The following procedures shall be followed in applying for rezoning to a PUD District.
(a) Application submission. An applicant shall submit a complete application requesting that the Zoning District Map be amended to rezone the subject property as a PUD Overlay. Such applications shall be processed, noticed, and heard in a manner prescribed in this chapter.
(b) Informal consultation. Applicants are encouraged to engage in informal consultations with the Zoning Officer and Municipal Administrator prior to preparing plans. No statement or representation by staff or Planning Commission, however, shall be binding.
(c) Concept Plan. Concept Plan contents are established in § 1288.05, Required Contents of the Concept Plan.
(d) Preliminary and Final Development Plan. An applicant may submit a Preliminary Development Plan, and subsequently submit a Final Development Plan for any portion of the approved Preliminary Development Plan that the applicant wishes to develop. The applicant may also submit a combined Preliminary and Final Development Plan as identified in § 1288.09, Preliminary and Final Development Plan Procedure.
The Planning Commission or Council may determine that the review of the Planned Unit Development submission requires the assistance of engineers, architects, planners or attorneys to assist in its evaluation of the Preliminary or Final Development Plan. In such event, the Planning Commission or Council may require that the applicant pay the fees of such persons so retained to assist the Planning Commission or Council. By the submission of an application for Preliminary or Final Development Plan approval, the applicant agrees to pay such fees.
(e) Zoning Certificate. No Zoning Certificate shall be issued for any property for which a rezoning is requested and no construction shall begin until the Final Development Plan is approved as per the requirements in this chapter.
