[Ord. No. 18-12, 12-11-2018]
A. 
Principal Steps In Gaining Approval. Before any land is subdivided, the applicant shall apply for and secure approval of the proposed subdivision in accordance with the following procedures. Shown immediately below are the principal steps in gaining approval for a major subdivision.
1. 
Conceptual Review With Site Visit. Attendance and participation required by applicant.
2. 
Sketch Plan Including Four-Step Design Process. Reviewed administratively by the City Planner, City Engineer, City Storm Water Manager, and Zoning Commissioner.
3. 
Preliminary Plat. Approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
4. 
Final Plat. Recommendation from Planning and Zoning Commission; approved by the Board of Aldermen.
B. 
Official Submission Dates. For the purposes of these regulations, the official submission date of any sketch plan or plat shall be as defined in Chapter 402.
C. 
Reimbursement Of Development Review Costs (See also Section 405.053). Prior to the review of any development application by the City (this includes, but is not limited to, the review of sketch plans, preliminary and final plats, site plans, Area Plans, construction plans, landscape plans, erosion control plans, subdivision improvement agreements, development agreements and maintenance agreements), the applicant shall deposit with the City Treasurer the pre-established fee outlined on the City fee schedule kept at City Hall. The deposit will pay for development review fees incurred by the City, which include City Planner, City Engineer, and City Attorney fees; any other required consultant fees or reviews required by the City; the cost to reproduce materials; legal publication expenses; public hearing expenses and the cost to record documents. The City will draw on this deposit at the current rates billed by the consultants. Information regarding anticipated consultant fees can be obtained at City Hall or on the City's website (www.weldonspring.org)).
The City will maintain a separate account of all fees and expenses incurred by the City as a result of development review. Regular statements of expenses incurred will be made available to the applicant by the City. As the City receives billings from the consultants, or any other reviews required by the City, it will withdraw funds from the initial deposit until those funds are depleted. After that point, a project summary indicating the development review cost overage incurred by the City will be invoiced to the developer; photocopies of invoices from the City Planner, City Engineer, City Attorney, or any other required reviewers will be available at City Hall upon request. In the event the applicant fails to pay the invoice within thirty (30) days of delivery, the City shall be entitled to:
1. 
Suspend all further review;
2. 
Cancel any hearing before the Planning and Zoning or Board of Aldermen previously scheduled by the City with respect to the review process;
3. 
Utilize the applicant's/development's escrow money to pay off any unpaid balance for development review costs incurred by the City.
D. 
Development Review Deposit. Once the City is in receipt of the completed application and any pertinent plans, the applicant shall pay the City the pre-established fee deposit (see City Fee Schedule). Once all applicable permit fees have been paid to the City, copies of the application will be distributed to the City Planner, the City Engineer, and the City Storm Water Manager for review. Review will progress until the permit fee deposit(s) for the project are depleted, at which time the applicant will be invoiced for any development review cost overages.
[Ord. No. 18-12, 12-11-2018]
A. 
Purpose Of Conceptual Review. The purpose of the conceptual review is to hold an informal meeting to develop a better understanding of the site's potential, discuss ideas for the site, to walk the site, and to ultimately prepare a conceptual design for the site. Developers will obtain upfront insights regarding which site features City staff and local officials want to conserve as well as impacts they want to avoid.
B. 
Scheduling A Conceptual Review Meeting. The following items shall be received by the City in order for a conceptual review meeting to be scheduled:
1. 
A completed conceptual review application form.
2. 
The conceptual review application fee.
3. 
A complete conceptual review submittal (see Subsection (C) below for list of conceptual review submittal requirements).
Once all of the application requirements have been received by the City (completed form, associated fee, submittal) and the City Planner, City Engineer, City Storm Water Manager, and Zoning Commissioner all agree that the conceptual review submittal is complete, the project can then be scheduled for a conceptual review meeting. Conceptual review meetings are held at City Hall and generally scheduled in the morning.
