(A) Application conference. Upon filing of an application for a PUD, the developer shall arrange for and attend a conference with the Development Review Committee. The primary purpose of the conference shall be to provide the developer with an opportunity to gather information and obtain guidance as to the general suitability of developer’s proposal for the area for which it is proposed and its conformity to the provisions of this subchapter before incurring substantial expense in the preparation of plans, surveys, and other data.
(B) Sketch plan. The sketch plan provides an opportunity for an applicant to submit an informal plan to the city showing the applicant’s basic intent and general nature of the development. The sketch plan is optional and is intended to provide feedback from the Planning Commission before the applicant incurs substantial cost in the preparation of formal plans. The sketch plan shall be considered a partial, incomplete application prior to formal submittal of the complete application and scheduling of hearings.
(C) Preliminary development plan. The purpose of a preliminary development plan is to formally present a PUD application, and a preliminary plat application if subdivision of land is a part of the PUD, in a public hearing before the Planning Commission as set forth in §§ 30.45 through 30.48. The plan shall include the following:
(1) Overall maximum PUD density range;
(2) General location of major streets and pedestrian ways;
(3) General location and extent of public and common and open space;
(4) General location of residential and nonresidential land uses with approximate type of intensities of development;
(5) Staging and time schedule of development; and
(6) Other special criteria for development.
(D) Final development plan. Following approval of the preliminary development plan, the applicant shall submit an application for the final development plan, and a final plat if subdivision of land is a part of the PUD. The application shall proceed and be acted upon in accordance with § 154.206 for zoning district changes. If appropriate, because of the limited scale of the proposal, the Development Review Committee may permit the preliminary development plan and final development plan to proceed through the review and approval processes simultaneously.
(E) Procedures. The procedures to be followed by the applicant with respect to a PUD, shall be as follows.
(1) Schedule.
(a) Developer shall meet with the Development Review Committee to discuss the proposed developments.

The City Council may attach the additional conditions as it deems reasonable. Approval shall require a four-fifths vote of the entire City Council. After approval by the City Council, the PUD zoning ordinance map amendment shall be published, with reference made to the PUD agreement text.
