2. Site/improvement plans.
a. Upon approval of a concept plan where required, site improvement
plans shall be submitted for review and approval to the Building Commissioner.
In the case of developments consisting of multiple phases, lots and/or
plats where a concept plan is required, site/improvement plans shall
be submitted for each individual building, lot, phase or plat representing
a portion of the concept plan. The plan(s) shall contain the minimum
requirements established in the conditions governing the Planned District.

The concept plan, updated to reflect all structures, units and/or
maximum square footage of buildings constructed or approved for construction,
shall be provided with the subsequent submittal of site/improvement
plans for each additional building, lot, phase or plat representing
a portion of the concept plan. The Building Commissioner shall use
this plan to track existing site development, insuring that the current

3. Recording. Prior to the issuance of any building
permit or permit authorizing the use of the property in question,
the property owner shall record a copy of the approved concept plan
and any subsequent amendments thereto with the St. Louis County Recorder
of Deeds. In cases where a concept plan is not required, the property
owner shall record a copy of the approved site plan. Said plan shall
include a legal description of the tract and a script which indicates
its correlation with the Planned Development (PD) District. Following
the recording of the site plan, two (2) original copies of the plan
bearing the St. Louis County Recorder's signature, seal and notation
as to plat book and page shall be returned to the City before any
permits for any manner of construction shall be issued. Failure to
record the plan within the time specified in the conditions of the
ordinance enacting the Planned Development (PD) District shall cause
approval of the plan to terminate.
4. Procedure to amend a Planned Development (PD) District or
planned development concept or site plan. In order to amend
an existing Planned Development (PD) District or to amend the concept
or site plan for the Planned District, the procedure shall be as follows:
a. To amend the Planned Development (PD) District.
(1)
The property owner or authorized representative shall submit
a written request to amend the planned district to the Building Commissioner.
The Building Commissioner shall evaluate the request for consistency
in purpose and content with the nature of the proposal as originally
advertised for public hearing.
(2)
The Building Commissioner shall then forward the request and
his report to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and
Zoning Commission shall review the proposed amendments and file a
report with the City Board of Alderpersons in which the Commission
shall recommend to grant, deny or modify the requested amendments.
If the Planning and Zoning Commission determines that the requested
amendments are not consistent in purpose and content with the nature
of the proposal as originally advertised for public hearing, the Commission
may require a new public hearing on the matter in accordance with
the proceedings specified for amending the Zoning Code.
b. To amend the planned district concept or site plan.
(1)
The property owner or authorized representative shall submit
an amended concept and/or site plan to the office of the Building
Commissioner for review. The Building Commissioner shall evaluate
the request for consistency in purpose and content with the nature
of the proposal as originally advertised for public hearing.
(2)
If the Building Commissioner determines that the proposed amendment
to the concept and/or site plan is not in conflict with the original
proposal as advertised and the plan meets all the conditions of the
Planned District, the Building Commissioner may approve said amended
plan. The approved plan shall be retained on file in the office of
the Building Commissioner.
(3)
If the Building Commissioner determines that the proposed amendment
to the concept and/or site plan is not consistent in purpose and content
with the original proposal as advertised and with the conditions of
the Planned District, he shall so report to the applicant and the
Planning and Zoning Commission. The Planning and Zoning Commission
shall review the proposed plan amendment and make a final determination.
The Planning and Zoning Commission may, if it deems necessary, require
a new public hearing on the matter in accordance with procedures specified
for amending the zoning ordinances.
I. Guarantee Of Improvements. After the approval of the site/improvement
plans but prior to the issuance of any building permit or permit authorizing
the use of the property in question, the developer shall enter into
an agreement with the City guaranteeing the completion of all public
improvements in accordance with the City of Greendale Subdivision
Code.
J. Limitations.
1. Failure to commence construction. Unless otherwise
stated in the development conditions, substantial work or construction
shall commence within one (1) year of the effective date of the Planned
Development (PD) District, unless such time period is extended through
appeal to and approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. If no
extension of time is received or granted within six (6) months subsequent
to the one (1) year period following the effective date of the Planned
Development (PD) District, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall
review any changes in the Zoning District Map brought by the proposed
development. If the Commission finds said changes to be inappropriate,
the Commission shall recommend to the Board of Alderpersons that the
map be revised in accordance with the procedures for changes and amendments.
As used in this Section, substantial work or construction shall include
final grading for roadways necessary for first (1st) approved plat
or phase of construction and commencement of installation of sanitary
and storm sewers as applicable.
2. Abandonment. In the event the concept or site/improvement
plans are not submitted within the time limits specified in the ordinance
enacting the Planned Development (PD) District or a use authorized
by a Planned Development (PD) District is abandoned, vacated and/or
and not utilized for a period of one (1) year, the zoning amendment
may be terminated. If no extension of time is received or granted
within six (6) months subsequent to the expiration of the one (1)
year period, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall review any changes
in the Zoning District Map brought by the proposed development. If
the Commission finds said changes to be inappropriate, the Commission
shall recommend to the Board of Alderpersons that the map be revised
in accordance with the procedures for changes and amendments.
3. Extension of development schedule. The owner or
owners may, at any time, apply to the Planning and Zoning Commission
for an extension of the development schedule. Such extension shall
be acted upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission, however, said
extension shall not exceed twelve (12) months in duration.
