17.76.040 Zone map amendment, site plan and conditional use permit approval.
1. Zone Map Amendment. An application to apply the planned residential development overlay zone shall include a concept site plan, building elevations, and renderings showing the proposed project for the subject site. Any concept plan presented to the planning commission and city council for approval shall first be reviewed by the development review committee to ensure the proposal is technically feasible.
2. Site Plan.
a. Proposed development in the planned residential development overlay zone shall first submit a land use application for site plan approval. The applicant shall provide all requirements of the site plan to the city before the city considers the application submitted and before action is taken. The application for a site plan shall include all necessary fees and documentation required by this chapter.
b. The applicant shall submit the site plan for a planned residential development according to site plan submittal requirements outlined in the Lindon City Land Development Policies, Standard Specifications and Drawings Manual (Development Manual). In addition to the items required in the Development Manual, a complete application shall include building elevations and renderings, open space percentages and landscape plan, site circulation, and project size and density. At that time the applicant shall pay a fee in an amount established in the most recently adopted Lindon City Consolidated Fee Schedule. No development, construction, revisions, or additions shall take place on the site until the planning commission has approved the site plan, the site plan is considered finalized by the city, and the developer has obtained the appropriate permits. Applicants for amended site plans for planned residential developments shall follow the same procedures, pay the same fees, and be bound by the same development standards and requirements as applicants for site plans for planned residential developments. The planning director or designee has the authority to make minor amendments to the site plan where such amendments are in compliance with this chapter and the site plan is not materially altered.
c. The procedure for site plan approval shall be as follows:
i. Development Review Committee. The planning department shall forward the proposed site plan to the development review committee for initial review. The development review committee shall review the site plan, civil engineering, and architectural designs while considering whether it complies with the Lindon general plan and all city ordinances, resolutions, and policies. The site plan and architectural designs shall comply with the Lindon general plan and all city ordinances, resolutions, and policies before the planning commission can review the application.
ii. Planning Commission. The planning commission shall review the site plan and be the land use authority for all site plans for planned residential developments. The planning commission shall consider whether the proposed site plan complies with city ordinances, resolutions, policies, Development Manual and the general plan when reviewing a site plan for a planned residential development.
d. The applicant shall not amend or change any approved site plan without first following the procedure for approval of site plans.
e. The planning commission may impose conditions or require further studies of the site plan to mitigate dangerous hazards or evaluate impacts to public infrastructure or surrounding neighborhoods where there is substantiated evidence that a real safety hazard exists.
