DEVELOPMENT PLANS
§ 152.245 PURPOSE.
This section sets forth the content and procedure for submission, review, and approval of all development plans called for by the Planning Commission. The Commission shall require the submission of a development plan for all zone changes; provided, that the Commission may allow preliminary and final subdivision plats to be submitted in lieu of the development plan as appropriate. The Commission may also, at its discretion or at the discretion of the Enforcement Officer, require the submission and approval of a preliminary and/or a final development plan for all proposed developments. Decisions shall be based upon findings that there are existing or potential substantial flood, drainage, traffic, topographic, or other similar problems relating to the development of the subject property that could have an adverse effect on existing or future development of the subject property in the vicinity. A determination not to require a development plan will require the submission by the Enforcement Officer of a statement to the effect that the proposed development would not adversely affect existing development in the vicinity of the proposed project.
