17.65.080 MPD review procedures.

The master planned development review process is intended to provide a means of consolidating various reviews for large scale projects into a single master plan application and review. A master planned development that has an approved preliminary development plan shall only be required to complete a final plat or site plan review for individual phases or portions of the development. Any master planned development without phasing shall complete a final development plan review.

All master planned developments shall be required to follow the following approval process:

A. Steps to Approval. There are four required review steps to a master planned development approval:

1. MPD Pre-application Meeting. A pre-application conference shall be held with the planning staff and/or Planning Commission in order for the applicant to generally describe the proposed development concept and receive professional recommendation based upon the City’s requirements, and to become acquainted with the master planned development procedures and related requirements;

2. Concept MPD review;

3. Preliminary MPD review;

4. Final MPD review, or site plan review.