(NOTE: Sketch plan meetings are tentatively scheduled at the same time conceptual review meetings are scheduled, but for the month following the conceptual review meeting, barring unforeseen delays.)
C. 
Conceptual Review Submittal Requirements. The four (4) main requirements for the conceptual review submittal are as follows, and they are described in greater detail below:
1.
Site context map.
2.
Existing resources and site analysis map.
3.
Yield plan.
4.
Adjacent landowner address list and address labels.
1. 
Site Context Map (five (5) hard copies; one (1) electronic PDF version on CD). The purpose of the site context map is to adequately acquaint City staff and officials with the development patterns and resources within the vicinity of the proposed development early in the development process, and is critical to planning for open space connections and buffers and in mitigating developmental impacts. The site context map shall be drawn as follows, based on property size:
a.

(2) 
Map should extend one thousand (1,000) feet outward of parcel in question.
b. 
Properties equal to or greater than one hundred (100) acres:
(1) 
Scale: one (1) inch equals four hundred (400) feet.
(2) 
Map should extend two thousand (2,000) feet outward of parcel in question
To minimize costs involved, most data can be easily reproduced from published sources such as aerial photos, County geographic information systems (GIS) data, United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic sheets, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain maps, and United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) wetlands maps. A site context map shall include the following data for the entire map area (including the proposed site):
(a) 
Topography.
(b) 
Stream valleys.
(c) 
Wetlands.
(d) 
Woodlands over one-half (1/2) acre in size (from aerial photographs).

Existing development patterns.
2. 
Existing Resources and Site Analysis Map (five (5) hard copies; one (1) electronic PDF version on CD). The existing resources and site analysis map shall provide the developer and the City with a comprehensive analysis of existing conditions on the proposed development site and within five hundred (500) feet of the proposed development site. The existing resources and site analysis map shall be drawn at a scale of one (1) inch equals two hundred (200) feet. The following information shall be included on the map:
a. 
A vertical aerial photograph with the site boundaries clearly marked.
b. 
Total acreage of the tract.
c. 
Contour lines which shall generally be at ten (10) foot intervals. Slopes between fifteen percent (15%) and twenty-five percent (25%) and those exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) shall be clearly indicated. FEMA datum benchmarks for the topography shall also be included on the map to ensure that provided elevations are based on the same datum as the City flood study. Topography shall be prepared by a professional land surveyor or professional engineer.
d. 
The location and delineation of ponds, streams, ditches, drains, and natural drainage swales, as well as the 100-year floodplains and wetlands. Any additional areas of wetlands discovered via testing, visual inspection, or the presence of wetland vegetation shall also be shown.
e. 
Vegetative cover conditions on the property according to general cover type, including cultivated land, permanent grassland, meadow, pasture, old field, hedgerow, woodland, wetland, and the actual canopy line of existing trees and woodlands. Vegetative types shall be described by plant community, relative age, and condition.
f. 
Soil series, types, and phases, as mapped by the United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service in the published soil survey for the County, and accompanying data published for each soil relating to its suitability for construction (and, in unsewered areas, for septic suitability).

3. 
Yield Plan (five (5) hard copies; one (1) electronic PDF version on CD). A yield plan is a sketch map-based approach to determine the potential maximum number of dwelling units that could possibly be built on a given property. Please note, the purpose of the yield plan is to determine overall potential density for a site only and is not intended to confer any legal or equitable right to any specific number of dwelling units on any given tract of land. Yield plans shall meet the following requirements:
a. 
Yield plans shall be prepared as conceptual layout plans in accordance with the standards of the City of Weldon Spring Subdivision Regulations, containing proposed lots, streets, rights-of-way, and other pertinent features.
b. 
Each lot shall contain at least the minimum area of buildable land that is required for all lots in the zoning district where the property is located and shall conform to all dimensional requirements of the zoning district where the property is located. Undevelopable lands (see Chapter 402 for definition) may not be counted towards any total lot area.
c. 
