§ 38-1344. Approval procedure.

Except to the extent a developer has complied with the procedure set forth below, the procedure for obtaining approval of a CVC planned development shall be as follows:

(1)

Concept plan, preapplication conference. The applicant shall submit to the zoning department four (4) copies of a non-binding concept plan which is consistent with section 38-1345. No sooner than ten (10) working days thereafter, a preapplication conference scheduled by the applicant shall be held with the planning manager, zoning manager, public utilities director and county engineer, or their designees. The purposes of this conference shall be to acquaint the staff with the proposed project, to provide the applicant with preliminary comments and questions, to identify any major concerns, and/or to express the need for additional data or information. Within five (5) working days following the conference, the zoning manager shall send a letter to the applicant summarizing the major points of the conference.

(2)

Land use plan.

a.

After payment of an application fee to the zoning department, the applicant shall submit to the engineering department fourteen (14) copies of a land use plan and support data in information, all of which is consistent with section 38-1346. The land use plan shall be scheduled for review by the development review committee ("DRC"). The DRC shall review the plan for compliance with the CVC guidelines and standards in this division and the guidelines and standards for the particular CVC. The DRC shall submit a written recommendation, which may include conditions of approval, to the planning and zoning commission ("P&ZC"). The zoning manager shall schedule the project for a review hearing at the next regular meeting of the P&ZC.

b.

Upon receipt of the DRC's written recommendation, the P&ZC shall hold a public hearing to review the land use plan. Thereafter, it shall submit a written recommendation, which may include conditions of approval, to the board of county commissioners ("BCC"). Public notice advertising that the BCC will hold a public hearing to consider the land use plan shall identify the proposed land uses and any proposed changes in uses or intensities. The public hearing before the BCC shall be held at least ten (10) working days after the P&ZC hearing. The BCC shall approve the land use plan, approve it with conditions, or disapprove it.

After payment of an application fee to the zoning department, the applicant shall submit to the engineering division fourteen (14) copies of a development plan and support data and information, all of which is consistent with section 38-1347. The development plan may cover all or a portion of the approved land use plan. If the applicant proposes to create a subdivision, a preliminary subdivision plan shall be processed concurrently with the development plan. The engineering division shall review the development plan to determine whether all necessary and appropriate data and information has been provided.

b.

The applicant shall then submit fourteen (14) copies of the development plan to the engineering department. The development shall then be scheduled for review by the DRC.
