14.29.140 Project Plan Approval.
(1) Concurrent with any request to rezone property to the PIC zone, a preliminary project plan as required by Chapter 15.03.300, Provo City Code, shall be submitted to, and approved by, the Provo City Planning Commission.
(2) Approval of a preliminary project plan shall require the following findings by the Planning Commission:
(a) That the proposed development conforms to the purposes and objectives of the PIC zone as set forth in Section 14.29.010, Provo City Code, and with all other provisions of the PIC zone; and
(b) That the proposed development shall create no detriment to adjacent property nor to the general area in which it is to be located; that it will be in substantial harmony with the character of existing development in the area; and that appropriate buffers and screening be provided to assure separation of potentially incompatible uses within and at the periphery of the project. The Planning Commission may impose such conditions on a preliminary project plan as it may deem appropriate to meet the purposes and objectives of this Chapter. The preliminary project plan shall be submitted to the Municipal Council with any necessary request for a zone change.
(3) Prior to the construction of any building or structure in the PIC zone, a project plan shall be submitted and approved. Said project plan shall be drawn to scale and, in addition to the information required in Section 14.02.090, Provo City Code, shall contain the architectural design of proposed signs. Said plans may be submitted in units or phases for any portions of the PIC zone which can independently meet the requirements and standards of the PIC zone (except minimum area of zone) and other applicable zoning standards.
(4) Any failure to submit a project plan within two (2) years of the approval of the preliminary project plan shall terminate all proceedings and render the preliminary project plan null and void.
(5) The Planning Commission shall, in the process of project plan approval, pay particular attention to assuring that the quality of landscaping designated in the landscaping plan is at least equal to that established by the typical landscaping plan approved as an element of the preliminary project plan. Said Commission shall also assure that the appearance, quality, and durability of architectural materials used on the exterior elevations of all buildings will be consistent with the purposes and objectives of the PIC zone, and will be compatible with the general character of other buildings in the same PIC development.
