23.47A.007

A. An applicant may seek approval of a Major Phased Development, as defined in Section 23.84A.025 . A Major Phased Development proposal is subject to the provisions of the zone in which it is located and shall meet the following thresholds: 1. A minimum site size of five (5) acres, composed of contiguous parcels or parcels divided only by one or more rights-of-way. 2. The proposed project, which at time of application is a single, functionally interrelated campus, contains more than one building, with a minimum total gross floor area of two hundred thousand (200,000) square feet. 3. The first phase of the development consists of at least one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet in gross building floor area. 4. At the time of application, the project is consistent with the general character of development anticipated by Land Use Code regulations. B. A Major Phased Development application shall be submitted, evaluated, and approved according to the following: 1. The application shall contain a level of detail that is sufficient to reasonably assess anticipated impacts, including those associated with a maximum build-out, within the timeframe requested for Master Use Permit extension. 2. A Major Phased Development component shall not be approved unless the Director concludes that anticipated environmental impacts, such as traffic, open space, shadows, construction impacts and air quality, are not significant or can be effectively monitored and conditions imposed to mitigate impacts over the extended life of the permit. 3. Expiration or renewal of a permit for the first phase of a Major Phased Development is subject to the provisions of Chapter 23.76 , Master Use Permits and Council Land Use Decisions. The Director shall determine the expiration date of a permit for subsequent phases of the Major Phased Development through the analysis provided for above; such expiration shall be no later than fifteen (15) years from the date of issuance. C. Changes to the approved Major Phased Development. 1. When an amendment to a Master Use Permit with a Major Phased Development component is requested, the Director shall determine whether the amendment is minor or not. a. A minor amendment is one that meets the following criteria: (1) Substantial compliance with the approved site plan and conditions imposed in the existing Master Use Permit with the Major Phased Development component with no substantial change in the mix of uses and no major departure from the bulk and scale of structures originally proposed; and (2) Compliance with applicable requirements of this title in effect at the time of the original Master Use Permit approval; and (3) No significantly greater impact would occur. 2. If the Director determines that the amendment is minor, the Director may approve a revised site plan as a Type I decision. The Master Use Permit expiration date of the original approval shall be retained. 3. If the Director determines that the amendment is not minor, the applicant may either continue under the existing MPD approval or may submit a revised MPD application. The revised application shall be the subject of a Type II decision. Only the portion of the site affected by the revision shall be subject to regulations in effect on the date of the revised MPD application, notwithstanding any provision of Chapter 23.76 . The decision may retain or extend the existing expiration date on the portion of the site affected by the revision. (Ord. 122311 , § 44, 2006.)
