§ 154.311 APPLICABILITY.

   Development review or site design review shall be required for all new developments and modifications of existing developments, except that regular maintenance, repair and replacement of materials (e.g., roof, siding, awnings and the like) parking resurfacing and similar maintenance and repair shall be exempt. The criteria for each type of review are as follows.

   (A)   Site design review. Site design review is a discretionary review (Type III) conducted by the Planning Commission with a public hearing. (See § 154.379.) It applies to all developments in the city, except those specifically listed under this section. Site design review ensures compliance with the basic development standards of the land use district (e.g., building setbacks, lot coverage, maximum building height), as well as the more detailed design standards and public improvement requirements.

   (B)   Development review.

      (1)   Development review is a non-discretionary or "ministerial" review (Type I) conducted by the city without a public hearing. (See § 154.377 for review procedure.)

      (2)   It is for less complex developments and land uses that do not require site design review approval. Development review is based on clear and objective standards and ensures compliance with the basic development standards of the land use district, such as building setbacks, lot coverage, maximum building height and similar provisions.

      (3)   Development review is required for all the types of development listed below:

         (a)   Single-family detached dwelling (including manufactured homes), when required by a condition of land division approval;

         (b)   A single duplex, up to two single-family attached (townhouse) units or a single triplex which is not being reviewed as part of any other development and accessory parking on the same lot;

         (c)   Building additions and minor modifications to development approvals;

         (d)   Any proposed development which has a valid conditional use permit;

         (e)   Major modifications to a development with a conditional use permit shall require review and approval in accordance with §§ 154.395 through 154.404;

         (f)   Home occupation, subject to review under §§ 154.290 through 154.295;

         (g)   Accessory residential structures including accessory dwellings; and

         (h)   Other developments, when required by a condition of approval.
