A. Concurrent Review of Zoning and Preliminary Plat: The elements required of an application for a traditional neighborhood zone are essentially the same as those of a preliminary plat, and an application for zone change and preliminary plat may be considered simultaneously. In order to be considered for concurrent review, the application must contain all preliminary plat requirements set forth in section 10-25C-3.

B. Planning Commission Recommendation: The planning commission shall also forward any recommendations for approval, disapproval, or modification of the TNZ request, as reviewed by them, to the city council to be considered as part of the zone change.

C. Advertising: The zone-change request shall be advertised and heard according to the same requirements as any other zone-change request submitted to the planning commission and city council.

D. Approval – Findings: The city council may approve a TNZ zone-change request only after finding that the requirements of this title, and any other ordinances or restrictions affecting the property, have been satisfied. In granting such approval, the city council may impose and enforce such specific conditions as to site development, phasing, building construction or maintenance, and operation as it deems necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the city.

E. Amendments and Modifications: Any amendment or modification of the TNZ deemed substantial by the city shall be submitted to the planning commission for recommendation, and to the city council for approval. The applicant must comply with all other steps of the review process enumerated herein for the original zone-change application for an amendment or modification. (Ord. 2019-10-002, 10-10-2019)
