(1)

Comprehensive plan amendment;

(2)

Rezoning: map or district text change;

(3)

Subdivision, plat approval or plat amendment;

(7)

Building permit; sign or other minor development permit.

Items (1), (6) and (7) plus minor development applications may not be subject to concurrency; see article XIII. The most significant review procedure for purposes of this chapter is site plan review of major development applications. Procedures for (3) above, subdivisions, are found in article XIV. The planned unit development procedure (article IV) is a specialized major development plan review process.

The appropriate development permit applications shall be submitted on forms provided in the community development department with accompanying fees as may from time to time be specified by the city commission in the land development fee schedule. The application will be reviewed by staff to determine compliance with land use designation, zoning district, and other supplemental and special regulations, including concurrency.

Minor and major developments.

(1)

Conditions precedent: If a development permit application is in conformance with the comprehensive plan, zoning district regulations and subdivision requirements, the following shall apply:

(b)

Major development: All other development permit applications shall require a site development plan (master development plan in PUD cases and a floor plan in use approval cases) to be submitted to the zoning division. In the case of conditional uses and PUD/PCC applications a recommendation by the city planning and zoning board is required. This includes any conditional uses as specified in article III. After the initial staff review is completed, preliminary comments will be distributed to the applicant and the development review committee for discussion at a scheduled meeting of the committee. The committee will provide final comments to the appropriate board, if required.
