Sometimes development proposals will involve more than one application to achieve final approval. Where two or more applications are required, final action by the applicable review body occurs in the following sequence:

1. Plan amendment;

2. Annexation;

3. Text amendment;

4. Preliminary HZC recommendation;

5. Rezoning;

6. Development Plan

7. Preliminary plat;

8. Variance and/or certificate of

appropriateness;

9. Site plan and/or final plat;

10. Grading permit;

11. Performance agreement; then

12. Building permit and/or sign permit.

When two or more applications are required for development approval, the applicant may request to expedite the review process by overlapping the processing of sequential applications. The costs for preparing plans shall be incurred at the applicant’s risk and does not guarantee entitlements. When such a request is made, final action shall adhere to the order set forth in the list above. This request is subject to the approval of the DRT based on the following criteria:

1. The application shall have a low level of complexity;

2. The timing of final action shall adhere to the order set forth in the Procedures Chapter;

3. Any off-site improvements or development agreements shall be approved by the BOMA prior to or in conjunction with approval of a development plan;

4. An application for a plan amendment shall not be reviewed simultaneously with a rezoning or development plan application and shall be reviewed

after an initiation of annexation by the BOMA;

5. A development plan, or its subsequent revision, shall be approved prior to acceptance of a site plan for review, unless revisions are considered minor.

In these cases, a revised development plan may be submitted simultaneously with a site plan; and

6. For single-family residential site plans, an applicant may request a preliminary HZC recommendation prior to final action on a site plan, and then request the certificate of appropriateness prior to the issuance of a building permit.
