(a)

This article shall apply to all uses of real property in all zone districts with the exception of single household residences and individual two-household dwellings. No building permit shall be issued for the construction of any new building, structure, parking area, or loading area, or any substantial alteration thereto without first obtaining the approval of a site development plan as provided in this Article. For purposes of this article, "substantial alteration" refers to an addition in gross floor area, or parking or loading area equal to or greater than 25 percent of the existing area. To qualify as a substantial alteration, such an addition in area need not occur at any one time, but also may occur in a series of additions, over a period of five years.

(b)

Development of the site shall comply with the approved design and all conditions included in the site development plan. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued for a building constructed in violation of an approved site development plan.

(c)

Approval of a site development plan pursuant to this article shall not constitute a "vested property right" to develop the property in accordance with the approved plan as "vested property right" is defined in C.R.S. § 24-68-101 et seq. or otherwise, unless specific action is taken by city council, in accordance with the provisions of Article XXIX of this chapter.
