(b)

In addition to the application requirements for zoning ordinance or zoning map amendments as prescribed by Article 10, Section 10.10: Text and map amendments, a conceptual development plan shall contain the information required by Appendix A, Subsection 2.12: Submission requirements for PDH districts below together with such supplementary data for a particular development that may be deemed necessary by the zoning administrator.

(c)

Upon determination by the zoning administrator that the content of the conceptual development plan is complete in accordance with Appendix A, Subsection 2.12: Submission requirements for PDH districts below, the plan and application shall be submitted for comment to the reviewing agencies. Upon completion of review, the plan and application shall be submitted to the planning commission after the required public notice is provided.

(d)

The planning commission, after having given the required public notice, shall hold a public hearing and give prompt consideration to the application in accordance with the applicable zoning district regulations.

(e)

Subsequent to the public hearing, the planning commission shall transmit the conceptual development plan and application to the town council together with its recommendation for approval or disapproval. The planning commission recommendation shall contain specific recommendations concerning the phasing of public improvements, including schools, public water and sewer, open space provision and improvements, and transportation improvements.

(f)

The town council shall consider the conceptual development plan and application for rezoning in accordance with the applicable zoning district regulations and shall hold a public hearing thereon. The town council shall approve, approve with modifications or disapprove the conceptual development plan.

(g)

In approving the conceptual development plan, the town council may establish such conditions and may require such modifications as shall assure compliance with the standards and regulations of the subject district; and further, the council may waive or modify subdivision and/or site plan requirements otherwise applicable to the development when such waiver or modification would be in conformance with said standards and regulations.

(h)

In approving a conceptual development plan, the council may authorize a variance in the strict application of specific zoning district regulations whenever:

i.

Such strict application would inhibit or frustrate the purpose and intent for establishing such a zoning district; and

ii.

Such variation would promote and comply with the standards set forth in Appendix A, Section 2: PDH planned development housing district. In no case, however, shall the maximum density provisions or the land area designated for commercial use under the PDH district and the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) be varied or modified.

(i)

In the event the town council shall disapprove the rezoning application, the conceptual development plan shall thereby be deemed to be denied.

(j)

In the event that the town council shall approve the rezoning application, the council shall approve the rezoning application, the council shall also approve or approve with modifications or conditions the conceptual development plan.

(k)

Once a conceptual development plan has been approved, and there is cause for amendment of same or any portion thereof, such amendment shall be processed as a new submission; provided however, that the zoning administrator may waive any submission requirement if such requirement is not necessary for an adequate review of the concept development plan amendment application. An amendment may be filed by an owner of individual property.

2.9. - Final development plan approval.

The following procedures shall be applicable to the preparation of a final development plan:

(1)

The approval of a rezoning application to a PDH district and the approval of its accompanying conceptual development plan by the town council shall constitute authority for the applicant to prepare a final development plan; however, a final development plan may be filed with and included in the processing of the rezoning application and conceptual development plan. All final development plans shall be prepared in accordance with the approved conceptual development plan, and conditions as may have been adopted by the council and Subsection 2.12: Submission requirements for PDH districts below.

(2)

A final development plan may be prepared and submitted for the entire planned development at one time or for sections of the planned development, and 14 copies of each plan shall be submitted to the zoning administrator.

(4)

The planning commission shall hold a public hearing on the final development plan no later than six months from the date the zoning administrator determined that such plan was complete in accordance with the requirements of Subsection 2.12: Submission requirements for PDH districts below. The commission shall consider the final development plan in accordance with the approved conceptual plan, and shall determine if said plan does comply with the applicable zoning district regulations. Upon the determination that the final development plan is in accordance and does comply, the planning commission shall approve, or approve with modifications, the final development plan. Such approval shall be deemed to be the final approval, subject only to appeal to the town council as provided by Paragraph (8) below.

(5)

In approving a final development plan, the planning commission may establish such conditions and may require such modifications as will assure compliance with the standards and regulations of the subject district, and with the approved conceptual development plan. Further, the planning commission may recommend to the council the waiver of any zoning and subdivision otherwise applicable to the development where it is found that such a waiver would be in conformance with said standards and regulations.

(6)

In the event that the planning commission finds that the final development plan is not in accordance with the approved conceptual development plan, or does not comply with the applicable zoning district regulations, it shall disapprove the final development plan and state the reasons for their action.

(7)

The disapproval of a final development shall cause the applicant to prepare a revised development plan unless the provisions of Paragraph (h) below are applied.

(8)

In the event that an aggrieved party wishes to appeal a planning commission decision for approval, approval with modifications or disapproval of a final development plan, such appeal shall be filed with the town council within ten days after the decision by the commission. The appeal shall be written by petition to the council setting forth the reasons for the appeal. The basis for an appeal shall be that the final development plan is or is not in substantial conformity with the approved conceptual development plan.

Once a final development plan has been approved, and there is cause for amendment of the same, such amendment shall be processed as follows:

i.

Upon a determination by the zoning administrator that the amendment will result in a final development plan which is still in accordance with the approved conceptual development plan, then such amendment shall be processed according with the provisions of this section.

ii.

Upon a determination by the zoning administrator that the amendment will cause the final development plan to not be in conformance with the approved conceptual development plan, then an amendment to the conceptual development plan shall be required in accordance with the provisions in Subsection 2.9(1): Conceptual development plan approval above. The amendment to the final development plan shall also be the subject of review by the planning commission in accordance with the provisions of this section.

iii.

The zoning administrator may waive any submission requirement if such requirement is not necessary for an adequate review of the final development plan amendment application.

iv.

An amendment may be filed by an owner or individual property.
