All on-site and off-site improvements, both public and private, associated with the site development plan must be completed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. However, if all conditions necessary for issuance of a certificate of occupancy are met except landscape and other site improvements unrelated to vehicular access, storm water quality and storm drainage facilities, site grading, and retaining walls, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued. In that event, all improvements must be completed by the next planting season within a time frame established by the zoning administrator, but in no case to exceed 180 days after issuance of the temporary certificate of occupancy. As a condition of issuance of the temporary certificate of occupancy, project completion shall be guaranteed by the filing of a performance guarantee with the city in a form and amount as would be necessary to ensure completion of the improvements, and with such surety as are authorized to secure development agreements pursuant to this Code.
