§ 65.336. Scope of Master Plan Approval.

Subsequent Permits and Orders. If a master plan is necessary for a proposed development, then the master plan must be approved by the City Council before the applicant receives final site plan approval, building permit approval, or other land development order or permit approval that would authorize development in furtherance of the master plan.

Expiration of the Master Plan. The applicant must receive a building permit for the work requiring the master plan within two years of the master plan approval. If the applicant does not receive the building permit within two years, then the master plan is no longer valid and the applicant must reapply for a master plan if the applicant wishes to proceed with a development requiring a master plan. If the building permit for the work requiring the master plan expires before a certificate of occupancy or certificate of completion is issued for the work requiring the master plan, then the master plan is no longer valid and the applicant must reapply for a master plan if the applicant wishes to proceed with a development requiring a master plan.

Administrative Extension of the Master Plan. The planning official may extend a master plan by up to one year. The holder of the master plan must request such an extension by application for a planning official determination at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, before the expiration of the master plan. To extend the plan, the planning official must consider and then make written affirmative findings of the following standards:

(1)

Whether the proposal remains consistent with applicable provisions of the City's adopted Growth Management Plan, including a consideration of any change to the future land use map designation for adjacent properties since the original approval of the master plan.

(2)

Whether the proposal remains consistent with applicable provisions of the City's adopted Land Development Code, including a consideration of any change to the zoning map designation for adjacent properties since the original approval of the master plan.

(3)

Whether the proposal remains compatible with existing development on adjacent properties, including a consideration of any new development on adjacent properties since the original approval of the master plan.