Each lot shall conform to all dimensional requirements of the zoning district where the property is located.
d. 
Yield plans shall be drawn to scale but do not need to be based on a field survey.
e. 
Yield plans shall depict a lot layout and design reflecting a development pattern that could reasonably and realistically be developed, taking into account the presence of wetlands, floodplains, steep slopes, existing easements or encumbrances, and suitable soils if public sewage disposal will not be provided.
f. 
The density of sites not served by central sewage disposal shall not be less than that mandated by State and/or County laws.
g. 
The density of sites not served by central sewage disposal shall be further determined by evaluating the number of homes that could be supported by individual septic systems on conventional lots.
4. 
Adjacent Landowner Address List And Address Labels. A list of adjacent property owners within one hundred eighty-five (185) feet of the boundary of the premises and self- sticking address labels with the name and address of each of said property owners.
D. 
Conceptual Review Meeting Attendees.
1. 
Applicant Representatives. Applicant representatives at the conceptual review shall include at a minimum the applicant or the applicant's representative. It is strongly recommended that the person who will be responsible for preparing the sketch plan (Section 410.240) attend the conceptual review. A representative for the applicant is required to point out the location of various features on the property during the site visit and at the conceptual review design session (see Subsection (F)(4) below) a cursory version of the four-step subdivision design process will be conducted and the applicant would be remiss not having their designer there.
2. 
City Representatives. City representatives at the conceptual review shall include at least three (3) of the following City representatives: City Planner, City Engineer, Zoning Commissioner, City Storm Water Manager, City Administrator, or the Mayor. The Board of Aldermen and the Planning and Zoning Commissioners shall be invited to all conceptual review meetings and are strongly encouraged to attend. The City shall also invite a representative from the St. Charles County Soil and Water Conservation District and the Missouri Department of Conservation. When applicable to the site, as determined by the City, a representative from the Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may also be invited.
3. 
Adjacent Landowners. Adjacent landowners shall be invited to the conceptual review due to the fact that the process tends to flow more smoothly when adjacent landowners are invited to participate in the process at an early stage. The applicant shall provide the City with a list of adjacent landowners and the City will mail them notice of the conceptual review.
E. 
What Applicant Should Bring/Wear To Conceptual Review.
1. 
Existing Resources And Site Analysis Map Handouts. The applicant shall provide ten (10) handout-sized copies of the existing resources and site analysis map for interested parties to individually reference and take notes on during the site visit.
2. 
Suggested Attire. It is strongly suggested that attendees wear hiking shoes and clothing suitable for current and inclement weather, as attendees will be outside walking the site.
F. 
Conceptual Review Meeting Procedure.
1. 
Convene At City Hall. The applicant and City attendees will meet at City Hall at the date and time scheduled by the City Administrative Assistant.
2. 
Applicant Presents Maps. At the beginning of the meeting, the applicant will present the context map and the existing resources and site analysis map to the City attendees and other interested parties.
3. 
Site Visit. After the sketch plan application has been reviewed, attendees will conduct a site visit on the property. The applicant or the applicant's representative will be responsible for pointing out the location of various features on the property. The intent of the site visit is to get City representatives acquainted with the property, to verify data on the existing resources and site analysis map, and for the attendees to work together to identify primary and secondary conservation areas (i.e., features to be designed around and preserved), and any additional site opportunities and/or constraints such as potential linkages to natural or cultural features on adjacent properties.
4. 
Conceptual Review Design Session. After the site visit, a conceptual review design session is required. The conceptual review design session can take place following the site visit, or due to the length of time required, can be scheduled for another date at the applicant's discretion. Regardless of the date, attendees will convene at City Hall and, based on the existing resources and site analysis map and the outcome of the site visit, conduct a conceptual review design session. At this meeting interested parties will participate in a cursory version of the four-step subdivision design process (the four-step design process is required for the sketch plan submittal, see Section 410.240 below for more details). The purpose of a conceptual review design session is to help the applicant establish an overall design approach that respects the site's special and/or noteworthy features while providing for the density permitted under the zoning ordinance. Additional meetings may be required.
