A. Concept Plan Review. Prior to, but in no event more than a year before, submitting an application to the Village for preliminary planned development approval, an applicant must appear at a public meeting of the Village Council to present the basic scope, character and nature of the entire proposed planned development to permit public consideration of the proposal at the earliest possible stage.
B. Application for Concept Plan Review. To initiate a review of the planned development concept plan, an applicant must submit to the Zoning Administrator a description of the following basic information regarding the proposed development:
1. A sketch site plan showing the general layout of proposed land uses within the property and the general location of vehicular and pedestrian circulation systems;
2. A narrative describing the proposed categories of land uses for property and a summary of the overall maximum density of residential uses and intensity of nonresidential uses;
3. A general visual description or images of the architectural style of the proposed development;
4. The general location and extent of compensating benefits as required by Section 17.58.120B;
5. The nature, scope and extent of public dedications, improvements or contributions to be provided by the applicant; and
6. The owner's name and address and the owner's signed consent to the filing of the application.
7. The applicant's name and address, if different than the owner, the applicant's interest in the subject property, and the applicant's qualifications to carry out the proposed development.
8. The address, parcel identification number(s), size, and dimensions of the subject property; and
9. Any other information the applicant desires the Village Council to review.
C. Action by Village Council. The Village Council shall, after the concept plan application is complete, hold its review of the concept plan application.
The purpose of such review shall be to broadly acquaint the Village Council with the applicant's proposal and provide the applicant with any preliminary views or concerns that members of the Village Council may have at a time in the process when positions are still flexible, adjustment is still possible, and prior to the time when the applicant is required to expend the funds necessary to prepare the complete documentation required for a preliminary plan application.
At the meeting at which the concept plan application is considered, any member of the Village Council may make any comments, suggestions or recommendations regarding the concept plan application deemed necessary or appropriate by that member; provided, however, that no final or binding action shall be taken with respect to any concept plan application. Any views expressed in the course of the Village Council's review of any concept plan application shall be deemed to be only preliminary and advisory and only the individual views of the member expressing them. Nothing said or done in the course of such review shall be deemed to create, or to prejudice, any rights of the applicant or to obligate the Village Council, or any member of it, to approve or deny any preliminary plan application following full consideration thereof as required by this Code.
