The purpose of this article is to provide a procedural framework for guaranteeing the completion of the improvements shown on a plan approved under the auspices of this chapter.
A. 
This article shall always be applied to approvals granted to standard subdivisions and determinations of adequate access to land under Part 4, any planned development under Part 5, and any land development under Part 7.
B. 
This article may be applied to any other approval granted under this chapter, as deemed appropriate by the approving body.
C. 
Other approval processes may use the provisions of this article by reference with the consent of the Director of Planning and Community Development Department.
No approval to which the provisions of this article are applied shall be finally endorsed unless the primary document makes specific reference to all other documents to be recorded, including a developer's agreement. The primary document shall be as follows:
A. 
For subdivisions, the primary document shall be the subdivision plan.
B. 
For determinations of adequate access to land, the primary document shall be the Planning Administrator's approval.
C. 
For planned developments, the primary document shall be the plans.
D. 
For land developments, the primary document shall be the land development plans, as well as subdivision plans if unified approval was issued.
E. 
For zoning decisions, the primary document shall be the written decision issued by the Board (or Council, if applicable).
F. 
For independent decisions under Part 4, the primary document shall be the written decision of the approving officer.
G. 
For decisions issued under the urban redevelopment provisions of Part 8, the primary document shall be determined by the Redevelopment Authority or its representative in advance of the decision. Such determination shall be communicated to the applicant in advance so the proper additions can be made.
H. 
All other approval processes utilizing these provisions shall clearly state what document is the primary document for the purposes of this section.
A. 
To expedite the approval process, all approvals shall include a developer's agreement at the time approval is given. If a project is to be constructed in phases, a separate agreement shall be executed for each phase.
B. 
The developer's agreement shall be recorded into the chain of title, except in the case of a determination of adequate access to land. For a determination of adequate access to land, the performance covenant shall be construed as a standard contract arrangement between the applicant and the approving body.
