D. Reduce previously approved requirements for open space, amenities or landscaping;

(Ord. 99-38, 10-19-1999; amd. Ord. 2001-32, 6-5-2001; Ord. 2007-67, 9-18-2007)
A. Project Development Plan: All development proposals must be processed and approved through submittal of a "project development plan". If the applicant desires to develop in phases, i.e., with two (2) or more separate project development plan submittals, an "overall development plan" will also be required prior to, or concurrently with, the project development plan for any one phase. The requirement for project development plan review may be waived by the director for expansions or alterations that do not constitute a substantial change. The reason(s) for the waiver will be put in writing by the director, and a copy filed with the city's permanent records for the site.
B. Overall Development Plan: An overall development plan shall be required for any property that is intended to be developed over time in two (2) or more separate project development plan submittals. The purpose of the overall development plan is to establish general planning and development control parameters for projects that will be developed in phases with multiple submittals while allowing sufficient flexibility to permit detailed planning in subsequent submittals. Approval of an overall development plan does not establish any vested right to develop property in accordance with the plan.
