Conceptual plan review. The developer shall first submit a concept plan showing how the property will be developed to meet the standards of the district.

The plan shall identify the type and location of the various uses envisioned, illustrate proposed access arrangements and traffic patterns, sensitive areas to be protected, and the location and method of providing major services such as water, sewer, gas, and stormwater management. The concept plan shall be reviewed by staff for any suggestions and revisions before being presented to the Commission for its review and any suggestions. If a concept plan includes a building which is proposed to exceed three stories or 50 feet in height, the requirements of Article XVII shall apply. The Commission may also require scaled drawings depicting the height of the proposed building in relation to the height of other buildings in the immediate vicinity.

Employment campus master plan. Following conceptual plan review, the developer submits a detailed preliminary plan for review. The plan will show the layout of the property with respect to the topography, orientation with relation to other properties, preservation of natural topographic features (e.g., trees, watercourses, wetlands, steep slopes), access points, internal roads where applicable, location of public utilities, including stormwater management and other public works improvements, grading plan and, where applicable, the proposed lotting arrangement, access points and site layout for each lot.

The submittal shall, where applicable, include any final subdivision plats which may be for individual lots as shown on the employment campus master plan or for large bulk parcels which may be related thereto. Final subdivision plats, where applicable, shall be recorded and improvements may be constructed.

Site development plans shall include all the information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this chapter and the approved employment campus master plan, including the location, height and orientation of proposed buildings and structures, and nature of the use. A site development plan will be accompanied by a final subdivision plat where applicable and if a recorded lot requires amendment or further subdivision to accommodate the proposed use. Upon Commission approval of the site development plan, and final subdivision plat where applicable, a building permit and zoning certificate may be issued in accordance therewith.
