(A) The city procedure for processing rezoning petitions for multiple-family (over eight) dwellings, mixed use, recreational resort, commercial, and industrial developments requires a petitioner to submit, as part of the rezoning petition, a concept development plan and to specify the general land uses and the general site and building arrangements which will occupy the property and the general time frame and phasing of development if rezoning is granted.
(B) Planning committees and neighboring property owners will be notified not only of the rezoning petition, but also of the general details of what is proposed and how and when it will be located on the property. The notice of public hearing before the City Council shall also contain the same development information.
(C) The Planning Commission and the City Council will consider whether the petition should be approved or disapproved based upon the merits and compatibility of the proposed project with the master plan and surrounding land uses, and its impact on the surrounding area.
(D) The Planning Commission and City Council will consider also whether the proposed development, and in turn the petitioned for rezoning, is needed to provide a service or convenience brought about by changing conditions, and which therefor promotes the public welfare. They may require changes in the concept plan in order to achieve compatibility and may impose any conditions to lessen, or eliminate, adverse impacts.