G. 
Next Step. Once the City Planner, City Engineer, City Storm Water Manager, and the Zoning Commissioner all agree that the project is ready to proceed, the applicant may begin preparing for the next step, sketch plan submittal and subsequent meeting. The City may waive the sketch plan step if an adequate sketch plan is developed at the conceptual review meeting.
[Ord. No. 18-12, 12-11-2018]
A. 
Purpose Of Sketch Plan. A sketch plan consists of simple and basic drawings that illustrate conceptual layouts of lots, streets and conservation areas. The purpose of the sketch plan process is to outline the overall design concept by showing areas of proposed conservation and proposed development. It is also to ensure that the City and the applicant are "on the same page" prior to a significant investment in costly engineering documents by the applicant.
B. 
Sketch Plan Procedure. Once the applicant has completed their conceptual review, and the City Planner, City Engineer, City Storm Water Manager, and Zoning Commissioner all agree that the project is ready for the sketch plan meeting, the applicant may proceed with the scheduled sketch plan meeting.
C. 
Sketch Plan Meeting. Sketch plan meetings are held at City Hall. As previously mentioned, sketch plan meetings shall be scheduled at the same time that conceptual review meetings are scheduled, but for the month following conceptual review. If, however, delays occur and the City Planner, City Engineer, City Storm Water Manager, and Zoning Commissioner all do not agree that the project is ready for the sketch plan meeting, the meeting date could be changed.
D. 
Sketch Plan Meeting Requirements. The applicant must bring five (5) hard copies and one (1) electronic PDF version on CD of the following items to the sketch plan meeting. It is not necessary to submit anything ahead of time, however, the applicant should submit the sketch plan meeting fee to the City as soon as it is clear that the sketch plan meeting will take place, or the meeting could be delayed.
1. 
Site Context Map. This map was prepared for conceptual review (see Section 410.230(C)(1)). The same map can be brought to the sketch plan meeting unless revisions and/or additions were identified at the conceptual review, and then the revisions and/or additions should be included on new versions of the map.
2. 
Existing Resources And Site Analysis Map. This map was prepared for conceptual review (see Section 410.230(C)(2)) and can be brought to the sketch plan meeting unless revisions and/or additions were identified at conceptual review, and then the revisions and/or additions are to be included on new versions of the map.
3. 
Yield Plan. A yield plan was prepared for conceptual review (see Section 410.230(C)(3)) and can be brought to the sketch plan meeting unless revisions and/or additions were identified at conceptual review, and then the revisions and/or additions are to be included on new versions of the document.
4. 
Sketch Plan Drawings. Sketch plan drawings are described in detail in Subsection (E) below.
E. 
Sketch Plan Drawings And The Four-Step Design Process.
1. 
It is recommended that all sketch plan drawings be prepared by a landscape architect or a site planner or engineer with significant site design experience. (It is also recommended that this person attended the conceptual review.)
2. 
Sketch plan drawings shall include the names and addresses of the owner, applicant (if not the owner), and the person responsible for preparing the drawings.
3. 
Sketch plan drawings should be prepared on white transparent sheets that overlay the site's existing resource and site analysis map. This allows anyone who is reviewing the drawings to see how well the proposed layout avoids highly ranked conservation areas (see Section 410.360 for a prioritized list of resources to be conserved). Ideally the proposed development should not intrude upon the resources documented in the existing resources and site analysis map.
4. 
Sketch plan drawings shall be based on the outcome of the conceptual review design session (see Section 410.230(F)(4)).
5. 
Four-Step Design Process. The sketch plan drawings shall be created using the following four-step subdivision design process. This four-step process is used to determine the layout of proposed conservation areas, dwellings and/or building sites, streets, and lot lines. The four (4) steps are as follows:
a. 
