The planning commission shall review the site plan and elevations for the proposed development to determine its conformity with the standards set forth in the city's general plan, the regulations of sections 18.144.020 through 18.144.060 of this chapter, and recognized principles of urban design, land use planning, circulation, and landscape architecture. The commission may approve the proposed plan, impose essential conditions regarding the layout, circulation and methods of operation and maintenance of the proposed development and, in addition, the commission may require that appropriate and enforceable deed restrictions acceptable by the city be filed with the county recorder. The commission may disapprove the plan if, in their opinion, the application does not comply with any of these criteria. (Ord. 1000 § 52.51(C), 1955)
