(A)

The planning and zoning commission or the city commission may approve the conceptual plan or detailed site plan or any section of the plan, separately or jointly, in public hearings. One (1) public hearing at the planning and zoning commission and one (1) at the city commission for the PD request is adequate when:

(1)

The applicant submits adequate data with the request for the Planning Development district to fulfill the requirement for a detailed site plan; or

(2)

Information on the conceptual plan and attached application is sufficient to determine the appropriate use of the land and the development plan will not deviate from it.

(B)

The conceptual plan must be approved by the planning and zoning commission and city commission prior to approval of the detailed site plan.

(C)

Conceptual and/or detailed site plan approval.

(1)

The detailed site plan may be approved in sections. When a detailed site plan is approved in sections, then separate approvals by the planning and zoning commission and city commission for the initial and subsequent sections will be required.

(2)

A detailed site plan shall be submitted for approval within one (1) year from the approval of the conceptual plan for some portion of the concept plan. If a partial site plan is not submitted within one (1) year, the concept plan is subject to review by the planning and zoning commission and city commission. If some portion of the entire project is not started within two (2) years, the planning and zoning commission and city commission may review the original concept plan to ensure its continued validity. If the city determines the concept is not valid, a new concept plan must be approved prior issuing a building permit for any portion of the PD district.

(3)

Although a public hearing may not be required for the detailed site plan, approval by the planning and zoning commission and city commission is still required.

(D)

When a PD district is being considered, a written report from the city manager discussing the impact on planning, engineering, water utilities, electric, sanitation, building inspection, tax, police, fire, and traffic, and written comments from the applicable public agendas (such as the school district and utility companies) may be submitted to the planning and zoning commission prior to the commission making any recommendations to the city commission.
