The purpose of MDS procedures is to provide the minimum level of ministerial review that guarantees compliance with applicable development standards. MDS approvals shall ensure compliance with specific appearance; transportation safety and efficiency, and stormwater management standards of this Code or other applicable regulations as necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Minimum Development Standards include the following range of review procedures which shall be applied subject to applicability and locational standards contained herein. The Director shall determine the appropriate MDS approach from the following list of MDS review procedures: A. Building Permit Only (BPO). If no additional site review or MDS procedures are required by this Code, building permit procedures and timelines shall be used to determine compliance with applicable standards of this Code. Applicable zoning overlay applications may be processed concurrently with building permit applications. B. Land Use Compatibility Inspection Application (LUCI). This ministerial planning review and/or site inspection process may be used to demonstrate that: (1) the subject site is in substantial compliance with previous approvals; and (2) existing improvements satisfy required standards. LUCI process shall not be used when other provisions of MDS or Site Plan Review apply. C. MDS Minor Application. This process shall be used for expansions or additions on an existing development site that do not exceed 5,000 square feet. D. MDS Major Application.This process shall be used for expansions or additions to certain existing development sites where the expansion or addition does not exceed 25,000 square feet of new impervious area. Finding# 1. The total new development is 12,615 Square feet. The process to be used is greater than 5,000 square feet and less than 25,000 which mandates the use of a MDS Major Application. Criteria of Approval: In order to grant MDS approval, the Director shall determine compliance with all applicable standards specified below: TYP112-00009 Prosper Park MDS (Major) Final Plot Plan Report, May 24, 2012 Page 2 • • Applicable Special Use Standards: Ej Complies as Shown on Final Plot Plan Proposal Complies when the following Condition(s) is/are met: SDC Section 3.2-410 lists the allowed uses within industrial zoning districts and notes any special use standards that may apply to those uses.
