(1) Projects may be completed in phases, provided the phasing meets the requirements of this section and conforms to the approved phasing plan. The zoning regulations in effect at the time of the original approval shall continue to apply.

(2) Developers shall submit site plans that clearly show the various phases or stages of the proposed development and how the requirements of this title will be satisfied with respect to each phase or stage.

(3) Each phase must stand on its own in terms of meeting the requirements of the permit and this title. For example, improvements necessary to support Phase 1 cannot be deferred to be constructed in Phase 2.

(4) The vehicle and pedestrian circulation pattern at the end of each phase must result in a configuration that does not create traffic hazards and that adequately supports the level of traffic anticipated to be generated during each phase.

(5) Phased development authorized in one site development permit may be commenced with separate building permits; however, each phase must be initiated prior to the permit expiration period as provided in Table 8, Permit Approval Time Frames. All construction shall conform to the International Building Code and International Fire Code regulations in force at the time of building permit application. (Ord. 1499 § 6 (Exh. F), 2021).
