(a) Review by Commission. The Commission shall review the complete application package, which may include an application for Subdivision approval under Rules and Regulations, as transmitted by the Zoning Inspector in terms of the standards established in this Zoning Code and, when applicable, under the Subdivision Rules and Regulations. If deemed necessary, the Commission, with the consent of the applicant, may refer an application to qualified consultants for review. The cost of such review shall be at the expense of the applicant.
(b) Preliminary and Final Approval. The Commission shall modify or deny the preliminary development plan within 90 days from the date of the Commission meeting at which all required plans and data were received. The preliminary and final development plans shall be subject to the procedures outlined in the Village of Richfield Subdivision Regulations except as noted below.
(1) Where the Commission finds that it is impracticable for the proposal of the applicant to fully conform to the provisions of the Regulations of this Chapter or, where applicable, the Subdivision Rules and Regulations, or that modifications to the Regulations of this Chapter or the Subdivision Rules and Regulations will produce a more harmonious development, the Commission may approve the Preliminary Development Plan and, where applicable, the application for Subdivision approval, with such modifications as the Commission deems reasonable, if the Commission finds that such modifications promote the general intent and purpose of these Regulations and, where applicable, the Regulations of this Chapter or the Subdivision Rules and Regulations.
(2) The Commission may require adjustments in the development plan such as improvements to the design and arrangement of buildings, yards, on-site circulation, access drives, and such other features to further improve the proposed development and to protect the surrounding developments.
(c) Violation and Revocation of Certificate: Penalty. The breach of any condition or requirement shall automatically invalidate the certificate granted and shall constitute a violation of this Zoning Code. Such violation shall be punishable in accordance with Section 1105.29.
(d) Reapplication. No application for a Single-Family Conservation Development which has been denied wholly or in part, shall be resubmitted until the expiration of one year or more from the date of such denial, except on grounds of newly discovered evidence or proof of changed conditions which would be sufficient to justify reconsideration. At the expiration of one year from the date of the original application, each reapplication shall be accompanied by a fee as determined by Council.
