[Amended 5-23-2017 by Ord. No. 17-13]
A. Purpose and applicability.
(1)
The purpose of a site plan is to ensure, prior to the issuance
of any building permits, that the use and development of land will
be in compliance with the zoning regulations set forth within this
chapter.
(2)
A site plan is required for all construction, reconstruction,
alteration, land disturbing activities, and changes of use in any
zoning district. This requirement shall be subject to the exemptions
set forth below.
(3)
No site plan shall be required for the following uses, provided
the Zoning Administrator determines that the use will not require
the improvements set forth in this section:
(a)
Single-family detached, single-family attached, and duplex dwellings
and their related uses and structures on a vacant lot.
(b)
Educational facilities located in existing religious institutions.
(c)
Renovations of buildings when existing site improvements comply
with the standards in this chapter.
(d)
The Zoning Administrator may waive or modify the requirement
for a site plan upon a finding that the waiver of the requirement
will not adversely affect the adequacy of provisions for those items
regulated through the site plan.
B. Site plans distinguished.
(1)
Site plans shall take one of the following two formats: minor
site plan, or major site plan. Minor site plans are required for use
changes where the land disturbance will be less than 2,500 square
feet. All other site plans shall follow the major site plan requirements.
(2)
The Zoning Administrator shall be the approving authority for
major and minor site plans.
C. Review process.
(1)
Prior to the initial submission of an application seeking approval
of a site plan, the owner or proprietor of land who desires to apply
for site plan approval shall file an application with the Zoning Administrator
to attend the Technical Review Committee pre-application conference.
The staff shall place the matter on the agenda of the next available
meeting of the Technical Review Committee, and shall notify the applicant
of the conference meeting date.
(2)
The applicant shall make an initial submission of the proposed
site plan for review. The Technical Review Committee shall thoroughly
review the site plan and make a good faith effort to identify all
deficiencies, if any, with the initial submission, and communicate
same to the applicant. The applicant may submit a revised proposed
site plan for final Technical Review Committee review, prior to making
the official submission of the site plan.
(3)
The applicant shall make an official submission of a site plan
revised to address the Technical Review Committee's comments. The
site plan is officially submitted when it is delivered to the office
of the Zoning Administrator accompanied by the application fee and
all pertinent information. The Zoning Administrator shall act on any
proposed site plan within 60 days after it has been officially submitted
for approval by either approving or disapproving the site plan in
writing, and giving with the latter specific reasons therefor. This
deadline may be extended with the written consent of the applicant.
(4)
Public notice. Commercial and residential site development plan applications require written, website, and posted notice under §
72-21.9.
(5)
The provisions of this section and Article 72-5 of this chapter
set forth the requirements for submission and approval of site plans.

Submittal requirements are contained in the UDO Procedures Manual.
D. Review criteria.
(1)
The Development Administrator shall act on a proposed site plan after it has been officially submitted for approval, as directed within the Subsection
C above. The City's action shall be based on the findings of whether the proposed site plan meets the requirements below referenced in the following Subsection
D(2), and whether the proposed site plan demonstrates that the use and development of land depicted therein will comply with applicable City zoning regulations.
(2)
Every site plan shall be prepared in such form, and shall include
such content, as necessary to demonstrate compliance with applicable
zoning regulations, and shall be prepared and submitted in accordance
with the requirements set forth within the Procedures Manual.
