applicant may mutually agree to table a Site Plan approval decision if there are outstanding issues and unresolved concerns.
(b) In conducting its review, the Planning Commission shall consider the Standards for Review contained in this chapter. The Planning Commission, may if circumstances warrant, limit the number of driveways into or out of a development to maintain better traffic flow on the public street, reposition driveways, require additional buffering, or yard requirements to maintain a better separation of pedestrian and traffic movement, and may require greater building setbacks to achieve more desirable and safer pedestrian and traffic movement. The Planning Commission may also consider other modifications to the submitted site plan that brings the proposed development into better alignment with the Site Plan Review Criterial and Standards (Section 1165.12).
(c) In cases where Site Plan approval involves site improvements that cannot be fully completed before the building is ready for use, the Planning Commission may, as circumstances warrant, require a bond or letter of credit to guarantee completion of specific improvements. Such improvements may include landscape elements, vehicular or pedestrian features, or other site-related infrastructure. Alternatively, the occupancy permit(s) for a new building and/or land use may be withheld until all improvements shown on a site plan are made.
