§ 4-26. Conceptual plan.

(a)

In addition to the preapplication conference referenced in section 4-25 of this LDC, the developer, at his option, may submit a conceptual development plan for the purpose of resolving specific issues and questions regarding the acceptability of the proposed development.

(1)

The developer shall show, on a scaled and dimensioned drawing, items such as:

a.

The location and legal description of the property to be developed;

b.

Location and classification of existing streets;

c.

The size of existing lots with the land use and zoning classification;

d.

The approximate location of wetlands or jurisdictional areas;

e.

Retention/detention areas, and such other physical features as may be required by the city in evaluating the proposed design.

(2)

The developer may also show the approximate location of proposed lots, proposed buildings, land uses, parking areas, access, retention/detention areas, buffers, and any other items which the developer wants to discuss.

(b)

The specific issues included with the conceptual plan submittal shall be reviewed for consistency and compliance with this Land Development Code and the city comprehensive plan by city review staff as appropriate. However, acceptance of a conceptual plan or site plan in no way implies approval of an entire preliminary plan or preliminary site plan. Those issues resolved in the conceptual phase cannot be used for denial of a preliminary plan or preliminary site plan.
