§ 1411-45. Phased Developments.  


Latest version.
  • Where the owner of a lot or lots in the DD District intends to phase the development by first erecting one building and then enlarging that building or erecting one or more additional buildings or both, the owner must, prior to commencing development of the site, file a site master plan with the Zoning Hearing Examiner. The site master plan must be a schematic of the intended development of the entire site showing the locations, uses, heights and gross floor areas of every building. The master plan must contain such other information as necessary to determine whether the intended development conforms to the requirements of this Zoning Code. If the development is required to devote gross floor area to residential dwellings of § 1411-11, Required Residential Uses, compliance with the residential dwelling requirement need not be demonstrated at every phase of the development, but only after completion of all phases of the development. Further, the applicant may be required to demonstrate that completion of all phases is a commercially reasonable exception. The master plan may be amended from time to time, provided any amended master plan be filed with the Zoning Hearing Examiner. Compliance with the DD District Regulations imposed by Schedule 1411-07 of § 1411-07 and, as applicable, § 1411-11, must be determined each time a permit for construction of a new building or enlargement of an existing building is made. The site may be further subdivided and title to the various parcels held by different owners, provided that appropriate deed restrictions, covenants and easements be provided as determined to be necessary by the Zoning Hearing Examiner to ensure that the arrangement of building density and public amenities used to calculate allowable gross floor area are maintained for as long as any building erected on the site pursuant to this provision remains.
