The reviewing board shall grant final approval
if the detailed drawings, specifications and estimates of the application
for final approval conform to the standards established by ordinance
for final approval and the conditions of preliminary approval, provided
that in the case of a planned development, the reviewing body may
permit minimal deviations from the conditions of preliminary approval
necessitated by change of conditions beyond the control of the developer
since the date of preliminary approval without the developer being
required to submit another application for development for preliminary
approval.
Final approval shall be granted or denied within
45 days after submission of a complete application to the Secretary
of the reviewing board, or within such further time as may be consented
to by the applicant. Failure of the reviewing board to act within
the period prescribed shall constitute final approval of the application
for final approval as submitted, and a certificate of the Secretary
of the reviewing board as to failure of the reviewing board to act
shall be issued on request of the applicant, and it shall be sufficient
in lieu of the written endorsement or other required evidence of approval.
A complete application for final approval shall
consist of the following:
A. A properly completed final site plan approval form.
C. A site plan in final form, including all the information
shown on the preliminary plan, conditions of preliminary approval,
plus the following:
(1) All site improvements completed to date clearly indicated
as completed.
(2) All site improvements remaining to be completed clearly
indicated as incomplete.
The zoning requirements applicable to the preliminary approval first granted and all other rights conferred upon the developer pursuant to §
149-19 of this chapter, whether conditionally or otherwise, shall not be changed for a period of two years after the date of final approval. If the developer has followed the standards prescribed for final approval, the reviewing board may extend such period of protection for extensions of one year but not to exceed three extensions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the granting of final approval terminates the time period of preliminary approval pursuant to §§
149-11 through
149-16 of this chapter for the section granted final approval.
In the case of a site plan for a planned development of 50 acres or more or conventional site plan for 150 acres or more, the reviewing board may grant the rights referred to in §
149-23 of this article for such period of time, longer than two years, as shall be determined by the reviewing board to be reasonable taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final approval, economic conditions and the comprehensiveness of the development. The developer may apply for thereafter, and the reviewing board may thereafter grant, an extension of final approval for such additional period of time as shall be determined by the reviewing board to be reasonable taking into consideration the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area permissible under final approval, the number of dwelling units and nonresidential floor area remaining to be developed, economic conditions and the comprehensiveness of the development.