Step 1: Identify primary and secondary conservation areas.
b. 
Step 2: Locate potential dwelling and/or building sites.
c. 
Step 3: Align streets and trails.
d. 
Step 4: Draw in lot lines.
Applicants shall submit four (4) separate sketch maps, or overlays, indicating the findings of each step, following these guidelines:
Step 1: Identify primary and secondary conservation areas.
a.
Step One consists of identifying the land that should be permanently protected. The applicant incorporates areas pre-identified (by the City) on the City's potential conservation lands map (Figure 3 in the City of Weldon Spring Comprehensive Plan, 2015); areas identified on the site specific existing resources and site analysis map (see Section 410.230(C)(2)); and any additional areas noted at the site visit to identify the primary and secondary conservation areas.
b.
Primary conservation areas include areas previously identified on the City's potential conservation and constrained lands map (Figure 3 in the City of Weldon Spring Comprehensive Plan, 2015) as well as any additional limited lands including wetlands, land within the 100-year floodplain and slope greater than twenty-five percent (25%).
c.
Secondary conservation areas include features such as mature woodlands, greenways and trails, river and stream corridors, prime farmland, natural meadows, hedgerows and individual freestanding trees or woodlands dense with mature or majestic trees, wildlife habitats and travel corridors, historic sites and structures, scenic views, etc.
d.
After "greenlining" these conservation elements, the remaining part of the property becomes the potential development area.
Step 2: Locate potential dwelling and/or building sites.
a.
Step Two consists of locating sites of individual houses and/or buildings within the potential development area.
b.
The number of permitted dwellings is a function of the density permitted within the zoning district and is based on the yield plan created for the property (see Section 410.230(C)(3) above).
c.
Structure sites should generally be located not closer than one hundred (100) feet from primary conservation areas and fifty (50) feet from secondary conservation areas, taking into consideration the potential negative impact of development on such areas as well as the potential positive benefits of such locations to provide attractive views and visual settings for residences.
d.
Ideally, views of the green space should be maximized. Views from roadways into the property should also be considered (i.e., dwelling lots should not back up to public streets).
Step 3: Align streets and trails.
a.
Step Three simply involves "connecting the dots" with streets and planned trails.
b.
Upon designating the structure sites, a street plan shall be designed to provide vehicular access to each structure, complying with the standards in Section 410.540 of these regulations and bearing a logical relationship to topographic conditions. Impacts of the street plan on proposed primary and secondary conservation areas shall be minimized, particularly with respect to crossing environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands and traversing slopes exceeding fifteen percent (15%) from surrounding area.
c.
Street connections shall be made when possible to minimize the number of new culs-de-sac and to facilitate access to and from homes in different parts of the tract (and adjoining parcels).
Step 4: Draw in lot lines.
a.
In Step Four lot lines are drawn as required to delineate the boundaries of individual lots.
F. 
Sketch Plan Review And Approval. The City Planner, City Engineer, the City Storm Water Manager, and the City Zoning Commissioner shall review the sketch plan submittal requirements at the meeting and determine if it is in conformance with these regulations as well as other applicable regulation in the Municipal Code. Review of the sketch plan application shall, include, but is not limited to, the review of:
1. 
The location of all areas proposed for land disturbance (streets, foundations, yards, septic disposal systems, storm water management areas, etc.) with respect to notable features of environmental, cultural, and historical significance as identified on the applicant's existing resources and site analysis map and on the City's map of potential conservation lands;
2. 
The potential for street connections with existing streets, other proposed streets, or potential developments on adjoining parcels;
3. 
The location of proposed access points along the existing road network;
4. 
The proposed building density and impervious coverage;
5. 
The compatibility of the proposal with respect to the goals and policies of the City of Weldon Spring Comprehensive Plan; and
6. 
Consistency with the zoning regulations and other applicable Sections of the Municipal Code.
