(A) Within 60 days of submittal of a complete "preliminary plan" for a Planned Unit Development, the Planning Commission shall schedule a public hearing on the proposal.
(B) After conducting the public hearing and considering any and all comments that were offered, including written comments, the Planning Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the proposed PUD.
(C) A conditional approval may include any reasonable conditions that are determined by the Planning Commission to be necessary to protect natural features or surrounding development, either existing or planned, or to provide for the public health and safety of those that will eventually be residing within the development or otherwise using it. Conditions may also pertain to the most efficient use of streets, parking, other public utilities and facilities, or to the overall function of the development itself.
(D) Approval of either the "preliminary plan" or the "final plan" shall include adoption of findings of fact that relate specifically to the approval criteria of § 154.177.
(E) Approval of the final development plan shall be given by the Planning Commission following completion of the following:
(1) Applicant's submittal of the final development plan, as described in § 154.175.
(2) Applicant's completion of any modification to the plan map.
(3) Applicant's completion of any conditions of approval that was specifically required to be completed prior to final approval.
(4) Dedication of lands for parks, streets, or other public uses, as required by the Planning Commission or as proposed by applicant.
(5) Applicant's completion of all improvement work, including construction or improvement of public streets or highways and related improvements, or the providing of a bond or other assurance that such work will be completed as planned and approved.
(6) A partial approval of the final development plan may be given when the plan's development is intended to be phased over a period of several years, or when further adjustments or refinements are likely in future phases.
(F) In the event that construction has not commenced within one year from the date of final approval, or construction has been discontinued for a period of one year or longer, no development or further development shall take place without Planning Commission approval, following reconsideration of the project. The Commission may grant extensions of time, as it deems appropriate, and no additional public hearings shall be required prior to granting such extensions of time.
