The approval by Council and the Planning Commission of both a preliminary development plan and final plan/rezoning is required before the issuance of any zoning permit in a proposed PUD development. Not withstanding these requirements, however, at any time before the formal submission and review of a Preliminary or Final Plan, an applicant may informally submit information and sketch plans to the Planning Commission for review and comment.
(a) Preliminary Plan Review Process.
(1) An applicant for a preliminary plan approval shall file ten (10) copies of a plan and proposed development standards text with the Zoning Inspector along with other required documents and an application fee.
(2) After the application is found to be complete by the Zoning Inspector, the application shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission following thirty (30) calendar days public notice in a newspaper of general circulation.
(3) Within five (5) calendar days following the determination that the application is complete, notices of the meeting to be held by the Planning Commission on the proposed development shall be sent, by first class mail, to all property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the proposed development. Such names and addresses of all property owners shall be provided by the applicant.
(4) Copies of the proposed Preliminary Plan and Development Standards Text shall also be circulated to applicable municipal officials for review and comment.
(5) The Planning Commission may approve, disapprove, or modify a Preliminary Plan submission and such action shall be valid for five (5) years. Approval of the Preliminary Plan and Development Standards Text is required before a Final Development Plan and Final Development Standards Text may be submitted pursuant to the description below.
(b) Final Development Plan Review Process. All PUD Final Development Plan submissions are deemed to be an application for amendment to the Zoning Ordinance according to Chapter 1114 (Amendment Procedures). All procedures described therein shall be followed in considering an application for a rezoning of the land in question to PUD. Thereafter, with the concurrent approval of the rezoning and Final Development Plan pursuant to the criteria stated in Section 1113.05 (Basis for Plan Approval), all development restrictions and conditions described in the Final Development Plan and Final Development Standards Text shall become official requirements of the PUD. W here a proposed PUD also constitutes a subdivision pursuant to Title V (Planning and Platting), all subdivision review procedures may be conducted concurrently with PUD approval.
