§ 52-304. Development plan contents.

The development plan shall include:

(1)

A scale drawing showing any proposed public or private streets and alleys; building sites or building lots; any areas proposed for dedication or reserved as parks, parkways, playgrounds, utility and garbage easements, school sites, street widening, street changes; the points of ingress and egress from existing public streets on an accurate survey of the boundary of tract and topography with a contour interval of not less than five feet, or spot grades where relief is limited.

(2)

Where multiple types of land use are proposed a land use plan delineating the specific areas to be devoted to various uses shall be required.

(3)

Where building complexes are proposed, a site plan showing the location of each building and the minimum distance between buildings, and between buildings and the property line, street line or alley line shall be submitted. For buildings more than one story in height, except single-family and two-family residences, elevations or perspective drawings may be required in order that the relationship of the buildings to the adjacent property, open spaces, and to other features of the development plan may be determined. Such drawings need only indicate the height, number of floors, and exposures for access, light, and air.

(4)

A plan indicating the arrangement and provision of off-street parking and off-street loading where required. Such a plan may be presented as a ratio of off-street parking and off-street loading area to building area when accompanied by a typical example indicating the feasibility of the arrangement proposed and when the areas where the example would be applied are dimensioned on a drawing of the entire site. Any special traffic regulation facilities proposed or required to ensure the safe function of the circulation plan shall also be shown.

(5)

A designation of the maximum building coverage of the site shall be indicated upon the site plan.

(6)

A screening and landscaping plan shall be required where such treatment is essential to the proper arrangement of the development in relation to adjacent property. Such plan shall, when required, include screening walls, ornamental plantings, playgrounds, wooded areas to be retained, lawns and gardens if such are determined to be necessary by the city council. An exception to the side yard requirements may be approved by the city council such that one side may be reduced to zero provided the other side is increased to a minimum of 18 feet. Where such use is adjacent to a residential district or is on a corner lot, a side yard shall be provided adjacent to the residential district or street.

(7)

Any or all of the required features may be incorporated on a single drawing if such drawing is clear and capable of evaluation and interpretation.
