(a) GENERAL. There may be applications where the particular circumstances of a proposed development required compliance with other procedures in this chapter, such as special use permit review and approval or rezoning. In such cases, the Planning Commission may integrate site plan review as required by this article with the other procedural and/or submission requirements. Such integration of procedures may require, upon mutual written consent of the Planning Commission and the applicant, reasonable modification of the time schedules otherwise stated in this article or in said related regulations or requirements.
(b) REZONING. If an applicant is requesting a rezoning of the subject site, in addition to site plan approval, the Planning Commission shall require that the applicant obtain the necessary rezoning from City Council before the Planning Commission will proceed with preliminary site plan approval. The applicant is encouraged to submit a sketch plan (as per the above process) before making the rezoning application to Council.
