Council shall have 45 days to hold a public hearing and consider the recommendation of Planning Commission. The time frame for review shall begin when it has been determined by the Zoning Officer that a complete application has been submitted with the correct fee as established by Council.
Action by the Planning Commission and the Council shall be as follows:
(a) If from the facts presented, the Council is unable to make the necessary findings specified in § 1288.06, Conditions of Approval of the Concept Plan, the application shall be denied or returned to the applicant for clarification. In taking action, the Planning Commission and Council may deny the Concept Plan or may recommend approval of said plan subject to specified amendments.
If the application is approved by Council, the approval of the Concept Plan shall be limited to the general acceptability of the land uses proposed, density levels and their interrelationship, and shall not be construed to endorse precise location of uses, configuration of parcels, or engineering feasibility which are to be determined in subsequent preparation of preliminary and final development plans.
Approval of the Concept Plan shall constitute the approval of the creation of a separate PUD Planned Unit Development Zoning District. The new zoning designation shall incorporate the existing zoning classification (e.g. R-2-PUD).
(b) At the time of adopting any ordinance establishing a PUD District, the Council shall make appropriate arrangements with the applicant, which will ensure the accomplishment of the public improvements and reservation of common open space of the public improvements shown on the approved Concept Plan. The developer shall post a bond in the amount determined by the Municipality to ensure completion of the necessary improvements should the developer fail to complete such improvements as agreed upon.
