The purpose of site plan approval is to ensure compatibility between new developments, existing uses, and future developments in a manner consistent with the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan. Site plan approval is required to promote developments that are harmonious with their surroundings, to maintain a high quality of life for area residents, to ensure that new developments are planned and designed to protect privacy, to determine appropriate lighting and noise mitigation measures, and to ensure adequate and safe access. [Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.320.010].
The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all changes of use, new construction and expansion or alteration of any use unless expressly exempted by this title. No use shall be established, no structure erected or enlarged, and no other improvement or construction undertaken except as shown upon an approved plan which is in conformance with the requirements set out in this title. Applications for site plan review are subject to CBDC 17.130.020, Pre-application review. [Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.320.020].
The following are exempt from the site plan review:
(1) Residential proposals creating less than 10 new units in any zone;
(2) Modifications to the interior of an existing structure that does not change the use or the intensity of a use;
(3) Subdivisions or partitions;
(4) The installation or replacement of underground utilities; and
(5) Other development the director determines to be exempt because it does not result in an appreciable increase in land use activity and intensity and does not create an additional significant adverse impact. [Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.320.030].
(1) Site plan reviews are classified and processed as follows:
(a) Permit Reviews. These site plan reviews are typically relatively minor in nature, consistent with the zoning of surrounding land uses, and do not have a substantial impact on the natural and built environment. The following are classified as Type II site plan reviews:
(i) Changes in use of an existing structure or site;
(ii) New construction or expansions of existing construction which do not exceed:
(A) Four thousand square feet of additional floor area;
(B) Twenty new parking spaces; and
(C) Four new multifamily residential structures.
(b) Development Reviews. Any site plan review not listed as a Type II review in subsection (1)(a) of this section is classified as Type III site plan review.
(2) If a site plan review is part of an overall application that is subject to a higher review process, e.g., conditional use, the city shall review all applications at the higher level of review. [Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.320.040].

(1) It is the responsibility of the director or designee to review each plan for compliance with the applicable provisions of this chapter and any other applicable regulations.
(2) The city shall not approve an application for site plan review unless the director finds that the proposed plan meets all applicable provisions of this subsection. Failure to meet one or more of the requirements of this subsection and other applicable CBDC regulations is grounds for denial. The applicant shall demonstrate compliance with all of the following criteria:

Where a site plan is issued subject to conditions that require the submittal of additional materials or changes to existing plans, the director may require that the applicant submit for final site plan approval to determine if the revised plans comply with the conditions of site plan approval. Final site plans are considered Type I applications. [Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.320.080].
An approved site plan may not be modified or amended except after reapplication for site plan review and subsequent approval. Minor modifications may be completed through a Type I process if the increase in density or intensity of use is 10 percent less than the approved density and intensity of use and the proposed modification will not have a significant adverse effect on adjacent properties or public facilities. All other modifications shall be processed through a Type II approval process. [Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.320.090].
(1) All development of the property for which a site plan was approved shall conform to the approved site plan and any conditions imposed thereon unless amended or replaced by a subsequent city approval.
(2) Site plan approvals shall be valid for two years from the date of issuance, during which time substantial development of the project improvements shall have occurred. The director may approve up to two one-year extensions if:
(a) There have not been any substantial changes in the laws governing the development of the site, with which lack of compliance would be contrary to the changed laws; and
(b) The applicant has pursued development in good faith. Good faith shall be evidenced by progress on final permitting, surveying, engineering, and construction of improvements. [Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.320.100].
All required public and site improvements and other conditions of site plan approval shall be met prior to occupancy of any site unless required sooner as a condition of approval; provided, that completion and occupancy may be accomplished in phases if approved by the director as part of the site plan review process. Incomplete items may be secured by the issuance of a performance bond or other suitable security as a condition of approval of a site plan to secure the applicant’s obligation to complete the provisions and conditions of the approved site plan. [Ord. 503 § 1 (Exh. B), 2018; Ord. 473 § 3 (Exh. A), 2016. Formerly 17.320.110].
