The standards in Chapter 3 are applied based on whether a project is classified as a Major Project or a Minor Project. In addition, each chapter of Chapter 3 contains “applicability directions.” In general, the chapters are applied as follows:

A.    Major Project. Major projects, including developments that require Site Design Review (Chapter 14.42), Land Division approval (Chapter 14.43), Master Planned Development (Chapter 14.45), and amendments to the Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Map (Chapter 14.47), must conform to the applicable sections of:

•    Access and Circulation (Chapter 14.31)

•    Landscaping, Street Trees, Fences and Walls (Chapter 14.32)

•    Parking and Loading (Chapter 14.33)

•    Public Facilities (Chapter 14.34)

•    Surface Water Management (Chapter 14.35)

•    Signs (Chapter 14.38)

•    Sensitive Lands (Chapter 14.37)

B.    Minor Project. Minor projects are small developments and land use actions that require only Land Use Review or Conditional Use approval (no site design review). The following chapters generally apply; however, individual sections will not apply to some projects.

•    Access and Circulation (Chapter 14.31)

•    Landscaping, Street Trees, Fences and Walls (Chapter 14.32)

•    Parking and Loading (Chapter 14.33)
