A. Purpose: The purpose of the site plan regulations is to promote the safe, functional and aesthetic development of property and to ensure that all new multiple residential, commercial and industrial structures and the associated utilities, streets, parking, circulation systems, lighting, signage, drainage and landscaping are developed in conformance with the standards of this title, and in compliance with the Parker general plan. The site plan review shall consider the proposed development and the relationship of the project to adjacent developments and the community. No building permit shall be issued until approved by the commission and then such issuance shall only be in accordance with the plans and stipulations as approved by the commission.
B. Application:
1. Site plan review shall be required for all development and construction within the following zoning districts within the town of Parker, except for interior tenant improvements:

2. Site plan review shall also be required for any public or quasi-public facility, community facility, or places of public assembly regardless of the zoning district in which they are proposed to be located.
3. If the proposed development requires a zoning change (rezoning) or a conditional use permit, the site plan shall be submitted with the rezoning or use permit application and considered concurrently. For proposed developments, which do not require rezoning or a use permit, the site plan must be approved prior to submittal for a building or grading permit.
4. Before the town accepts any applications, the applicant shall schedule and attend a preapplication meeting. The purpose of the preapplication meeting is to discuss, in general, the procedures and requirements for the site plan review pursuant to these regulations. All applications shall be filed on a form provided by the zoning administrator and shall be accompanied by the required fee and all required materials as outlined in this title and/or on the application. Depending upon the specific circumstances of the development, additional materials may be required by the town in order to adequately review the application.

2. All site plan review applications, for which rezoning is also required, shall be submitted along with the rezoning application and processed in accordance with subsection 10-3-3F of this chapter.
E. Scope Of Action:
1. Approval shall become effective immediately. If the site plan review is in conjunction with a request for rezoning, the approval of the petition to rezone the land may not be enacted as an emergency measure, and the rezoning along with the site plan shall not become effective for at least thirty (30) days after town council approval.
2. A site plan approval pursuant to these provisions shall run with the land and shall continue to be valid upon a change of ownership of the site or structure that was the subject of the application.
3. Any amendments or modifications to an approved site plan shall be processed in the same manner as the original application, except that minor amendments, such as, but not limited to, color changes, material changes, changes in building height or reduction in square footage, etc., may be authorized by the zoning administrator.
4. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued if development activities do not conform to the approved site plan. (Ord. 03-2005, 9-6-2005)
