1126.03 APPLICABILITY.

   A.   Authority. The Planning and Development Director or City Council, as applicable, shall review a development plan for any permitted use involving development and any conditional use, other than a one-family or two-family residential dwelling or residential accessory building, and as provided in this section. Development plan reviews are classified by two (2) types based on the extent of the proposed development: Administrative or City Council Review.

   B.   Administrative Review. The Planning and Development Director shall review development plans in connection with the creation of a use or the erection of a building or structure in any of the following circumstances:

      1.   Principal and accessory buildings less than 3,000 square feet that will accommodate a use permitted by right;   

      2.   Additions to existing buildings less than 3,000 square feet;

      3.   Alterations to existing buildings;

      4.   Changes in the use of any existing building in any zoning district, provided the use is a permitted use in that zoning district;

      5.   Expansion of existing off-street parking areas, provided no change is proposed to the number or location of existing driveways and such parking expansion does not encroach into any required buffer yard; or

      6.   When, in the opinion of the Planning and Development Director, a project which otherwise qualifies for administrative development plan review may have an impact on surrounding properties, he/she may, in their sole discretion, submit the development plan to City Council for review.

   C.   City Council Review. City Council shall, after receiving a recommendation from the Planning and Design Commission, act upon all development plans, other than those provided for in Subsection B, in connection with the creation of a use or the erection of a building or structure in any of the following circumstances:

      1.   Buildings 3,000 square feet or more in size, except as permitted in Section 1126.04;

      2.   Any conditional use in any district;

      3.   Any proposal involving a rezoning request;

      4.   Wireless telecommunication facilities as provided in Chapter 1151.

      5.   Any expansion or alteration of an existing parking area not subject to an administrative development review; or

      6.   As otherwise required by this ordinance.
