[Ord. No. 224 §§1 —

A.
It
is recognized by this Chapter that there is a value to the public
establishing safe and convenient traffic movement, regulating site
density, both within the site and in relation to access streets; that
there is value in encouraging a harmonious relationship of buildings
and uses both within a site and in relation to adjacent uses; further
that there are benefits to the public in conserving natural resources.
Toward this end, this Chapter requires site plan review and approval
by the Commission for certain buildings and structures that can be
expected to have a significant impact on natural resources, traffic
patterns, adjacent land usage and the character of future urban development.
B.
The
site plan is intended to demonstrate to the Board of Aldermen and
Planning and Zoning Commission the character and objectives of the
proposed development in adequate detail for the Commission to evaluate
the effect the proposed development would have on the community and
determine what provisions, if any, should be included as part of the
plan and be binding on the use and development of the property.
C.
This
Article defines the process, review and approval by Planning and Zoning
for single-family residential (one (1) dwelling) or Board of Aldermen
for large scale development ("PUD", subdivision and multi-family).

[Ord. No. 224 §§1 —

A site plan may be amended or revised by the Commission and Board of Aldermen so far as the Board of Aldermen approved site plan is concerned, for which the City Engineer has not issued a building permit or the work authorized under an issued building permit has not been completed. Such amendment shall be made upon application and in accordance with the procedure provided under Section 405.680 of this Chapter.

B.
The
