24Site Plan Review Standards
Site plan review is an administrative review procedure for certain proposed
developments which are considered likely to significantly impact important
ecosystems, agricultural lands, surrounding land uses and neighborhoods,
and infrastructure needs and demands, and which may be unsafe due to
natural hazards. This site plan review process for proposed new development
will allow any significant adverse impacts on the environment, agricultural
lands, surrounding land uses and neighborhoods, and infrastructure to be
identified, evaluated, and avoided or acceptably mitigated through the
imposition of reasonable conditions.
A site plan review application shall be reviewed in accordance with the following
standards, which the Director has determined to be applicable based on the nature and
extent of the proposed development.
