Section 110-223. Review procedures.
(a) Five copies of the site plan, prepared, signed and sealed by a professional engineer licensed by the state, shall be filed with the building official no later than 30 days prior to the meeting date at which the applicant is seeking planning and zoning board review. Filing fees as set forth in appendix B to this code shall be paid at this time.
(b) The site plan shall be submitted by the building department to the following department heads for their review and comments:
(1) City engineer or registered engineers approved by the city.
(2) building department.
(3) Fire marshal.
(4) State department of environmental protection. All phases calling for buildings located on the Atlantic Ocean and Banana River are to be reviewed by this department.
(c) Within 14 days of the time the plans are received by the various department heads, they shall submit, in writing, to the building department, a written report commenting on factors relating to the site plan.
(d) The building department shall give a copy of the written comments to the applicant or his representative to review, respond to and make any changes he deems appropriate to conform to the comments and recommendations from the department heads.
(e) The applicant shall submit seven copies of the revised site plan, along with his architect's and engineer's comments, in response to the department heads' reviews, to the building department no later than five days prior to the meeting.
(f) All plans shall be made available to the planning and zoning board. All site plans required under this article shall be reviewed for approval by the planning and zoning board. The building official shall prepare a site plan checklist to be submitted to the planning and zoning board when a site plan is reviewed.
(g) If the planning and zoning board elects to grant conditional approval of a site plan subject to any conditions or contingencies, the applicant shall have 90 days from the date of conditional site plan approval to satisfy any such conditions and/or contingencies. If all conditions and/or contingencies are satisfied, the final site plan approval date shall be either the expiration of the 90-day period, or the date the building official certifies by notation on all city site plan copies all conditions and/or contingencies as satisfied, whichever first occurs. The 90-day compliance period may be extended at the discretion of the planning and zoning board if the applicant demonstrates unusual circumstances or undue hardship.
(h) The planning and zoning board shall have no authority to consider a proposed site plan unless:
(1) The applicant has adequately and completely addressed all items on the site plan checklist prepared by the building official; and
(2) The applicant has otherwise complied with all matters contemplated under this section.
At any meeting held for that purpose, the planning and zoning board shall table and reschedule any site plan scheduled for consideration which is determined by the building official not to have complied with all of the requirements of this section. A finding by the building official that a site plan is ready for consideration by the planning and zoning board shall not be construed as binding the board to approve the site plan.
(i) If the planning and zoning board elects to deny any other site plan submitted for review, the applicant shall have 90 days from the meeting date at which the site plan was considered to address any changes or deficiencies. If any site plan so revised is not considered by the planning and zoning board at or before the next regularly scheduled meeting immediately following the expiration of the 90-day period, the application shall be deemed withdrawn and the applicant shall begin the application process anew, including payment of another application fee.
