The following plans shall be required as a part of the processing of any development application for any property within the Val Air Ballroom PUD:
A. Planned Unit Development: A planned unit development (PUD) identifies detailed development criteria for specific areas within the Grand Avenue Redevelopment Plan area. The planned unit development shall conform to the general development intent identified in the approved redevelopment plan. The planned unit development shall be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and adopted by the City Council by ordinance.
This document shall constitute the Planned Unit Development Ordinance for the Val Air Ballroom. On file in the city is a sketch plan that illustrates the overall site layout concept (Exhibit A). This document and any referenced documents or exhibits (on file with the city clerk) are intended to specify the components, parameters, and requirements to be adhered to and implemented in order to ensure the realization of the Grand Avenue Redevelopment Plan. 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 of the Planning and Zoning Commission and approval by the City Council.
Where the sketch plan and PUD language conflict, the PUD language shall prevail.
B. Development Applications (Site Plans or Modifications to a Site Plan): Site plans for development within the Val Air Ballroom PUD must meet the intent of the approved PUD. A Site Plan or Modifications to a Site Plan for the development of the site shall be submitted to the City of West Des Moines for review and approval prior to the development or modifications of any portion of the lot. Site plans or Major Modifications to a Site Plan 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 development review process and shall receive final approval from the City Council following a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Minor Modifications to an approved Site Plan will be subject to review via the City's development review process and shall be approved administratively if the site complies with all regulations provided in city code, or which do not further an existing deficiency to city code. A Minor Modification which does increase an existing deficiency shall be considered by the appropriate approval body. Uses identified as Permitted Conditional (PC) shall require approval from the Board of Adjustment of the use prior to review and approval of any Site Plan or Modification to a Site Plan. At the discretion of the Director of Development Services, an amendment to the Val Air Ballroom PUD may be required to bring consistency between the ordinance and site plan development proposed.
