The following plans shall be required as a part of the processing of any development application for any property within the Westowne Shopping Center PUD:
A. Planned Unit Development: This document shall constitute the planned unit development ordinance for Westowne Shopping Center. On file in the city and made a part of this ordinance is a sketch plan that illustrates the overall site layout concept (Exhibit I). This document and the referenced documents or exhibits (on file in the city) are intended to specify the components, parameters, and requirements to be adhered to and implemented in order to ensure the realization of the Westowne Shopping Center PUD. It is recognized that modifications and changes may be necessary due to changes in building footprints, site details, and response to market demand. At the discretion of the Director of Development Services, changes to the layout of the development that are deemed to be “major” changes shall require an amendment to the sketch plan and ordinance, if applicable. Major amendments shall require the review and approval of the Plan and Zoning Commission and City Council.
Where the sketch plan and PUD language conflict, the PUD language shall prevail. Where the PUD language conflicts with provisions of the West Des Moines City Code the PUD language shall prevail.
B. Development Applications: Site plans (new, Major Modifications, and Minor Modifications) for development within the Westowne Shopping Center PUD must meet the intent of the approved PUD. Site plans (new, Major Modifications and Minor Modifications) shall be submitted to the City of West Des Moines for review and approval prior to the development or modifications to any portion of the lot. New site plans and Major Modifications for permitted uses which comply (as determined by the Director of Development Services or designee) with the design intent as set forth in this PUD will be subject to review via the City’s review process and receive final approval from the City Council following a recommendation from the Plan and Zoning Commission. Minor Modifications to previously approved site plans may be approved administratively in accordance with Title 9 of the City Code. Approval by the Board of Adjustment for any use designated as a Permitted Conditional (Pc) use shall occur prior to approval of a subsequent site plan by the City Council. At the discretion of the Director of Development Services, an amendment to the Westowne Shopping Center PUD may be required to bring consistency between the ordinance and site plan development proposed.
C. Preliminary and Final Platting: Platting, if needed for subdivision or right-of-way dedication, shall be done in accordance with the City’s Subdivision Ordinance. Lots to be platted without public street frontage in accordance with the City Code requirements, may be allowed provided the frontage requirements of the Code have been met by an abutting or surrounding lot which is under common ownership under an owners’ association, or a cross parking and access easement has been executed which provides for the unrestricted use and access of the drives and parking. Platted outlots are not buildable until such time that they are replatted through the City’s Subdivision process. (Ord. 2485, 8-2-2021)
