A. Purpose and Intent. The purpose for the Construction Drawing procedure is to establish a consistent and predictable process for the review of proposed development, through a detailed representation of the proposal. Construction Drawing review is an analysis to ensure that allowable development is configured in accordance with required utilities and constructions standards, not a consideration of whether or not a proposed development is allowed.
B. Applicability.
1. Except for development exempted from Construction Drawing review in accordance with Section 2.2.9.C, Exemptions, all forms of development that involve construction, moving, or significant alteration of a building or habitable structure, that result in the increase in the amount of impervious surface on a lot, or that involve the provision of landscaping, off-street parking, stormwater management devices, or similar site features shall be subject to Construction Drawing review in accordance with this section.
2. Changes in use that trigger requirements for sidewalk provision or changes to roadway configuration shall also require site plan approval.
1. Construction of a single-family detached dwelling on an individual lot;
2. Establishment of an accessory use or structure; and
3. Changes of use that do not result in the need for additional off-street parking spaces, additional screening, differing stormwater practices, or additional landscaping.
D. Construction Drawing Procedure. The Construction Drawing procedure is described in Figure 2.2.7, Construction Drawing Procedure, as supplemented by Section 2.3, Application Processing, and the Procedures Manual.
E. Application. The application shall include details sheets and to scale engineered plans.
F. Decision by Technical Review Committee. The Technical Review Committee shall review and decide the application in accordance with Section 2.2.7.G, Construction Drawing Review Standards.
G. Construction Drawing Review Standards. A Construction Drawing shall be approved on a decision the application complies with:
1. All standards or conditions of any prior applicable permits and development approvals;
2. All applicable requirements of this Ordinance and the Town Code of Ordinances; and
3. All applicable county, state, and federal requirements.
H. Effect.
1. Construction Plans.
a. Construction Drawing plans for all public improvements included with or filed subsequent to the Non-Residential Site Plan or Residential Preliminary Plan shall be approved prior to street and utility construction in accordance with the applicable Town standards.
b. In the case of a multi-phase site plan, any street and utility construction plans shall include all improvements within a phase and all public improvements outside the phase but necessary to serve development within that phase.
2. Performance Guarantees. All public improvements that have not been installed by the developer, inspected, and accepted by the Town shall comply with the requirements in Section 6.6, Performance Guarantees, prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
I. Amendment. Amendment of a Construction Drawing may only be reviewed and considered in accordance with the procedures and standards established for its original approval.
J. Expiration. If the work authorized by a Construction Drawing approval is not commenced within one year from the date of issuance, the approval shall become null and void.
K. Appeal. Appeal of the decision on a site plan shall be reviewed and decided by the BOA in the nature of certiorari and in accordance with Section 2.2.3, Appeal.
