The construction plans for any portion of a proposed development shall substantially conform to the preliminary plans or preliminary site plans and stormwater management plan and report, as approved.

(2)

The construction plans shall fully conform to the provisions of this Land Development Code, the comprehensive plan, and all other city land development regulations not explicitly altered by the stipulations.

Only revisions listed on the face of the approved construction plan shall constitute modifications to the preliminary plan or preliminary site plan.

(b)

Submission and review.

(1)

Content review. The developer shall submit up to eight copies of the construction plans and supporting data to the building official or the city council's designee for processing. Within five working days of receipt of construction plans, the building official or the city council's designee shall determine whether the plans are complete and contain all required information. If said content completeness determination is not made within the required time, the plans shall be deemed complete. The developer shall be notified immediately thereafter of the content completion status of the plans. Once the plans are determined or deemed complete, the building official or the city council's designee shall accept the plans for technical review.

(2)

Technical review.

a.

Once a development application is accepted for technical review, the building official or the city council's designee shall have 60 days to formulate technical review comments on such development application. The developer shall be notified immediately thereafter of the technical review comments.

b.

The developer shall have 60 days to respond to the technical review comments and submit the requested additional or revised information. Upon request by the developer, an extension of time may be granted by the building official or the city council's designee upon a showing by the developer that a good faith effort is being made to provide the additional or revised information and that additional time is required. In the event a response is not received or an extension obtained, the application shall be considered withdrawn.

c.

Upon receipt of the additional or revised information, the building official or the city council's designee shall have 30 days to review the additional or revised information. At the end of such timeframe, the building official or the city council's designee shall either finalize his determination or request additional information concerning the response to the technical review comments.

d.

The building official or the city council's designee shall be responsible for approving or disapproving all developments.

Meet the requirements of the land use and zoning classification applicable to the subject property;

Are consistent with this Land Development Code;

c.

Provide design features which address the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare;

d.
