5 | P a g e Site Plan Review City Code states that the Community Development Director is authorized to review and approve, approve with conditions, or deny Site Plan Reviews following the procedures and standards of Section 917.060 of the Little Canada Zoning Code. However, when the City Council adopts an ordinance rezoning a property to a Planned Unit Development Overlay District, it is also approving the Site Plan. In this case, the Applicant is seeking to be rezoned to a PUD Overlay District to receive deviations from the C-2 – Corridor Mixed zoning standards necessitating the Planning Commission and City Council’s review of the site plan. Residential Density The proposed apartment site area (Lot 1) is approximately 2.81 Acres (122,524 square feet). The proposed Flameburger site area (Lot 2) is approximately 0.69 acres (30,215 square feet). The total area of the development is 3.506 Acres (152,739 square feet). When considering only the area of Lot 1, the site does not contain the required square footage for a 160- unit multi-family building in the C-2 District. Table 2.
