16.24.020 Approval of master development plan.

The hearings body shall review a master development plan at the same time a tentative plan for the first phase is reviewed. A master plan may be approved before the tentative plan for the first phase is submitted. The hearings body may approve, modify, or disapprove the master plan and shall set forth findings for such decision. The hearings body may also attach conditions necessary to bring the plan into compliance with all applicable land use ordinances and policies. Any tentative plan submitted for the plan area shall conform to the master plan unless approved otherwise by the county. (Ord. O-160-2000 Exh. A § 3.8, 2000)

16.24.030 Development following approval.

Once the county approves a master plan, the plan shall be binding, upon both the county and the developer. Provided, however, any changes proposed for an approved master plan shall be subject to review in the same manner as the original master plan. The hearings body may attach conditions to any changes proposed that are deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the comprehensive plan and implementing regulations. After five years from the date of approval of the plan, the county may initiate a review of the plan to ensure compliance with applicable county regulations. If necessary, the county may require changes in the plan to bring it into conformance. (Ord. O-160-2000 Exh. A § 3.9, 2000)
