§ 3372.03. Application.  


Latest version.
  • A.

    Any person or organization desiring the establishment of a planning overlay may file an application in conformity with all the provisions for amendments to the Zoning Code and the provisions of this chapter with the department on a form provided by it. Said application will be processed and reviewed by the staff, development commission and city council as a rezoning application. A fee may be imposed by ordinance of council.

    The intended purpose of a planning overlay shall be clearly evident and relate to the underlying land use pattern in a reasonable way. Proposals should exhibit the following characteristics:

    1.

    Implement recommendations contained in a council-approved plan passed by resolution;

    2.

    Specify standards which establish, maintain or change the development character of an area;

    3.

    Evidence advanced planning which supports and justifies the variations in existing standards or the imposition of additional standards.

    B.

    The Director may request additional information when needed to properly review the application. In all cases the minimum standards of the underlying zoning classification shall govern unless the planning overlay approved by council specifically stipulates a variation to that standard.
