The approval of a Final Site Plan requires review
and a recommendation from the Planning Commission and the Design
Review Commission as well as approval by the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen. The process provides for public input during
meetings with the Planning Commission, Design Review Commission,
and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The process typically
takes approximately 60-120 days to complete from the date of
submittal.
A development project would follow a basic Final
Site Plan application process as follows:
1) Applicant would conduct a preliminary meeting
with Development
Staff at least 30-45 days in advance of submittal of application (option with
Final Site Plan).
2) Applicant files a Preliminary or Final Site Plan Application
with the Planning
Division approximately 30 days in advance of scheduled meeting of the
Planning Commission.
3) Week 1 -- The application and related plan
documentation is circulated among Town departments for comments.
Planning Division Staff assembles comments for presentation
to applicant and their design professional(s).
4) Week 2 -- The Planning Division provides written
comments to applicant and design professional. The applicant
is given a 5-7 day time period to provide the Planning Division
with revised plan documents to address Town department concerns
and issues. Planning Division conducts meeting(s)
with applicant and design professional to review revisions
and remaining design issues prior to finalizing plan documents
for consideration by Planning Commission.
5) Week 3 -- Planning Division staff reviews
final plan documentation for completeness and compliance with
Town regulations. Preliminary drafts of staff reports are prepared
by staff. Planning Division prepares the agenda
and reports for the Planning Commission and delivers these
items to members of the Planning Commission for review approximately
5-6 days in advance of meeting.
6) Week 4 -- The Planning Commission conducts
a meeting during which time the staff, the applicant, and interested
persons are permitted to make presentations under specific
time guidelines. At the conclusion of the presentations, the
Commission deliberates and if they approve the application,
they will make a recommendation that may include conditions
of approval for consideration by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
The Planning Commission could deny the application. (The applicant
has the option of appealing the denial to the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen.)
If a Preliminary Plan is approved, the applicant must return to the Planning Commission for Final Plan Review
7) Immediately following a recommendation by
the Planning Commission on Final Plan, the applicant may proceed with an
application to appear before the Design Review Commission (DRC).
On occasion, the review of design plans is being undertaken
at the same time review of plans is being undertaken for the
Planning Commission.
The review process for the DRC takes similar
steps to those provided for the Planning Commission (see Item
1 through 6). The DRC, like the Planning Commission, will make
a recommendation, with conditions of approval if appropriate,
for consideration by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
8) The Board of Mayor and Aldermen will review
the application for Final Site Plan approval after the Planning
Commission and DRC have made their respective recommendations.
Revised plans based upon recommendation from the Planning Commission
and DRC will be presented to the Board for their review and
approval. A development agreement will also be considered
during their review of the application that outlines all public
and private improvements and fees required by the Town relative
to the project.
During the review by the Board, the public is
allowed to make comments within prescribed time guidelines.
At the conclusion of the presentations, the Board will deliberate
and make its decision to approve, disapprove, or approve with
conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission, DRC,
Development staff, and any additional conditions as they may
require of the applicant.
