11-22-1: PURPOSE:
The purpose of a development agreement is to provide a vehicle for development or uses in areas where, in the opinion of the Council, the use of a development agreement will assure compliance with the required rezone findings and conclusions. Development agreements can be used when a determination is made that a proposed rezone by itself is not sufficient to ensure compliance and the use of a development agreement would allow a development to proceed under stricter regulations than those imposed generally in the proposed zoning district. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as relieving the property which is subject to development agreement restrictions from further compliance with all other permit and code requirements applicable because of the zoning designation of the property. Restrictions imposed upon property as a result of a development agreement are in addition to all other zoning ordinance requirements. (Ord. 235, 3-3-1997)
