The neighborhood plan shall not be deemed a mandatory design standard for the subdivision of a particular tract of land. The neighborhood plan shall serve as a performance guide and shall be utilized as follows:
A. The proposed plat shall be reviewed and compared to the neighborhood plan in order to ensure provision of:
1. Necessary utility extensions in appropriate locations;
2. Street extensions to existing or proposed streets; and
3. Open spaces and drainage ways in compliance with adopted regulations and policies.
B. Where a proposed subdivision does not correspond with the neighborhood plan, the Planning Commission may require the developer or the City staff to indicate amendments to the neighborhood plan which will meet the design principles of the neighborhood unit and accommodate the proposed subdivision.
C. Where the Planning Commission determines that the proposed subdivision design is not compatible with the neighborhood plan and that amendments to the plan are inappropriate, the Planning Commission may direct such revisions in the subdivision design as are necessary to achieve the goals established by the neighborhood plan.
