A. Management Team An application for a Master Planned Development shall identify a management team. The management team shall consist of the applicant, a licensed engineer, a licensed architect or landscape architect, a construction or project manager, and such others as the applicant desires. The applicant, engineer, or architect may also act as the construction or project manager. The qualifications of the management team will be a major factor in the approval or denial of the application. In order to assist the Council in determining the qualifications, a resume of each individual and/or firm on the management team shall be attached to the application. The resume shall, at a minimum, contain the experience of the person in developing master planned developments, a list of all prior projects completed as master planned developments, and a list of references related to the master planned developments. B. Overall Design An application for a Master Planned Development shall contain a description of the overall design of the project. The description should contain a short narrative accompanied by a preliminary plat map, including a subdivision layout and street cross sections, architectural drawings, an on-site utilities plan, an off-site utilities plan showing how utilities will be made available to the property if not readily available, and such other material as the applicant deems necessary to establish the quality of the project. The City encourages innovation and ingenuity, and therefore offers no specific guidelines. Projects which exceed the maximum density allowed in the Comprehensive General Plan for the total area where the project is located will be summarily rejected. Applicants should not assume that maximum density, as allowed in Comprehensive General Plan, can be obtained. Densities will be determined by the City, based on the overall quality of the project. C. Amenities Proposed An application for a Master Planned Development shall specifically list the amenities proposed. Amounts, types, and other pertinent information should be provided. Applications which provide generic descriptions of amenities will be summarily rejected. D. Phasing Plan An application for a Master Planned Development shall contain a phasing plan. The phasing plan shall specifically indicate when each proposed amenity will be provided, including the dedication of open space and the construction of improvements, in relation to the build out of the project. The final phasing plan, as approved by the City, shall be an exhibit to the development agreement. Assurance that the amenities will be built shall also be provided. E. Landscape / Fencing Plan An application for a Master Planned Development shall contain a plan showing how any common areas within the project will be landscaped. The plan shall also show if and how individual lots within the project will landscape. A fencing plan, if any fencing is proposed, including type and height, shall be submitted for the perimeter and each individual lot. Entrance signage/monuments, if any, shall be included in the plan.
