§ 21.18.030. General Development Plan.

A.

A General Development Plan shall be required prior to the establishment of any development in the Light Commercial district if there is no prior approved General Development Plan and if:

1.

The lot is in excess of one acre; or

2.

The development proposed includes more than one use; or

3.

The development includes any form of subdivision (Title 19, Subdivision Ordinance).

B.

No new development, change or expansion of use, or physical improvements may be approved unless such development, use or expansion is found to be in conformance with an approved General Development Plan and amendments thereto where such plan is required.

C.

General Development Plans and amendments thereto shall be approved by the Board of Supervisors upon recommendation of the Planning Commission.

D.

The General Development Plan shall be prepared by the developer and submitted for review and approval prior to or concurrent with approval of any required permits for the development. The plans shall address the long range development and operation of the facilities including physical expansion and new development, operational changes, circulation or transport improvements, alternative development opportunities, environmental considerations, potential mitigation of adverse environmental impacts and conformance to the policies of the local area plan.

E.

The requirement of a General Development Plan or an amendment to a General Development Plan may be waived by the Director of Planning when, due to the circumstances of the particular situation, there is no potential significant adverse impact from the development and requiring the General Development Plan will not further the purposes of this Chapter.
