(A) Application conference. Prior to applying for a PRUD, the applicant shall arrange for and attend a meeting with planning and engineering staff and the Parks and Recreation and Fire Departments. The primary purpose of the conference shall be to provide the applicant with an opportunity to gather information and obtain guidance as to the general suitability of his or her 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) Concept plan. The plan should include the following: overall density ranges, general location of all proposed structures, their types, general location of streets, paths and open space, exterior design, any additional special features, and approximate phasing of the development. Planning Commission and City Council shall consider, but are not limited to, the following criteria for a PRUD:
(1) Degree of consistency of the proposed PRUD with the surrounding area in terms of character and density.
(2) The nature, intent, and compatibility of the required common open space, including the proposed method of maintenance and conservation.
(3) The feasibility of the specified stages contained in the preliminary development plan to exist as an independent development.
(4) The benefits of the development to the general public and/or any reasoning for the added density.
(C) Preliminary approval and master development agreement (MDA). After receiving approval of the concept plan, the rest of the checklist for preliminary approval shall be completed and an MDA shall be drafted and reviewed by planning staff and the City Attorney. After that review, the MDA will be noticed up for public hearing and it will be reviewed by Planning Commission in which they will give a motion to City Council. City Council is the legislative body that may approve the MDA.
(D) Final plan. Following approval of the concept plan and MDA, the applicant shall receive a checklist with all necessary items needed to get final approval. Items include obtaining a geotech report, preparing the final civil drawings, receiving final engineering review, fire review, and getting all necessary will-serve letters. Engineering staff may require a traffic report and, if applicable, UDOT approval shall be required. The application shall proceed and be acted upon in accordance with the procedures in the subdivision ordinance.
