The purpose and intent of the Site Development Plan (SDP) is to depict the general layout of a residential subdivision or the site layout, site improvements and building configuration of a multifamily residential, commercial, industrial, or mixed-use development. The SDP ensures that the proposed development is consistent and compatible with:

A.

All applicable Town-adopted plans and the general health, safety, and welfare;

B.

Any pre-existing land use approvals for the subject property; and

C.

Surrounding neighborhoods and with the residential-nonresidential interface regulations.

The SDP may constitute a site-specific development plan for purposes of establishing vested property rights (see Chapter 17.08).

(Ord. No. 2019-028, § 3, 9-17-2019)

A.

An approved SDP is required prior to construction of a structure or addition, or installation or modification of site improvements, except as authorized under Subsection 15.54.020.F of the Code in any zoning district unless:

1.

The property use is single-family or duplex, has R-1, R-2, R-3 or residential PD zoning and has an existing Plat; or

2.

The property is Town-owned.

B.

As set forth in Section 15.50.010, CRMC, the Developer is required to construct Public and Private Improvements necessary to serve the development. An improvement agreement guaranteeing the installation of such improvements shall be executed by the Developer at the time of platting or construction document approval pursuant to Section 15.50.030 of the Code.

(Ord. No. 2019-028, § 3, 9-17-2019)

All Site Development Plans must be submitted in accordance with the Development Procedures Manual and be reviewed and approved by the appropriate decision-making body as outlined in the following table.