If the City Planner, City Engineer, City Storm Water Manager, and Zoning Commissioner determine the submittal is complete, the applicant is then eligible to submit a preliminary plat application.
If, however, the City Planner, City Engineer, City Storm Water Manager, and Zoning Commissioner determine that the sketch plan application is not complete, the applicant will be provided with comments detailing the recommended changes and/or additional information that is required. The applicant must then resubmit five (5) copies of the portions of the application that require changes and/or submit any new information that is required. The City Planner, City Engineer, City Storm Water Manager, and Zoning Commissioner will review the application to determine if it is complete.

[Ord. No. 18-12, 12-11-2018]
A. 
General Requirements. Planned district procedures shall be carried out simultaneously with subdivision review whenever the planned district development entails the subdivision of land. Plans submitted for a planned district application (e.g., Area Plan, final development plan or section plan; see Article X of the Zoning Regulations for more details on planned district procedures) shall satisfy the requirements of both the Subdivision Regulations and the Zoning Regulations.
B. 
Procedure. When a planned district development involves the subdivision of land, an approved final development plan or section plan shall constitute an approved preliminary plat (see Section 405.355(A)(6) of the Zoning Regulations). An Area Plan and a final development plan/section plan replace the typically required site plan (see Section 405.345(D) of the Zoning Regulations).
C. 
Applications then follow normal review and approval procedures according to these Subdivision Regulations and the Zoning Regulations. No building permits or land use permits shall be issued for the project until the Area Plan, the final development plan/section plan (again, see Article X of the Zoning Regulations for more details on planned district procedures) and the preliminary plat have been approved and the final plat has been approved by the Board of Aldermen and recorded with the St. Charles County Recorder of Deeds.
D. 
Resubdivisions Of Planned District Developments.

If the subdivision or resubdivision of a planned district development will create a new lot line, the applicant shall make application to the Planning and Zoning Commission for the approval of the subdivision or resubdivision. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall approve the subdivision only if an amended final development plan/section plan is also approved by the appropriate body or official as indicated in the Zoning Ordinance for all provisions governing use, density and bulk standards.
[Ord. No. 18-12, 12-11-2018]
A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this Section is to provide a procedure where the construction of a display house or a multi-family display unit can begin prior to the recording of the final subdivision plat, provided that it conforms to all of the requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance, including, but not limited to, Article XI, Architectural Review Commission (ARC) approval and that it receives a land use permit from the Zoning Commissioner.
B. 
Procedure. The applicant may, after receiving approval of a preliminary plat from the Planning and Zoning Commission, approval of the sediment and erosion control plan from the City Engineer and a discharge permit from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, submit a display house plat to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and approval. There may be one (1) display house or unit for every ten (10) houses or multi-family units proposed. The display house plat shall include a complete boundary survey of the proposed subdivision and the location of each display house in relation to proposed lots. The script of said display house plat shall contain terms and conditions as required by the Planning and Zoning Commission, including, but not limited to, the following:
1. 
The display house plat shall be filed in the office of the City Zoning Commissioner prior to issuance of a building permit for any display house/unit.
2. 
The display house plat shall become null and void upon the recording of a final plat which establishes that each display house/unit is on an approved lot.
3. 
No part of the proposed subdivision may be conveyed for any structure therein until the display house(s) or unit(s) have been located on an approved and recorded lot.

Failure of the owner to remove the display houses or units from the property within one (1) year plus thirty (30) days of date of approval shall constitute the granting of authority to the City of Weldon Spring to remove the display houses or units, the cost of which shall be borne by the owner and shall become a lien against the property.
6. 
The display house plat shall be executed by a registered land surveyor, the owner of the property and, if applicable, the lien holder.
7. 
There shall be a filing fee plus a per house/unit fee. Fees are established by the Board of Aldermen and are listed on the official "Weldon Spring Fee Schedule," copies of which are available at City Hall and on the City's web page (www.weldonspring.org).
