(a) The purpose of the final plan is to obtain formal approval by Council for completed plans and to enter into necessary performance bonds or contracts prior to recording and commencement of work. The final plan shall conform substantially to the preliminary plan as approved; but, if desired by the developer, it may constitute only that portion of the approved preliminary plan of lots which he or she proposes to record and develop at the time.
(b) The following are procedures to be used in the review of final plans.
(1) Developer submits two copies, original drawing and a sepia duplicate of the final plan and one copy of other exhibits, including performance agreements, and the written application to the Administrative Officer. Such submission shall be made within six months after approval of the preliminary plan and at least 15 days prior to the meeting of the City Planning Commission.
(2) The Administrative Officer checks the submission for completeness. If incomplete, returns the submission to the developer indicating deficiencies; or, if complete, accepts the submission and immediately prepares and distributes one copy to the Director of the Department of Community and Economic Development, plus additional copies as may be required.
(3) Upon receipt of a copy of the final plan from the Administrative Officer, the Director of the Department of Community and Economic Development shall review the engineering considerations and guarantees of the submission and prepare a report of adequacy for the Commission and Council.
(4) The Commission shall, at that regular meeting scheduled for final plan review, approve the final plan providing that all conditions made at the time of preliminary plan approval are adequately provided for. If not so provided, the plan shall be disapproved, indicating to the developer the reasons for such disapproval.
(5) Within 40 days of the Commission’s meeting at which action was taken upon a final plan, Council shall approve such plan, stating any additional conditions of such approval or, if disapproved, state the reasons therefor and within five days following the decision inform the developer of such decision in writing.
(6) Every final plan shall carry the signature of:
(A) Owner of the land;
(B) Signature and seal of the registered engineer or surveyor;
(C) Director of the Department of Community and Economic Development;
(D) Chairperson of the City Planning Commission; and
(E) City Clerk.
