Project master plan requirements and approval process

A. Purpose. The purpose of the master plan is to establish general planning and development control parameters while allowing sufficient flexibility to permit detailed planning at the time of development. If the applicant desires to phase the development plan, the anticipated pattern of development shall be included in the master plan. B. Processing Requirements. Any district or use which requires a project master plan pursuant to the provisions of this title shall comply with the following procedure: 1. All applications for a project master plan shall require a public hearing and shall comply with sections 19.510.010 and 19.510.020 of this code; and 2. The planning commission shall approve the project master plan if the development shown on the plan complies with the provisions of the district. If the application for a project master plan is being processed concurrently with an application for a change of zoning, the planning commission shall approve the project master plan if the development shown on the plan complies with the district being requested and any conditions placed on the approval of the change of zoning. The planning commission shall not approve the project master plan if the requirements of this subsection are not met. C. A project master plan shall be a scaled, graphic representation of the following information together with all necessary explanatory material: 1. The boundaries of the area involved and the owners of the land contained therein, as well as all existing public streets and rights-of-way within and adjacent to the site; 2. The existing and proposed location of all buildings and uses on the site and the descriptions of buildings and uses proposed; 3. The general location of all existing and proposed parking facilities which includes, but which is not limited to, the approximate number of parking spaces at each location and all existing and proposed means of vehicular access to parking areas and to public streets, and any proposed changes in the location, width, or character of public streets within and adjacent to the site; and 4. The general use of major existing and proposed open spaces within the site and general features of the plan, such as screening, buffering, or retention of natural areas which are intended to enhance the compatibility of the site with adjacent properties. D. No development plan, as set forth in this title, shall be approved nor shall any subdivision, building, or occupancy permit, or any other construction or development permit or approval be issued by any department of the county unless the approval or issuance shall be in compliance with the provisions of this chapter and substantially in accordance with the approved project master plan.
