Unless specific conditional uses are specified in the PUD plan, only the expansion, enlargement or alteration by area or usage of an interim use pennitted by Section 18.64.080 of this chapter shall require a conditional use permit granted pursuant to Chapter 18.124 of this title. (Prior code § 2 -8.28) 18.68.050 Development. Except as provided in Section 18.68.090, no property subject to this chapter shall be developed in any way nor shall any grading permit be issued pursuant to the provisions of this code until all provisions of this chapter have been completed. As used in this section, "developed" means the submittal of any plans required by this code prior to the commencement of construction of any improvements. (Prior code § 2 -8.29) 18.68.060 Property development standard. A. In order to allow the greatest amount of flexibility in designing a project compatible with the physical features of the property, the uses intended to be developed thereon, and the objectives of this chapter, no minimum property development standards shall apply to the PUD district. The planning commission and city council shall determine appropriate amounts of landscaping, natural open space, parking, signing, distances between buildings, front yards and other development standards as are appropriate for the specific uses requested at the time of considera- tion of the PUD development plan required by Section 18.68.110. Said standards shall be included as conditions to any approved PUD development plan. B. Landscaping shall include, but not be limited to, intensely planted and maintained areas.

For residential developments, said maintenance shall apply to the privately owned natural open space, landscaped areas, and recreational facilities owned by or used in common by the residents. B. The city shall be identified as a third party beneficiary to conditions, covenants and restrictions placed upon a development, unless otherwise directed by the city council or the city attorney. (Prior code § 2 -8.31) 18.68.080 Interpretation. A. Due to the flexibility and imagination desired in PUI) developments, not every issue regarding future develop- ment and use of the property may be established as part of the initial approval of a development. Thus, the com- munity development director shall be charged with responsibility to determine if a change to the approved plan and /or conditions thereto is substantial. If, after review of the plan and conditions, the director determines that the request is a substantial revision or change, the request shall be presented to the planning commission and city council in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 18.04 of this title. if the change is not substantial, the director, after consulting with the city attorney and city engineer, may approve the change, subject to reason- able conditions, and advise the planning commission and city council of said approval, in writing, within 10 days of the approval. B. If the planning commission, city council, applicant or any interested citizen disagrees with the community devel- opment director's determination or conditions of approval, a written appeal shall be filed with the secretary to the planning commission within 20 calendar days of said action and a public hearing shall be held. The requisite no- tices of the public hearing shall be given pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 18.04 of this title. 593 (riwsanton Supp. No. 3, I -10)
