20.08.030 Application Procedure

A. The city procedure for processing rezoning applications for developments requires an applicant to submit as part of the rezoning application, a concept development plan and to specify the general land uses, the general site and building arrangements which will occupy the property, and the general time frame and phasing of development if rezoning is granted. B. Applications shall be on forms provided by the city and shall be accompanied by materials and plans as found in the check list provided with the application. Applications shall be submitted to the city planner. C. Neighboring property owners will be notified of the rezoning application, and the general conceptual details of what is proposed, including how and when it would be located on the property. D. The Planning Commission and the City Council will consider whether the application should be approved or disapproved based upon the merits and compatibility of the proposed project with the master plan and surrounding land uses and its impact on the surrounding area. They will consider also whether the proposed development, and in turn the petitioned-for rezoning, is needed to provide a service or convenience brought about by changing conditions and which therefore promotes the public welfare. They may require subsequent changes in the concept development plan in order to achieve compatibility and may impose any conditions to lessen or eliminate adverse impacts. (Ord.2013-2, dated 5/28/13)
