The following plans shall be required as a part of the processing of any development application for any property within the Public Safety Station #19 specific plan.
A. Area Development Plan: An area development plan must be approved by the city council prior to, or in conjunction with, the review of the specific plan for any property within said specific plan. No change to the area development plan shall be made without approval from the appropriate reviewing bodies. An area development plan is a plan that identifies infrastructure, planning units, major street patterns, drainage and detention, utilities, shared public spaces, vehicular traffic impacts, proposed densities, and land use assumptions. It is intended to promote the communication and cooperation between adjacent property owners and developers to encourage cohesive, unified development, and to identify the anticipated phasing of construction, and parties involved.
On file in the city as exhibit A is the city council approved area development plan for this property which is labeled as the southwestern most corner of area 5 on the map identifying the area development plans within the town center overlay district guidelines as adopted by the West Des Moines city council.
B. Specific Plan: A specific plan identifies detailed development criteria for each planning unit identified in the area development plan. The specific plan will conform to the general intent of the area development plan and the town center overlay district guidelines and shall be adopted by the city council by ordinance. The ordinance shall constitute the specific plan for the Public Safety Station #19 specific plan. On file in the city and made a part of this rezoning as exhibit B is a specific plan map for the Public Safety Station #19. It is recognized that slight modifications and changes to the map may be necessary due to changes in building footprints or details; however, the intent is that the major elements of the specific plan shall be adhered to and may not be altered without the approval of the city council. Where the specific plan map and specific plan language conflict, the specific plan language shall prevail.
C. Development Applications: Site plans for parcels within the Public Safety Station #19 specific plan must meet the intent of the approved specific plan and shall be submitted to the city of West Des Moines for review and approval prior to the development of any portion of the property within the specific plan. Site plans, which meet the intent of the specific plan as determined by the city staff, will be subject to administrative review and approval by the director of community development. If the site is deemed not to be in compliance with the specific plan, or if two (2) or more city council or plan and zoning commission members request, the site plan will be subject to review by the appropriate reviewing body.
