§ 158.246. Post disaster redevelopment site plan approvals.

In the event of a disaster, and to expedite redevelopment, the City Council may designate a particular area of the City for which site plan approvals may be reviewed and approved administratively by the site plan review committee without Planning and Zoning Board or City Council authorization. For such an event, the Zoning Administrator will prepare and present a map and recommendation which outlines a proposed boundary for approval by the City Council. At a public hearing, the City Council shall have authority to take one (1) of the following actions regarding the proposal:

(A)

Accept or modify the proposed boundary and authorize such administrative site plan approvals for a specified period of time. The City Council may also establish such procedures only for a designated project size if determined this is in the best interest of the City.

(B)

Reject the proposal and direct staff to study the area with the intent of forming a redevelopment plan and associated Comprehensive Plan land use changes to limit infrastructure and development within such designated high hazard area. In this case, the City Council should establish a development moratorium for a designated period of time within a particular area while development plans are designed.

(C)

Authorize a combination of (A) and (B) as noted above.

(D)

Reject the proposed boundary and require existing procedures to be followed.
