After submission of the preliminary plan, the City Planning Director is required to submit to the Planning Commission a staff report showing the existing zoning of the subject property and the adjoining properties within or without the boundaries of the City, plus comments on the proposed PUD. After receiving the Planning Director's report, the Planning Commission is required to hold a public hearing on the application. After the hearing, the Planning Commission may approve in principle the preliminary plan, modify or reject it. Within six months from approval of the preliminary plan, the developer is required to file a final development plan showing land use, contours and drainage, traffic circulation, and landscaping. Section 53.330 of the PUD ordinance also requires, as part of the final plan, the submission of architectural sketches of the buildings proposed to be built in the PUD area. That section of the ordinance which is important to this case states: 53.330.
